Data transfer mode is fixed by TrustZone (TZ), which currently restricts
developers from modifying the transfer mode from the APPS side.

Document the 'qcom,xfer-mode' properties to select the data transfer mode,
either GPI DMA (Generic Packet Interface) or non-GPI mode (PIO/CPU DMA).

UART controller can operate in one of two modes based on the
'qcom,xfer-mode' property, and the firmware is loaded accordingly.

v1 -> v2:

- Drop 'qcom,load-firmware' property and add 'firmware-name' property in
  qup common driver.
- Update commit log.

Just one blank line, but anyway, this property should not be in three
places. Do you really expect that each of serial engines within one
GeniQUP will be configured differently by TZ?

Yes, each SE is configured separately and it's quite frequent when
different SEs have different DMA configuration.

Well, I checked at sm8550 and sm8650 and each pair of SE - which shares
resources - has the same DMAs, so I would not call it frequent. Care to
bring an example where same serial engines have different DMAs and
different TZ? We do not talk about single QUP.

Anyway, if you need property per node, this has to be shared schema.

I'd rather ask a different question.. Is there *any* reason to not use
DMA for protocols that support it?

If not, we can simplify this to:

xfer_mode = protocol == PROTOCOL_UART ? XFER_FIFO : XFER_DMA

Well, I don't have access to the latest sm8550 / sm8650 devcfg sources.
I checked the RB5 ones. As far as I understand out of 14 enabled SEs
only two are configured for the GSI DMA, others should use FIFO / SE
DMA. Same applies to the SM8250 MTP devices. Checking the RB1 / RB2
setup also shows 3 out of 6 SEs being set for GSI.

But they are the same serial engines. Again, we do not talk here about
QUP, but serial engines.

I think selecting GSI DMA is only for devices needs high speed streaming to the
device, like the touch screen, using GSI DMA for random small access is a non-sense.

But the thing is, in the TZ world the configuration was static so we had no choice
of using GSI DMA when configured, but now we have the choice so we could totally
reconfigure the SE with the transfer type (FIFO, SE DMA or GSI DMA) as runtime and
drop this attribute.

So instead of hardcoding this, add a way to dynamically select either of the 3
transfer types when firmware can be loaded from HLOS.

Yes, GSI DMA mode is required for specific use cases only.

Dynamically switching from GSI mode to non-GSI mode is neither possible 
nor useful. For each SE, the use case is fixed, and based on the use 
case, the developer can choose the mode via the device tree property.

No, it cannot. Do not describe downstream as something set in stone.

Yes, this property is required for each SE node.
Can we use qcom,geni-se.yaml as a common YAML for the shared schema? 
Please suggest.

To exactly summarize:
GSI DMA and CPU DMA are mostly same performance unless we have
multiprocessor systems queuing the transfers
together.

GSI DMA to be used when multiprocessor systems (Application 
processor/TZ/modem/ADSP subsystems) has use cases together.
If only single subsystem or processor is using CPU DMA mode should be used.

Hardware guidance and configuration suggest that CPU DMA and FIFO can be 
switched but GSI DMA.

CPI DMA : Doesn't work with multiple subsystems.
FIFO : same as CPU DMA but < 64 bytes (FIFO_SIZE)
GSI_DMA: Work with multiple subsystems

Overall, there will be GSI and non-GSI modes. Dynamic switching is only 
required in PIO mode (FIFO and CPU DMA).

Sorry, I am not referring to downstream but rather to the general 
process of mode selection.

Please let us know if you need more clarity.
