Correct, but NUM_PROTOCOLS times less. NUM_PROTOCOLS is 3 upstream as of right now, but it's much higher in general (which will trickle upstream one day or another). > > This may make the software support harder, meaning we would either need to > have the same compatible probed in sequence from the i2c/spi/uart driver until > one matches the protocol, or have the qup driver spawn an auxiliary device. No, just read back the protocol id from hardware (if the SE is running), or from some DT property (if we need to load the FW ourselves). Then, based on that, we can call platform_device_register_data(dev, "geni_i2c", ...) (or similar) > Honestly, not sure it would be much simpler... Not sure if I'm happy to maintain NUM_QUPs * NUM_SEs * NUM_PROTOCOLS DT nodes, per each platform separately.. Konrad
