Description Leif Liddy 2016-01-16 23:42:35 UTC
Created attachment 200081 [details]
BtwSerialBus-dev.inf.txt

Here's what I've found so far...

There is a BCM2E7C:APPLE-UART-BLTH device listed in the acpi namespace.

P: /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:17/BCM2E7C:00
E: DEVPATH=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:17/BCM2E7C:00
E: ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=Broadcom
E: MODALIAS=acpi:BCM2E7C:APPLE-UART-BLTH:
E: SUBSYSTEM=acpi
E: USEC_INITIALIZED=7539067

However, there is no listing for BCM2E7C in modules.alias

The windows inf file for this device shows that BCM2E7C corresponds to BCM4350 

%Bus.DeviceDesc%=BluePinole2E7C,    ACPI\BCM2E7C        ; BCM4350 no flash

In the extracted driver files there is no corresponding hcd file for BCM4350. I'm guessing that's what meant by "no flash" --that no firmware needs to loaded onto the device.

lshw

I tried adding BCM2E7C to hci.bcm.c
Didn't work, but here's what was shown in the logs. 

hci_bcm BCM2E7C:00: BCM irq: -22
hci_bcm BCM2E7C:00: invalid platform data
hci_bcm: probe of BCM2E7C:00 failed with error -22

I've posted the output of lshw which shows several unclaimed devices like the
Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO UART Controller #0

Does anyone whether this would prevent the kernel from communicating with the bluetooth device?
Comment 2 Leif Liddy 2016-01-17 22:24:42 UTC
I think I may have answered my own question.

lspci shows that that all four of these controllers are part of the same device:
(**all 4 of these controllers are unclaimed by the kernel)

00:15.0 Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO DMA Controller (rev 03)
00:15.2 Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller #1 (rev 03)
00:15.4 Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO GSPI Controller #1 (rev 03)
00:15.5 Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO UART Controller #0 (rev 03)


sysfs shows that BCM2E7C does fall under the Serial IO UART Controller

./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.5/BCM2E7C:00
./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.5/BCM2E7C:00/power

./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.5/BCM2E7C:00/power/runtime_enabled
.....

If anyone has any ideas on how to get this things working let me know....
Comment 3 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-20 17:04:15 UTC
Windows or Linux compatible hardware is supplying by ACPI tables and ACPI enumerated controllers. Here we have them PCI enumerated.

The drivers/dma/dw/pci.c, drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.c, drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-pcidrv.c, and drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c have to be updated accordingly, i.e. for first step the IDs must be added.

Comment 8 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-21 19:28:16 UTC
From log it looks like driver can't get interrupt line.

Anyway, can you provide

% lspci -nk

% cat /proc/interrupts

% lsmod

Have you loaded module? I didn't see ports detected from the log file.

Comment 13 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-21 19:57:27 UTC
Can you add 'nr_uarts=8 ignore_loglevel' to the command line? And resend /proc/interrupts when all serial ports are opened? You may achieve this by doing something like
% cat < /dev/ttyS0 &

To get them working with my hardware?
Comment 18 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-21 21:39:11 UTC
So, the attachment #200901 [details] doesn't make sense since UART driver is not bound. Something prevents this to happen. Boot kernel with 'nr_uarts=8 ignore_loglevel initcall_debug debug' and attach dmesg output.
Comment 19 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-21 21:39:55 UTC

In drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-pcidrv.c
What do I put for the arch? 

        /* Haswell */

Are you sure you have the patch applied? It should bind to the PCI UART device and I cannot see it happening from your lspci. Please double check.

Ah, I can see now that I missed few places in the patch.

BTW, can you attach acpidump from that machine to the bug?

How many such lines do you have in dmesg?  You may decrease or drop nr_uarts parameter from kernel command line.

