As part of Chrome OS's FAFT (Fully Automated Firmware Testing)
tests, we need to ensure that the H1 chip is properly setting
some GPIO lines. The h1_gpio attribute exposes the state
of the lines:
- ENTRY_TO_FACT_MODE in BIT(0)
- SPI_CHROME_SEL in BIT(1)
There are two reasons that I am exposing this in debugfs,
and not as a GPIO:
1. This is only useful for testing, so end users shouldn't ever
care about this. In fact, if it passes the tests, then the value of
h1_gpio will always be 2, so it would be really uninteresting for users.
2. This GPIO is not connected to, controlled by, or really even related
to the AP. The GPIO runs between the EC and the H1 security chip.
Changes in v4:
- Use "0x02x\n" instead of "02x\n" for format string
- Use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE()
- Add documentation
Changes in v3:
- Fix documentation to correspond with formatting change in v2.
Changes in v2:
- Zero out the unused fields in the request.
- Format result as "%02x\n" instead of as a decimal.

The current API for the wilco EC mailbox interface is bad.
It assumes that most messages sent to the EC follow a similar structure,
with a command byte in MBOX[0], followed by a junk byte, followed by
actual data. This doesn't happen in several cases, such as setting the
RTC time, using the raw debugfs interface, and reading or writing
properties such as the Peak Shift policy (this last to be submitted soon).
Similarly for the response message from the EC, the current interface
assumes that the first byte of data is always 0, and the second byte
is unused. However, in both setting and getting the RTC time, in the
debugfs interface, and for reading and writing properties, this isn't
true.
The current way to resolve this is to use WILCO_EC_FLAG_RAW* flags to
specify when and when not to skip these initial bytes in the sent and
received message. They are confusing and used so much that they are
normal, and not exceptions. In addition, the first byte of
response in the debugfs interface is still always skipped, which is
weird, since this raw interface should be giving the entire result.
Additionally, sent messages assume the first byte is a command, and so
struct wilco_ec_message contains the "command" field. In setting or
getting properties however, the first byte is not a command, and so this
field has to be filled with a byte that isn't actually a command. This
is again inconsistent.
wilco_ec_message contains a result field as well, copied from
wilco_ec_response->result. The message result field should be removed:
if the message fails, the cause is already logged, and the callers are
alerted. They will never care about the actual state of the result flag.
These flags and different cases make the wilco_ec_transfer() function,
used in wilco_ec_mailbox(), really gross, dealing with a bunch of
different cases. It's difficult to figure out what it is doing.
Finally, making these assumptions about the structure of a message make
it so that the messages do not correspond well with the specification
for the EC's mailbox interface. For instance, this interface
specification may say that MBOX[9] in the received message contains
some information, but the calling code needs to remember that the first
byte of response is always skipped, and because it didn't set the
RESPONSE_RAW flag, the next byte is also skipped, so this information
is actually contained within wilco_ec_message->response_data[7]. This
makes it difficult to maintain this code in the future.
To fix these problems this patch standardizes the mailbox interface by:
- Removing the WILCO_EC_FLAG_RAW* flags
- Removing the command and reserved_raw bytes from wilco_ec_request
- Removing the mbox0 byte from wilco_ec_response
- Simplifying wilco_ec_transfer() because of these changes
- Gives the callers of wilco_ec_mailbox() the responsibility of exactly
and consistently defining the structure of the mailbox request and
response
- Removing command and result from wilco_ec_message.
This results in the reduction of total code, and makes it much more
maintainable and understandable.
