[PATCH v4 1/2] of: Rename "poweroff-source" property to "system-power-controller"

[Romain Perier]

Hi,

Who should merge this serie ? as Mark merged the previous one it would
probably make sense to do the same here (at least, in my opinion)

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Have a nice day,
Romain

Now this is a bit of a mess.

There's a commit in the mfd tree, 25f833c1171d ("mfd: tps65910: Convert
ti,system-power-controller DT property to poweroff-source"), which
breaks all dts using tps65910 since these are never updated to the now
retracted property name ("poweroff-source").

This one should simply be reverted ASAP.

Romain, what tree is this patch against? The changes to the tps65910
driver appears not to even be in the regulator tree, yet you asked Mark
to merge this. And the MFD maintainer is not even on CC.

Let's fix the breakage by reverting the offending commit in mfd. Then the
new standard name can be introduced in regulator alone (e.g. this patch
without the tps65910 bits) as nothing outside of regulator should be
using the new power-off feature (or binding) for act8865. Then other
drivers and dts can be converted to use the new property name (while
retaining backwards compatibility) for 3.20.

[ We should probably also consider adding an "of_device_is_" prefix to
the helper name for consistency. ]

[PATCH] Revert "mfd: tps65910: Convert ti, system-power-controller DT property to poweroff-source"

[Johan Hovold]

This reverts commit 25f833c1171d ("mfd: tps65910: Convert
ti,system-power-controller DT property to poweroff-source"), which
switched to a new device-tree property name for configuring the device
as a power-off controller, but failed to update the affected device-tree
sources and neither provided backward compatibility with the old
property name.

This fixes broken power-off functionality for all boards relying on
tps65910 to power off the system.

I work with linux-next, this patch is present in that tree. If I
remember correctly, it was merged by Lee Jones (so it was merged onto
the mfd tree)

It was done, for a previous serie, not this one . This is  when I
proposed to update the dts too (for all boards using the custom
property) until the discussion turned into a troll.

My word!

Romain, what conversation on the MLs are you talking about?

No need to revert, I can just remove the patch from the MFD tree.

I think Romain is referring to this thread:

Ok, good. Then this is limited to the regulator tree, and we could
proceed as I outlined below.

Romain, care to resend this patch without the tps65910 chunks?

You should also fix the commit message, which claims to define a "helper
function which is compatible with both properties", something which was
no longer the case.

Yes, this is this one.

If you can just drop the patch from mfd tree Lee, please do.
Yes Johan, np, what I want is that we find a smart solution, nothing more.

So I need to resend this patch which would only introduce an helper
function which checks for "system-power-controller" property (it would
also have a new commit message).
As you suggested, this helper might be named
"of_device_is_system_power_controller" ?

Everything is okay ?

I mean, the backward compatibility can be handled directly from the
device driver which would use the new property, no ?

yep, that is what Grant asked for ... to have drivers that need backward-
compatibility (like with the "ti,"-prefix) to do this themselfs.

Correct. Rename the helper and property name you introduced to
"of_device_is_system_power_controller" and "system-power-controller" and
update the act8865 driver to use the new names (all in one patch).

Send the patch to Mark (and keep everyone else one CC) so he can apply
it to the regulator tree.

Other drivers that are currently using "ti,system-power-controller" can
continue to do so (for backward compatibility), while we later also add
a call to your helper function (and update binding documentation) and
also update the device trees for boards that use this functionality.

Thanks,
Johan
