The Sony Cronos Platform Controller is a multi-purpose platform controller
that provides both a watchdog timer and an LED controller for the Sony
Interactive Entertainment Cronos x86 server platform. As both functions
are provided by the same CPLD, a multi-function device is exposed as the
parent of both functions.
Add a DT binding for this device.

Why do we have DT bindings for a x86 server platform?

This looks like an ARM device that connects to an x86 platform.
Note: The drivers look okay, but we need a DT Ack to merged them.

I dunno. The text talks about "this" being a cpld, so at best it would
have to be connected to an arm SoC that's on the x86 platform's board,
acting as a BMC or something similar.
Unless by "this" you don't mean the device in the binding, but rather
the platform that the device in the binding is connected to.
I've kept this in my mailbox for the last month, because I was wondering
the same thing as Rob, and there's been no engagement from the submitter
at all. I don't think that that should be rewarded by trying to give the
benefit of the doubt.

Apologies for the lack of response, I hadn't seen the initial Email.
As suspected, this patch set is required to enable the ARM-based BMC SoC on the custom x86 server platform. The peripherals in question are attached directly to the BMC, hence the need to have DT bindings for their drivers. The BMC runs the OpenBMC firmware stack, which does not accept downstream patches to the Linux kernel and thus the Linux kernel itself ends up as a gate for new BMC platform enablement.
Thank you!

Why is there a child node to just add timeout-sec? Didn't Krzysztof ask
you to come up with a generic node name for the mfd to use instead of
"smc", and to modify watchdog.yaml to accept the new node name? See
here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/c7630eb1-2686-491e-81ed-fb43fff2dd31@linaro.org/
Something like "platform-controller" sounds generic to me, in a way that
"smc" doesn't.

Conor.

When I tried Krzysztof's solution, the validation tools threw an error, and this was the only way I found to get them to stop throwing errors.

SMC is the name of the hardware block in question. platform-controller generates some other confusion as there would be multiple separate hardware blocks that could fit that name.

So you were not able to do what he did, and modify watchdog.yaml?
What did you try, and what were the errors?

Node names do not have to be unique. If there are 10 platform controllers
on the platform, then having 10 platform-controller@<foo> nodes would be
fine. We explicitly want node-names to describe the type of device, not
be a unique identifier. That's what compatible strings are for.
I'm unsure why there would be any confusion caused by the node name,
can you elaborate on that? What other devices connected to the BMC would
be considered "platform controllers"?
There's no explanation anywhere here where "smc" even comes from, none
of the description text or commit message has something that I would
expect "smc" to be shorthand for.

Understood. Let me rework. I'll see if I can provoke the error regarding the watchdog YAML again as well. It may be a couple of weeks before I respond as I have other active projects at this time.

The Sony Cronos Platform Controller is a multi-purpose platform controller
that provides both a watchdog timer and an LED controller for the Sony
Interactive Entertainment Cronos x86 server platform. As both functions
are provided by the same CPLD, a multi-function device is exposed as the
parent of both functions.

From: Timothy Pearson <tpearson@raptorengineering.com>
The Sony Cronos Platform Controller is a multi-purpose platform controller with
an integrated multi-channel RGB LED controller. The LED controller is a
pseudo-RGB device with only two states for each of the RGB subcomponents of
each LED, but is exposed as a full RGB device for ease of integration with
userspace software. Internal thresholding is used to convert the color values
to the required on/off RGB subcomponent controls.
