protocol based on a device tree image supplied by the virt host.

(5) For new code, please strive to keep the Packages / LibraryClasses /
etc sections in INF files sorted. First, it looks nice; second (more
importantly), it helps you verify that you list all the library classes
explicitly that you depend on.

For example, DebugLib.h is included from the source code (correctly),
but DebugLib is not present here (it should be). The linker succeeds
because one of the library instances we depend on pulls in DebugLib
anyway, but it's not nice. Concord can be reached if the C source
includes Library/*.h headers until the compiler stops whining (and
nothing more), and if the LibraryClasses section is consequently matched
to the include list (+ UefiDriverEntryPoint).

Similarly, PcdLib looks superfluous. Etc.

(7) Can you remove BaseLib.h and UefiLib.h? Hmmm wait, BaseLib.h is
needed for AsciiStrCmp() below.

What about UefiLib.h though?

(9) I think we can present the property size directly as UINT32 in the
protocol interface.

(11) I don't mind this, but then we should be consistent about it. In
GetNodeProperty(), "Prop" is a mandatory output parameter, but you don't
validate it.

I think it's okay to drop the check here.

(12) I realize this is being copied / reworked from VirtFdtDxe. Let's
use the opportunity to clean up things -- please replace NULL with NUL.

(13) Are we going to use this interface frequently? Hm... grepping the
tree in your "virt-fdt-refactor" branch, I can find four call sites. One
is just below, another one in ArmVirtPsciResetSystemLib, and the last
two in ArmVirtTimerFdtClientLib.

I'm torn. This should be a helper function in a library.

Meh, don't bother; keep it as-is. We can always rework this protocol if
necessary. :)

(14) How about renaming this function (and the protocol member) to
GetCompatibleNodeProperty()? Just a suggestion, feel free to disagree.

(15) I haven't been verifying it consistently, but this line seems too
long.

(16) Can you verify that RegSize is divisible by 8? Log an error message
and return an error code if it isn't.

Also, due to points (9) and (10), you should be able to use the %
operator for it (no need for a 64-bit wrapper function).

(17) Please rename this function (and the protocol member) to
GetOrInsertChosenNode().

In general, it wouldn't be bad if you could document all the protocol
member functions (according to the edk2 coding style, with leading
comment blocks). I don't insist (the functions are quite small), but
without such documentation, the function names become way more
important, and should be very clear.

(Also, in my experience, writing such function comments leads to
"enlightenment" occasionally :) Opportunities for unification etc. I
can't point at any candidates in this patch; it's just a generic
remark.)

(18) Okay, this is copied from InitializeVirtFdtDxe(). Please add a
space after "GetFirstGuidHob".

(19) Please indent the arguments and the closing paren one or two colums
relative to "InstallProtocolInterface".

I'll seek to continue the review tomorrow.

I don't think minimising the set of #includes should be a goal in
itself, especially since you may end up relying on transitive
includes. A source file should include the header files for all
functionality it pulls in from other objects.
I know we still end up relying on transitive includes for things like
types, and EDK2 with its AutoGen.? may supply some things implicitly
as well. But in general, I don't think removing header #includes
because you can is a good thing.

Other than that, I agree that this should be cleaned up

I was torn myself between putting the DT base address in a protocol
and nothing else, and providing some access functions around it. I
have tried to find a sweet spot where we don't duplicate too much code
in the caller, and expose an abstract interface which does not allow
the DT to be arbitrarily mangled.

I used Find vs Get since the former suggests that you look for
something that may be anywhere, or not present at all, whereas Get
suggests 'just get me the node, even if you have to create it'

But as I said, I am mostly interested in the protocol dependency that
this provides, and the actual interface could look wildly different
for all I care.

Thanks

We haven't discussed the general goal of this series, but I assume
you're on board with that, given that you are reviewing in detail
already.

Thanks again,

I think there are certainly arguments in favor of thinking about a
protocol like a shared library (dynamic linking). If we consider it a
service / singleton protocol, and simply want to avoid linking the code
statically into a bunch of independent EFI binaries, that's a good
enough reason for protocol-izing it. I don't think it's necessary for a
protocol to have several instances, and for each instance to have a
bunch of private data to it.

I think GetNodeProperty() doesn't comply with that already.

I think the interface looks good thus far, I'd just like it to be a bit
more intuitive. That's why I suggested docs, or name(s) that I felt
would be improvement.

Good point. It does make sense to delay the docs until we get to the end
of the series and the interface proves good (for what we need it).

Yes, I read the blurb. On one hand, we can have one iteration over the
FDT (+), a bunch of PCDs (which are not flexible enough for exposing
repeating data, BTW) (-), a driver that is tied to everything (-), and
an APRIORI section (-).

On the other hand, each interested driver might have to iterate over the
FDT (-) albeit through the protocol, the data fished out of the DTB
could be arbitrary (+), the FDT accesses would be separated from each
other functionally (+), and DepExes could replace the APRIORI section (+).

I think the conversion is valuable. I do expect some snags (I skimmed a
bit ahead in the series) with PCDs that we'll have to set anyway,
because core drivers depend on them. Plugin libraries can hopefully help
with that (or else we might be able to prove the necessary ordering by
different means). I'll comment on this in more detail when I look at the
affected patches.

Thanks

Agreed. Let's be pragmatic here: all we want to reuse PCD based
drivers that produce architectural protocols, and that are normally
fixed for a platform but now need to be discovered from DT, which
imposed some kind of ordering. I am happy with almost anything that
achieves that in a more maintainable way than VirtFdtDxe, even if it
does not rhyme :-)

Yes, please. And since only virtio/mmio and xenio/mmio remain in
VirtFdtDxe, I could actually handle that as well in a v2, and get rid
of VirtFdtDxe completely.
