+PHY subsystem
+=============
+
+:Author: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>
+
+This document explains the Generic PHY Framework along with the APIs provided,
+and how-to-use.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+*PHY* is the abbreviation for physical layer. It is used to connect a device
+to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions
+such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible
+for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB
+controllers have PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external
+PHY. Other peripherals that use PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet,
+SATA etc.
+
+The intention of creating this framework is to bring the PHY drivers spread
+all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and for
+better code maintainability.
+
+This framework will be of use only to devices that use external PHY (PHY
+functionality is not embedded within the controller).
+
+Registering/Unregistering the PHY provider
+==========================================
+
+PHY provider refers to an entity that implements one or more PHY instances.
+For the simple case where the PHY provider implements only a single instance of
+the PHY, the framework provides its own implementation of of_xlate in
+of_phy_simple_xlate. If the PHY provider implements multiple instances, it
+should provide its own implementation of of_xlate. of_xlate is used only for
+dt boot case.
+
+::
+
+	#define of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate)    \
+		__of_phy_provider_register((dev), NULL, THIS_MODULE, (xlate))
+
+	#define devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate)       \
+		__devm_of_phy_provider_register((dev), NULL, THIS_MODULE,
+						(xlate))
+
+of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to
+register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as
+arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above
+2 macros to register the PHY provider.
+
+Often the device tree nodes associated with a PHY provider will contain a set
+of children that each represent a single PHY. Some bindings may nest the child
+nodes within extra levels for context and extensibility, in which case the low
+level of_phy_provider_register_full() and devm_of_phy_provider_register_full()
+macros can be used to override the node containing the children.
+
+::
+
+	#define of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children, xlate) \
+		__of_phy_provider_register(dev, children, THIS_MODULE, xlate)
+
+	#define devm_of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children, xlate) \
+		__devm_of_phy_provider_register_full(dev, children,
+						     THIS_MODULE, xlate)
+
+	void devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(struct device *dev,
+		struct phy_provider *phy_provider);
+	void of_phy_provider_unregister(struct phy_provider *phy_provider);
+
+devm_of_phy_provider_unregister and of_phy_provider_unregister can be used to
+unregister the PHY.
+
+Creating the PHY
+================
+
+The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers
+to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY.
+
+::
+
+	struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node,
+			       const struct phy_ops *ops);
+	struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev,
+				    struct device_node *node,
+				    const struct phy_ops *ops);
+
+The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing
+the device pointer and phy ops.
+phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as
+init, exit, power_on and power_off.
+
+Inorder to dereference the private data (in phy_ops), the phy provider driver
+can use phy_set_drvdata() after creating the PHY and use phy_get_drvdata() in
+phy_ops to get back the private data.
+
+4. Getting a reference to the PHY
+
+Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to
+it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY.
+
+::
+
+	struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+	struct phy *phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+	struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+	struct phy *devm_phy_optional_get(struct device *dev,
+					  const char *string);
+	struct phy *devm_of_phy_get_by_index(struct device *dev,
+					     struct device_node *np,
+					     int index);
+
+phy_get, phy_optional_get, devm_phy_get and devm_phy_optional_get can
+be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot, the string arguments
+should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and in the case of
+non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY.  The two
+devm_phy_get associates the device with the PHY using devres on
+successful PHY get. On driver detach, release function is invoked on
+the devres data and devres data is freed. phy_optional_get and
+devm_phy_optional_get should be used when the phy is optional. These
+two functions will never return -ENODEV, but instead returns NULL when
+the phy cannot be found.Some generic drivers, such as ehci, may use multiple
+phys and for such drivers referencing phy(s) by name(s) does not make sense. In
+this case, devm_of_phy_get_by_index can be used to get a phy reference based on
+the index.
+
+It should be noted that NULL is a valid phy reference. All phy
+consumer calls on the NULL phy become NOPs. That is the release calls,
+the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and
+phy_power_off() calls are all NOP when applied to a NULL phy. The NULL
+phy is useful in devices for handling optional phy devices.
+
+Releasing a reference to the PHY
+================================
+
+When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference
+to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The
+PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY.
+
+::
+
+	void phy_put(struct phy *phy);
+	void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put
+destroys the devres associated with this PHY.
+
+Destroying the PHY
+==================
+
+When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it
+created using one of the following 2 APIs::
+
+	void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy);
+	void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs destroy the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres
+associated with this PHY.
+
+PM Runtime
+==========
+
+This subsystem is pm runtime enabled. So while creating the PHY,
+pm_runtime_enable of the phy device created by this subsystem is called and
+while destroying the PHY, pm_runtime_disable is called. Note that the phy
+device created by this subsystem will be a child of the device that calls
+phy_create (PHY provider device).
+
+So pm_runtime_get_sync of the phy_device created by this subsystem will invoke
+pm_runtime_get_sync of PHY provider device because of parent-child relationship.
+It should also be noted that phy_power_on and phy_power_off performs
+phy_pm_runtime_get_sync and phy_pm_runtime_put respectively.
+There are exported APIs like phy_pm_runtime_get, phy_pm_runtime_get_sync,
+phy_pm_runtime_put, phy_pm_runtime_put_sync, phy_pm_runtime_allow and
+phy_pm_runtime_forbid for performing PM operations.
