[Moritz Fischer]

Fix

OF: /iio_hwmon: could not get #io-channel-cells for
/amba/adc@f8007100
OF: /iio_hwmon: could not get #io-channel-cells for
/amba/adc@f8007100
OF: /iio_hwmon: could not get #io-channel-cells for
/amba/adc@f8007100

by adding the #io-channel-cells property.

I think it will be good to the next step too.
It means also add iio-hwmon node too.

What do you think?

I hadn't put it in there since dts is supposed to describe hw,
but obviously putting the actual hwmon in there makes it more useful.

I can resubmit with the hwmon node in there.

I had one discussion about this with Grant in past and it is common
mistake. It is simplification of purpose of dts.

If you grep kernel tree you will see that others are using it too.
Also there is accepted binding for that that's why I can't see big
problem with it.

If the iio-hwmon binding had gone through review it would have been rejected.

Since this is an application specific binding I wouldn't put it in the
generic DT include file. It's a bit like adding a gpio-key binding for each
of the GPIOs just in case somebody wants to use it.

So is your suggestion to move the whole thing from .dtsi -> .dts?

Isn't it a time to deprecate it?

psci is system specific too.

IIRC this driver for zynq was written by ADI or with ADI help that's why
you know much better than I what's the correct configuration.

This targets PS IP which should be present in the hw all the time.
Not sure if for all configuration but I expect at least the part of it
is there all them time.

If binding is incorrect then please remove it with removing from all
dts/dtsi files which have this. The same is for of probe function in the
driver itself.
If this is not done then this is just +1 case.

If you still insist that we shouldn't do it then please at least extend
commit message and put there example how to wire it on zynq.

Thanks,
Michal

Well, it's ABI now and has to stay forever. Deprecating it makes only sense
if there is a replacement, which there is not. The iio-hwmon bridge has its
usecases it's just instantiating it via devicetree which is not so nice.

There is a IIO driver for the XADC, this driver has a userspace interface
that exposes the measurements provided by the hardware. Using the hwmon
bridge will expose the same information just through a hwmon interface.

One reason for using the iio-hwmon bridge is because you have a legacy
application that expects the a hwmon interface. But new applications that
want to access the XADC should really use the IIO interface if possible.

In my opinion instantiating the hwmon bridge by default will only cause
confusion. There are now redundant interfaces and users will wonder what is
the difference between the two. Is it the same data, is it different data?
Which is the preferred interface? Which one is 'better'?

The #io-channels-cells can go into the dtsi, that's a sensible thing to do.
The number of cells is part of the binding specification for the XADC and
wont change.

The hwmon bridge on the other hand I wouldn't put into any default
devicetree. In my opinion is should only used if and only if there are
legacy applications on a specific system that need to use the hwmon interface.

IMHO this should be covered by documentation. One paragraph in iio-hwmon
binding can have answers for this and it will be very clear what people
should use.
