In commit 567aba0b7997dad5fe3fb4aeb174ee9018df8c5b, the probe address
for tda8290_probe and tda8295_probe was hard-coded to 0x4b, which is the
default i2c address for those devices, but its possible for the device
to be at an alternate address, 0x42, which is the case for the HVR-1950.
If we probe the wrong address, probe fails and we have a non-working
device. We have the actual address passed into the function by way of
i2c_props, we just need to use it. Also fix up some copy/paste comment
issues and streamline debug spew a touch. Verified to restore my
HVR-1950 to full working order.
Special thanks to Ken Bass for reporting the issue in the first place,
and to both he and Gary Buhrmaster for aiding in debugging and analysis
of the problem.

There's a Realtek combo card reader and IR receiver device with multiple
usb interfaces on it. The mceusb driver is incorrectly grabbing all of
them. This change should make it bind to only interface 2 (patch based
on lsusb output on the linux-media list from Lucian Muresan).
Tested regression-free with the six mceusb devices I have myself.

The CIR Wake FIFO is 67 bytes long, but the stock remote appears to only
populate 65 of them. Limit comparison to 65 bytes, and wake from suspend
works a whole lot better (it wasn't working at all for most folks).
Fix based on comparison with the old lirc_wb677 driver from Nuvoton,
debugging and testing done by Dave Treacy by way of the lirc mailing
list.

Thanks to Hauppauge Computer Works for providing sample hardware.

After upgrading the kernel from stock Ubuntu 7.10 to
10.04, with no hardware changes, I started getting the dreaded DMA
TIMEOUT errors, followed by inability to encode until the machine was
rebooted.
I came across a post from Andy in March
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/40943#40943) where he
speculates that perhaps the corrective actions being taken after a DMA
ERROR are not sufficient to recover the situation. After some testing
I suspect that this is indeed the case, and that in fact the corrective
action may be what hangs the card's DMA engine, rather than the
original error.
Specifically these DMA ERROR IRQs seem to present with two different
values in the IVTV_REG_DMASTATUS register: 0x11 and 0x13. The current
corrective action is to clear that status register back to 0x01 or
0x03, and then issue the next DMA request. In the case of a 0x13 this
seems to result in a minor glitch in the encoded stream due to the
failed transfer that was not retried, but otherwise things continue OK.
In the case of a 0x11 the card's DMA write engine is never heard from
again, and a DMA TIMEOUT follows shortly after. 0x11 is the killer.
I suspect that the two cases need to be handled differently. The
difference is in bit 1 (0x02), which is set when the error is about to
be successfully recovered, and clear when things are about to go bad.
Bit 1 of DMASTATUS is described differently in different places either
as a positive "write finished", or an inverted "write busy". If we
take the first definition, then when an error arises with state 0x11,
it means that the write did not complete. It makes sense to start a
new transfer, as in the current code. But if we take the second
definition, then 0x11 means "an error but the write engine is still
busy". Trying to feed it a new transfer in this situation might not be
a good idea.
As an experiment, I added code to ignore the DMA ERROR IRQ if DMASTATUS
is 0x11. I.e., don't start a new transfer, don't clear our flags, etc.
The hope was that the card would complete the transfer and issue a ENC
DMA COMPLETE, either successfully or with an error condition there.
However the card still hung.
The only remaining corrective action being taken with a 0x11 status was
then the write back to the status register to clear the error, i.e.
DMASTATUS = DMASTATUS & ~3. This would have the effect of clearing the
error bit 4, while leaving the lower bits indicating DMA write busy.
Strangely enough, removing this write to the status register solved the
problem! If the DMA ERROR IRQ with DMASTATUS=0x11 is completely
ignored, with no corrective action at all, then the card will complete
the transfer and issue a new IRQ. If the status register is written to
when it has the value 0x11, then the DMA engine hangs. Perhaps it's
illegal to write to
DMASTATUS while the read or write busy bit is set? At any rate, it
appears that the current corrective action is indeed making things
worse rather than better.
I put together a patch that modifies ivtv_irq_dma_err to do the
following:
- Don't write back to IVTV_REG_DMASTATUS.
- If write-busy is asserted, leave the card alone. Just extend the
timeout slightly.
- If write-busy is de-asserted, retry the current transfer.
This has completely fixed my DMA TIMEOUT woes. DMA ERR events still
occur, but now they seem to be correctly handled. 0x11 events no
longer hang the card, and 0x13 events no longer result in a glitch in
the stream, as the failed transfer is retried. I'm happy.
I've inlined the patch below in case it is of interest. As described
above, I have a theory about why it works (based on a different
interpretation of bit 1 of DMASTATUS), but I can't guarantee that my
theory is correct. There may be another explanation, or it may be a
fluke. Maybe ignoring that IRQ entirely would be equally effective?
Maybe the status register read/writeback sequence is race condition if
the card changes it in the mean time? Also as I am using a PVR-150
only, I have not been able to test it on other cards, which may be
especially relevant for 350s that support concurrent decoding.
Hopefully the patch does not break the DMA READ path.
Mike
[awalls@md.metrocast.net: Modified patch to add a verbose comment, make minor
brace reformats, and clear the error flags in the IVTV_REG_DMASTATUS iff both
read and write DMA were not in progress. Mike's conjecture about a race
condition with the writeback is correct; it can confuse the DMA engine.]

With the CX23885 hardware I2C master, checking for I2C slave ACK/NAK

The streamzap driver has relatively low sampling resolution, and any
delays in reporting events seem to cause some minor problems for the
likes of irw when using the lirc bridge driver, resulting in a single
keypress registering as multiple independent ones, rather than as a
single press with repeats. If we call ir_raw_event_handle() more
frequently and reset the rawir kfifo at end-of-signal, the behavior
improves quite a bit.

Add the same "are you ready?" i2c_master_send() poll command to
get_key_haup_xvr found in lirc_zilog, which is apparently seen in
the Windows driver for the PVR-150 w/a z8. This stabilizes what is
received from both the HD-PVR and HVR-1950, even with their polling
intervals at the default of 100, thus the removal of the custom
260ms polling_interval in pvrusb2-i2c-core.c.

Both the HD-PVR and HVR-1950, driven by the hdpvr and pvrusb2 drivers
respectively, have a zilog z8 chip exposed via i2c. These are both
usb-connected devices, and on both of them, back-to-back i2c_master_send
calls that work fine with a z8 on a pci card fail with a -EIO, as the
chip isn't yet ready from the prior command. To cope with that, add a
delay and retry loop where necessary.

Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.