+
+PHY Mappings
+============
+
+In order to get reference to a PHY without help from DeviceTree, the framework
+offers lookups which can be compared to clkdev that allow clk structures to be
+bound to devices. A lookup can be made be made during runtime when a handle to
+the struct phy already exists.
+
+The framework offers the following API for registering and unregistering the
+lookups::
+
+	int phy_create_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id,
+			      const char *dev_id);
+	void phy_remove_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id,
+			       const char *dev_id);
+

+====================================
+Samsung USB 2.0 PHY adaptation layer
+====================================
+
+1. Description
+--------------
+
+The architecture of the USB 2.0 PHY module in Samsung SoCs is similar
+among many SoCs. In spite of the similarities it proved difficult to
+create a one driver that would fit all these PHY controllers. Often
+the differences were minor and were found in particular bits of the
+registers of the PHY. In some rare cases the order of register writes or
+the PHY powering up process had to be altered. This adaptation layer is
+a compromise between having separate drivers and having a single driver
+with added support for many special cases.
+
+2. Files description
+--------------------
+
+- phy-samsung-usb2.c
+   This is the main file of the adaptation layer. This file contains
+   the probe function and provides two callbacks to the Generic PHY
+   Framework. This two callbacks are used to power on and power off the
+   phy. They carry out the common work that has to be done on all version
+   of the PHY module. Depending on which SoC was chosen they execute SoC
+   specific callbacks. The specific SoC version is selected by choosing
+   the appropriate compatible string. In addition, this file contains
+   struct of_device_id definitions for particular SoCs.
+
+- phy-samsung-usb2.h
+   This is the include file. It declares the structures used by this
+   driver. In addition it should contain extern declarations for
+   structures that describe particular SoCs.
+
+3. Supporting SoCs
+------------------
+
+To support a new SoC a new file should be added to the drivers/phy
+directory. Each SoC's configuration is stored in an instance of the
+struct samsung_usb2_phy_config::
+
+  struct samsung_usb2_phy_config {
+	const struct samsung_usb2_common_phy *phys;
+	int (*rate_to_clk)(unsigned long, u32 *);
+	unsigned int num_phys;
+	bool has_mode_switch;
+  };
+
+The num_phys is the number of phys handled by the driver. `*phys` is an
+array that contains the configuration for each phy. The has_mode_switch
+property is a boolean flag that determines whether the SoC has USB host
+and device on a single pair of pins. If so, a special register has to
+be modified to change the internal routing of these pins between a USB
+device or host module.
+
+For example the configuration for Exynos 4210 is following::
+
+  const struct samsung_usb2_phy_config exynos4210_usb2_phy_config = {
+	.has_mode_switch        = 0,
+	.num_phys		= EXYNOS4210_NUM_PHYS,
+	.phys			= exynos4210_phys,
+	.rate_to_clk		= exynos4210_rate_to_clk,
+  }
+
+- `int (*rate_to_clk)(unsigned long, u32 *)`
+
+	The rate_to_clk callback is to convert the rate of the clock
+	used as the reference clock for the PHY module to the value
+	that should be written in the hardware register.
+
+The exynos4210_phys configuration array is as follows::
+
+  static const struct samsung_usb2_common_phy exynos4210_phys[] = {
+	{
+		.label		= "device",
+		.id		= EXYNOS4210_DEVICE,
+		.power_on	= exynos4210_power_on,
+		.power_off	= exynos4210_power_off,
+	},
+	{
+		.label		= "host",
+		.id		= EXYNOS4210_HOST,
+		.power_on	= exynos4210_power_on,
+		.power_off	= exynos4210_power_off,
+	},
+	{
+		.label		= "hsic0",
+		.id		= EXYNOS4210_HSIC0,
+		.power_on	= exynos4210_power_on,
+		.power_off	= exynos4210_power_off,
+	},
+	{
+		.label		= "hsic1",
+		.id		= EXYNOS4210_HSIC1,
+		.power_on	= exynos4210_power_on,
+		.power_off	= exynos4210_power_off,
+	},
+	{},
+  };
+
+- `int (*power_on)(struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance *);`
+  `int (*power_off)(struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance *);`
+
+	These two callbacks are used to power on and power off the phy
+	by modifying appropriate registers.
+
+Final change to the driver is adding appropriate compatible value to the
+phy-samsung-usb2.c file. In case of Exynos 4210 the following lines were
+added to the struct of_device_id samsung_usb2_phy_of_match[] array::
+
+  #ifdef CONFIG_PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2
+	{
+		.compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-usb2-phy",
+		.data = &exynos4210_usb2_phy_config,
+	},
+  #endif
+
+To add further flexibility to the driver the Kconfig file enables to
+include support for selected SoCs in the compiled driver. The Kconfig
+entry for Exynos 4210 is following::
+
+  config PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2
+	bool "Support for Exynos 4210"
+	depends on PHY_SAMSUNG_USB2
+	depends on CPU_EXYNOS4210
+	help
+	  Enable USB PHY support for Exynos 4210. This option requires that
+	  Samsung USB 2.0 PHY driver is enabled and means that support for this
+	  particular SoC is compiled in the driver. In case of Exynos 4210 four
+	  phys are available - device, host, HSCI0 and HSCI1.
+
+The newly created file that supports the new SoC has to be also added to the
+Makefile. In case of Exynos 4210 the added line is following::
+
+  obj-$(CONFIG_PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2)       += phy-exynos4210-usb2.o
+
+After completing these steps the support for the new SoC should be ready.
