[PATCH v3 0/8] drm/panthor: Localize register access by component
Posted by Karunika Choo 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Hi all,

This series refactors the panthor register access paths so that each
component uses its own local iomem base instead of relying on the
global device mapping throughout the driver.

Today a number of register definitions and helpers are still expressed
in terms of the full device register space, which makes it easy for one
component to reach into another component's registers.

The series prepares the driver for a cleaner per-component layout in 3
steps:
- make the low-level GPU register helpers operate on an iomem pointer
  rather than a panthor_device pointer
- split register definitions and move cross-component accesses behind
  helpers owned by the relevant component
- convert GPU, PWR, firmware and MMU code to use component-local iomem
  bases, while keeping IRQ handling on a dedicated IRQ-local base.

The end result is that register accesses become more obviously scoped to
the component that owns them, cross-component register accesses are
removed from callers, and the common IRQ helpers no longer depend on
absolute register offsets.

No functional change is intended.

v3:
- Picked up Acks and Reviewed-bys from Boris, Liviu, and Steve.
- Cleaned up definition of pwr->iomem and pwr->irq.iomem.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260412142951.2309135-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/
v2:
- Picked up Acks from Boris.
- Moved GPU_ID definitions into panthor_gpu_regs.h and deleted
  panthor_hw_regs.h
- Fixed incorrect spelling of timestamp helper functions.
- Changed IRQ request function to take an iomem pointer instead of an
  offset.
- Update panthor_gpu_info_init() to use the correct block-local iomem
  pointers for register accesses.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260410164637.549145-1-karunika.choo@arm.com/

Kind regards,
Karunika
