[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: net: can: m_can: Add Documentation for stb-gpios

[Faiz Abbas]

The CAN transceiver on some boards has an STB pin which is
used to control its standby mode. Add an optional property
stb-gpios to toggle the same.

The m_can.txt is for the m_can framework.  If this is specific to the 
platform then it really does not belong here.

If the platform has specific nodes then maybe we need a 
m_can_platform.txt binding for specific platform nodes.  But I leave 
that decision to Rob.

Also I prefer you spell out standby like the gpios are spelled out in 
the tcan binding.

Since this is transceiver enable, should this not be in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/can/can-transceiver.txt?

The transceiver node is just a node without an associated device. I had
tried to convert it to a phy implementation but that idea got shot down
here:

Nodes and drivers are not a 1-1 thing. Is the transceiver a separate h/w 
device? If so, then it should be a separate node and properties of that 
device go in its node. Also, nothing is stopping you from using the PHY 
binding without using the kernel's PHY framework.

As to whether it should be a separate phy driver, I think probably the 
wrong decision was made. We always seem to start out with no PHY on 
these things and the complexity just grows until we need one.

The transceiver is indeed a separate device.

The phy framework seemed like the best code reuse to implement it.

We should be able to handle two properties (one max-datarate and the
other regulator node) for now. If we have to add more complex parts then
maybe we can think about the driver. I am just adding a xceiver
regulator for now.

[PATCH 2/3] can: m_can: m_can_platform: Add support for enabling transceiver through the STB line

[Faiz Abbas]

CAN transceivers on some boards have an STB (standby) line which can be
toggled to enable/disable the transceiver. Add support for enabling the
transceiver using a GPIO connected to the STB line.

What about adding support for xceiver-supply as done in several other
drivers (ti_hecc.c, flexcan.c, mcp251x.c)? And using this for the stb line?

Looks like you had given this feedback a long time ago and I forgot
about it. Sorry about that :-)

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1006238/

But now that I think about it, its kinda weird that we are modelling
part of the transceiver as a separate child node
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/can/can-transceiver.txt) and the
other parts as a regulator.

Anyone looking at the transceiver node would figure thats where the
enable gpio/regulator node needs to go instead of the parent node.
Shouldn't we have all transceiver properties under the same node?

Thanks,
Faiz

We need a regulator, as there are dual phy chips with a single enable line.

Feel free to add support for the regulator to the transceiver node and
convert the existing drivers to accept both bindings.
