Ok... so I haven't yet changed any of the pinctrl / mdio drivers yet,
but I'm liking this:

static inline struct regmap *
ocelot_regmap_from_resource(struct platform_device *pdev, unsigned int index,
                            const struct regmap_config *config)
{
        struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
        struct resource *res;
        u32 __iomem *regs;

        res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, index);
        if (res) {
                regs = devm_ioremap_resource(dev, res);
                if (IS_ERR(regs))
                        return ERR_CAST(regs);
                return devm_regmap_init_mmio(dev, regs, config);
        }

        /*
         * Fall back to using REG and getting the resource from the parent
         * device, which is possible in an MFD configuration
         */
        res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_REG, index);
        if (!res)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);

        return (dev_get_regmap(dev->parent, res->name));
}

So now there's no need for #if (CONFIG_MFD_OCELOT) - it can just remain
an inline helper function. And so long as ocelot_core_init does this:

static void ocelot_core_try_add_regmap(struct device *dev,
                                       const struct resource *res)
{
        if (!dev_get_regmap(dev, res->name)) {
                ocelot_spi_init_regmap(dev, res);
        }
}

static void ocelot_core_try_add_regmaps(struct device *dev,
                                        const struct mfd_cell *cell)
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < cell->num_resources; i++) {
                ocelot_core_try_add_regmap(dev, &cell->resources[i]);
        }
}

int ocelot_core_init(struct device *dev)
{
        int i, ndevs;

        ndevs = ARRAY_SIZE(vsc7512_devs);

        for (i = 0; i < ndevs; i++)
                ocelot_core_try_add_regmaps(dev, &vsc7512_devs[i]);

        return devm_mfd_add_devices(dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO, vsc7512_devs,
                                    ndevs, NULL, 0, NULL);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(ocelot_core_init, MFD_OCELOT);

we're good! (sorry about spaces / tabs... I have to up my mutt/vim/tmux
game still)


I like the enum / macro idea for cleanup, but I think that's a different
problem I can address. The main question I have now is this:

The ocelot_regmap_from_resource now has nothing to do with the ocelot
MFD system. It is generic. (If you listen carefully, you might hear me
cheering)

I can keep this in linux/mfd/ocelot.h, but is this actually something
that belongs elsewhere? platform? device? mfd-core?


And yes, I like the idea of changing the driver to
"ocelot_regmap_from_resource(pdev, GPIO, config);" from
"ocelot_regmap_from_resource(pdev, 0, config);"
