[RESEND][PATCH 0/2] Add spidev to the CFA-10049

[Maxime Ripard]

Hi everyone,

This patchset probes spidev on the SSP3 bus where on the CFA-10049 there is
a DAC.

It first adds the dt bindings for the spidev driver, and the proper node in
the CFA-10049 device tree file.

So, this isn't really something we should have in DT in this format -
the fact that we happen to control some device from userspace isn't a
generic property of the board really, we may end up changing our minds
on Linux too.  The most obvious thing for this seems to be to add the
specific devices to spidev as the OF bindings rather than just register
as some non-specific "spidev" so we can change our minds later about how
to handle the devices.  Not sure that's urgently tasteful but it does
mean we move the "we handle this in userspace" bit out of the .dts into
the kernel which seems better.

Ok, so I guess that leaves us with 2 choices here:
  * Declare the device in the dt as you would have with any other
    driver, with its own compatible string, and we add this compatible
    string to the spidev dt ids array. It allows to use the existing
    code and thus doesn't require any effort at all, but it will
    generate a lot of noise for the spidev driver, since all of us will
    need to add its compatible string to spidev.
  * Rework the spidev code so that it behaves mostly like i2c-dev, that
    is you have an instance of it for every device enumerated in the dt,
    regardless of wether it has a driver loaded or not. If the
    userspace opens the device file corresponding to a device already
    attached to a driver, you return EBUSY, and that's it. I guess it
    would be the cleaner solution, since you only select spidev in
    configuration, but it definitely requires way more development than
    the first one.

What's your views on this?
Did you have in mind another solution?

Thanks,
Maxime

Ok, so I guess that leaves us with 2 choices here:
  * Declare the device in the dt as you would have with any other
    driver, with its own compatible string, and we add this compatible
    string to the spidev dt ids array. It allows to use the existing
    code and thus doesn't require any effort at all, but it will
    generate a lot of noise for the spidev driver, since all of us will
    need to add its compatible string to spidev.
  * Rework the spidev code so that it behaves mostly like i2c-dev, that
    is you have an instance of it for every device enumerated in the dt,
    regardless of wether it has a driver loaded or not. If the
    userspace opens the device file corresponding to a device already
    attached to a driver, you return EBUSY, and that's it. I guess it
    would be the cleaner solution, since you only select spidev in
    configuration, but it definitely requires way more development than
    the first one.

What's your views on this?
Did you have in mind another solution?

Thanks,
Maxime

I think either solution is good, obviously Grant's more the expert here.
Adding the IDs is obviously simpler and doesn't preclude later doing the
i2c-dev style thing so short term I'd probably add the IDs to get things
going and punt on the difficult stuff for the time being but YMMV.
