The I2C controller transfers up to sixteen bytes per transaction and
page_impl.c already used that for sfp_send_data(), while sfp_read_reg()
asked for one byte and every caller looped. Reading a module therefore
cost one address phase per byte: 87 transactions when a module is
inserted, 52 for the sfp command, 36 for the vendor block in status.json.
sfp_read_block() replaces sfp_read_reg() and the callers that already
wanted a run of registers ask for it once: the vendor fields as three
16 byte pages, the diagnostics as one transfer, rate and encoding
together. That drops the three paths above to 8, 6 and 3 transactions,
and sfp_send_data() loses its copy of the transfer.
The vendor loops now run over 16..63 rather than 20..59 so the page base
is a multiple of sixteen and the index into the buffer is a single AND.
The four extra bytes at each end are read and discarded. The diagnostics
read asks for 16 bytes rather than the 15 it uses, because 16 is a width
the shipped firmware already exercises and 15 is not.
The device address, the bus selection and the start bit go into the
control register in one write now that the memory address is written
first, so a transfer touches that register once instead of three times.
The register reads take their result from the SFRs directly rather than
through the sfr_data mirror. The result is a bool and the destination is
sfp_buf, so a caller that cares about a failed transfer looks at the
return value instead of a flag.
Every caller gives up on the first failed read rather than carrying a
flag to the end, which is why the module read moved out of handle_sfp
into a function of its own. A module whose read fails is left marked as
absent, so the next poll retries it instead of configuring the SerDes
from bytes that never arrived.
BANK1 -194 bytes, BANK2 +382, common segment +44, xdata +15 for the
buffer, and one byte more of internal RAM free than before the series.
Built for all 25 machine definitions on sdcc 4.5.0; the tightest common
segment is 98 bytes free on SWTG024AS_V2_0, against 54 before this
series.
sfp_read_reg() sat in rtlplayground.c, so it occupied the common 16 KB
window that every bank shares, even though nothing outside the SFP paths
calls it. That window is the tightest resource in the image:
SWTG024AS_V2_0 and SWTG024AS_A_2_0_1_5C_1SFP had 54 bytes left in it.
rtl837x_pins.c is already in BANK2 and already holds the I2C bus helpers
this function calls, so the transfer belongs there. The function moves
verbatim and becomes __banked; the prototype in rtl837x_common.h says so,
which is what keeps the callers in BANK1 and BANK2 honest.
No behaviour change. The common segment gains 200 bytes on every machine:
159 to 359 free on SWTGW218AS, 54 to 254 on the two variants above.
BANK1 +6 bytes, BANK2 +336. Built on sdcc 4.5.0.