So, I didn't get do you have it working now?
Comment 34 Leif Liddy 2016-01-23 15:34:13 UTC
Here's the current status:
**I'm running a kernel with patched versions of 
./drivers/dma/dw/pci.c
./drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c

The bluetooth device always gets assigned to /dev/ttyS4
0000:00:15.5: ttyS4 at MMIO 0xc1819000 (irq = 21, base_baud = 2764800) is a 16550A

I can get the hci0 interface to show up by running:

# btattach --bredr /dev/ttyS4 -P bcm
Attaching BR/EDR controller to /dev/ttyS4
Switched line discipline from 0 to 15
Device index 0 attached

hci0:	Type: BR/EDR  Bus: UART
	BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00  ACL MTU: 0:0  SCO MTU: 0:0
	DOWN 
	RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
	TX bytes:14 acl:0 sco:0 commands:3 errors:0

But I can't bring up the interface with "hciconfig hci0 up"
[  678.412771] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0xfc45 tx timeout
[  686.409745] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: failed to write clock (-110)
[  688.409716] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c03 tx timeout
[  696.409694] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)

I suspect more work needs to be done with with hci_bcm.c or with btbcm.c
I'm still seeing these messages at boot:
[   36.775883] hci_bcm BCM2E7C:00: BCM irq: -22
[   36.779009] hci_bcm BCM2E7C:00: invalid platform data
[   36.822702] hci_bcm: probe of BCM2E7C:00 failed with error -22

I should be seeing something more like this:
hci_bcm BCM2E7C:00: BCM2E7C:00 device registered.


I posted the info from OSX just to give you more insight into the details of the device. Let me know if what information you would find useful.

Booted with nr_uarts=8

I did  cat < /dev/ttyS[0-7] &
Only worked for /dev/ttyS4 
For all other ports, received "Input/output error"

Comment 37 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-25 09:33:55 UTC
It looks like Bluetooth device has his own methods to be controlled.
BTPU (power up?), BTPD (power down), BTRS (reset), BTLP (low power). Driver doesn't support that (yet?).
Comment 38 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-27 18:08:36 UTC
Reassign to Bluetooth team since UART driver seems working now.
Comment 39 Andy Shevchenko 2016-01-27 18:09:13 UTC
Oops, now for sure.
Comment 40 Mika Westerberg 2016-01-29 12:42:34 UTC
Leif,

I'm going to send the uart patch upstream. Since you did changes to the patch as well, can I add your Signed-off-by to it?
Comment 41 Leif Liddy 2016-01-29 14:10:12 UTC
Yeah, that's fine. Are you also submitting a patch for hci_bcm.c as well? 
**I've just updated my email address in my profile --please use the new address.
Comment 42 Mika Westerberg 2016-01-29 14:24:08 UTC
Yes, I'll submit them both. And will use your updated email address.

Hello Guys. 

Quick info: I have tested with 4.6-rc3: No change.

Do you need some logfiles or can I help somehow?

Hello.

I found that on the XPS13 they use the same chip. On the ARCH wiki, they have a link to download ans install the firmware. It seems that you have seperate firmware for the NIC and for bluetooth. Unfortunately this also does not work, but I thought I bring it to your attention.

FYI: Some work has been done on this at:
https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/29

Commits to use the ACPI methods can be found in:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/master...l1k:hci_bcm

This fixes the "invalid platform data".

Using btattach still results in the same "command ... tx timeout" though.
Comment 46 Leif Liddy 2017-09-24 22:41:27 UTC
Cool, thanks for the update.

I managed to get bluetooth working on a 4.14-rc1 kernel after applying 

l1k's hci_bcm.c patch
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/master...l1k:hci_bcm

and roadrunner2's hci_bcm.c and hci_ldisc.c patches
https://github.com/l1k/linux/pull/1/files/61c59e8b2a7f129a339608610069a26f4181c82a..7dd4a90a92b97b017d9210899afcfbe985b10509

There's a pull request to include roadrunner's patches in l1k's repo. Work is also being done to port the patches to 4.14 (I just did it manually)
So, this all be cleaned up in the near future.

Should have mentioned that I'm using a Macbook9,1 12-inch (2016) model.
Comment 48 Christoph Gysin 2017-09-25 07:08:58 UTC
I got it to work in a MBP13,1 using those same patches.

Are these patches still required or have they eventually been merged into the kernel eventually?
