Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] sy7636a: power the panel only during updates
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 20:52:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112205228.42630-1-pmazzini@gmail.com> (raw)

The SY7636A hwmon driver keeps VCOM on from probe, so a display driver
can not power the panel only during updates.

Read the temperature only while the rails are on instead.

This is based on regulator for-7.5, which has the rest of the series.
Patch 1 depends on "regulator: sy7636a: bind to the I2C device directly"
there.

Tested on a PocketBook Verse (B288).

v4:
- drop the patches applied by Mark and Guenter
- patch 1: keep the hwmon name (Guenter)

v3:
- drop the applied patches 1-3
- new patch: no wait when power good is already high (Mark)
- move the I2C binding before the hwmon read change, so the hwmon driver
  only probes once vin is on (Andreas)
- explain in a comment why power good gates the read, and its
  limitation (Guenter, Andreas)

v2:
- drop the DT patch keeping VCOM always-on (Andreas)
- only wait for power good, VCOM_EN stays as it was (Andreas)
- new patch: fix negative temperatures
- keep the temperature in drivers/hwmon as an auxiliary driver of the
  regulator, instead of moving it into the regulator driver (Guenter,
  Andreas)
- no VCOM enable at probe, which also removes the probe race
- read power good and the temperature in one transfer (Andreas)
