[PATCH v4 0/2] regulator: act8945a: add regulator driver for the sub-device of ACT8945A MFD

[PATCH v4 0/2] regulator: act8945a: add regulator driver for the sub-device of ACT8945A MFD

[Wenyou Yang]

The ACT8945A is a Multi Function Device with the following subdevices:
 - Regulator
 - Charger

This patch set is to add regulator driver for ACT8945A.
It is based on the patch set:
	http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-January/402199.html

Changes in v4:
 - change the name "act8945a-pmic" to "act8945a-regulator"
   to align mfd subdevice's name.

Changes in v3:
 - use the core regulators_node and of_match implementation,
   remove the redundant code.
 - use the core dev_get_regmap(dev->parent) code, remove
   the redundant code.
 - change the regulator name to easily implement macro.
 - use a space after #define, not tabs.
 - add OF match table.

Changes in v2:
 - add more help information in Kconfig.
 - update the file header with short version license and author line.
 - remove unused structure, struct act8945a_pmic.
 - substitute of_property_read_bool() for of_get_property().
 - due to removing the member of stuct act8945a_dev, dev.
 - remove the unnecessary print out.
 - use module_platform_driver(), instead of subsys_initcall().
 - substitute MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") for MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2").
 - add Acked-by Rob Herring.

[PATCH v4 1/2] regulator: act8945a: add regulator driver for ACT8945A

[Wenyou Yang]

This patch adds new regulator driver to support ACT8945A MFD
chip's regulators.

The ACT8945A has three step-down DC/DC converters and four
low-dropout regulators.

This seems mostly OK but why do we have a compatible string here -
shouldn't the MFD be able to instantiate the regulator function without
needing this?

Because I got feedback from Javier for the act8945a-charger patches of this MFD series,
He said missing the OF match table will cause the module autoloading broken. 

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-January/398113.html

What do you think about it?

If then device is not being loaded from the DT (and it shouldn't be, the
device looks like it should be instantiated directly by the MFD as it
can't exist separately to that MFD) an OF table will do nothing.

Then he should remove the .of_compatible from the MFD cell definition.

Otherwise the MFD core will assign an of_node to this device in
mfd_add_device(), making the platform core to believe the device was
instantiated by OF. So an OF modalias uevent will be reported to load
the module and the OF table should be used for matching the device
with the driver.

IOW, the MFD and regulator driver have to agree on this. Either
everything should have OF or platform information, both work but
mixing these as it was on a previous version doesn't.

Best regards,
Javier

I tried it,

But if removed this .of_compatible, and reserved the OF table. 
the &pdev->dev->of_node is NULL, the driver fails to get the configuration value from DT, 

It seems the OF table still doesn't work. Where is wrong?

Could you help give some suggestion?

What we said is that you should remove both the mfd cell
.of_compatible field and the OF table. Of course removing one but
leaving the other is not correct.

I see, you mean that you are not able to lookup the
"active-semi,vsel-high" property.

I think the problem is with your DT binding. You have a PMIC dev node
with compatible "active-semi,act8945a" that has a child node with
compatible "active-semi,act8945a-regulator" which in turn has the
"regulators" node.

I believe what Mark says is that there shouldn't be a compatible and
node for the regulators IC since is part of the PMIC. IOW, you can't
have it as a standalone node in the DTS.

I would just remove the "active-semi,act8945a-regulator" node and make
"active-semi,vsel-high" a property of the "active-semi,act8945a" node.
That way you can remove the mfd cell .of_compatible and OF table in
the regulator driver and read the "active-semi,vsel-high" using the
platform device's parent of_node.

But it's better if you wait for Mark's opinions before re-spining your patches.

Best regards,
Javier

I am confused :)

No only this property,

The regulator init_datas are also not gotten from DT due to the &pdev->dev->of_node is NULL.

Like Javier says you should make your DT binding look like the DT
bindings for other MFDs and not use of_compatible.

To add to the confusion, the regulator part of the chip is actually
identical to act8865, so it could use the existing regulator driver /
compatible, except that it binds to the platform bus instead of i2c.

Thank you for your opinion.

But I think It is better to make it a separate driver, the driver is simpler.

Do I understand correctly that you are creating a new device driver for
the same logical device (regulator block)?

By duplicating the code you are not making kernel simpler. Maybe your
new driver will be simple but still this adds a NEW driver instead of
re-using existing code.
