acpi_device: Add support for writing ACPI Device Properties
The recent ACPI specification extensions have formally defined a
method for describing device information with a key=value format that
is modeled after the Devicetree/DTS format using a special crafted
object named _DSD with a specific UUID for this format.
There are three defined Device Property types: Integers, Strings, and
References. It is also possible to have arrays of these properties
under one key=value pair. Strings and References are both represented
as character arrays but result in different generated ACPI OpCodes.
Various helpers are provided for writing the Device Property header
(to fill in the object name and UUID) and footer (to fill in the
property count and device length values) as well as for writing the
different Device Property types. A specific helper is provided for
writing the defined GPIO binding Device Property that is used to allow
GPIOs to be referred to by name rather than resource index.
This is all documented in the _DSD Device Properties UUID document:
http://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-device-properties-UUID.pdf
This will be used by device drivers to provide device properties that
are consumed by the operating system. Devicetree bindings are often
described in the linux kernel at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
A sample driver here has an input GPIO that it needs to describe to
the kernel driver:
chip.h:
struct drivers_generic_sample_config {
struct acpi_gpio mode_gpio;
};
sample.c:
static void acpi_fill_ssdt_generator(struct device *dev) {
struct drivers_generic_sample_config *config = dev->chip_info;
const char *path = acpi_device_path(dev);
...
acpi_device_write_gpio(&config->mode_gpio);
...
acpi_dp_write_header();
acpi_dp_write_gpio("mode-gpio", path, 0, 0, 0);
acpi_dp_write_footer();
...
}
devicetree.cb:
device pci 1f.0 on
chip drivers/generic/sample
register "mode_gpio" = "ACPI_GPIO_INPUT(GPP_B1)"
device generic 0 on end
end
end
SSDT.dsl:
Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
GpioIo (Exclusive, PullDefault, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
"\\_SB.PCI0.GPIO", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 25 }
})
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID ("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
Package () {
Package () {"mode-gpio", Package () { \_SB.PCI0.LPCB, 0, 0, 1 }}
}
})
