Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] regulator: sy7636a: bind to the I2C device directly
Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 22:31:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101223125.302001-7-pmazzini@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101223125.302001-1-pmazzini@gmail.com>
Bind the regulator to the chip directly, as the TPS65185 and FP9931
drivers do, and have it create an auxiliary device for the hwmon driver,
instead of simple-mfd-i2c creating a cell for each. Drop the MFD glue
and header. It now probes before the GPIOs may be ready, so report the
power good GPIO with dev_err_probe(). The hwmon driver then only
accesses the chip after vin-supply is enabled.

If you say yes here you get support for the thermistor readout of
the Silergy SY7636A PMIC.
