The Cortina Systems Gemini reset controller is a simple
32bit register with self-deasserting reset lines. It is
accessed using regmap over syscon.
Acked-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de>
Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
---
Philipp: please merge this into the reset subsystem once
you're happy with it. Sorry for the back-and-forth. I will
deal with the ARM SoC DTS landing orthogonally.
ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Provide macros in a separate patch.
- Add Philipp's ACK.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Use the syscon node to probe the driver.
- Sebastian: when you're happy with this please ACK it so I
can merge it through ARM SoC. This is needed because of
the mess of #include <dt-bindings/*> from the DT bindings
that is then used all over the DTS files.
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Add an explicit GPL license statement.
- Move the reset controller to be identical to the sycon
node, no need to a separate child node for this.
- Drop unneeded struct device *dev pointer from state
container.
- Print error code on missing regmap.
- Use #define from the <dt-bindings/*> to indicate that we
always set the CPU1 reset line to 1 when writing the
resets.

This is a bit verbose. I'd remove it and shorten the last part to:

Choice. I'm one of those guys who think that the top-level COPYING file
in the kernel is by far enough of legalese. If you want, I can put in a license
of course.

OK

OK I have the new .h file that Rob asked for.

Goes away anyways when i fuse the syscon and reset controller
as Rob suggested.

It's always this thing whether to be in the camp that like drivers to announce
themselves or not, but I can do as you suggest if it's a strong preference.
The reason I want it is: deselect the driver from Kconfig, something stops
working. Compare the dmesg: they both look the same. You don't immediately
see that something is missing.
So some people think that it is time to go around in /sys, and then what
if it is a boot regression, like the system can't mount root without the
reset controller. (Yeah I know, the thing mounting root should select the
reset controller then, OK another bug we would have seen with this...)
And then all of a sudden there is a lot of debug time spent looking for this
fact that would be spotted in no time if the was a dev_info() about the
driver being probed.
But if you insist, I will remove it.
Yours,
Linus Walleij

Yes, please do. The implicit statement made by the Signed-off-by tag
refers to the "license indicated in the file", unfortunately.
