[PATCH v6 0/3] dt-bindings: mfd: twl: Add missing sub-nodes for TWL4030 & TWL603x

[Jihed Chaibi]

Update the main TI TWL-family binding to be self-contained and to fix
pre-existing validation errors.

v6 key changes:
  - (1/3) The binding file is updated with stricter rules for the
    twl4030-power node.
  - Added two new patches, (2/3) & (3/3); The beagleboard-xm & n900 DTS
    files are respectively corrected to comply with the new binding.

The complete dtbs_check for this binding is clean except for two
warnings originating from pre-existing bugs in the OMAP DTS files,
for which fixes have already been submitted separately [1][2].

---
Changes in v6:
  - Refactored the ti,twl4030-power compatible schema to be much stricter,
    removing obsolete board-specific compatibles (-n900, -beagleboard-xm),
    that were added in v5. The schema now only permits specific, valid
    fallback combinations.
  - This series presents two new patches (2/3) & (3/3), which update the
    affected DTS files by removing obsolete entries.
  - Enforced the presence of the compatible property on all relevant
    sub-nodes by adding 'required: - compatible', closing a key validation
    loophole.
  - Applied various formatting cleanups for readability and correctness.

Changes in v5:
  - Restructured the entire binding to define properties at the top
    level instead of if/then blocks, per maintainer feedback.
  - Added specific compatible enums for new child nodes instead of a
    generic 'compatible: true'.
  - Set 'unevaluatedProperties: false' for 'pwm' and 'pwmled' nodes to
    enforce strict validation.
  - Expanded 'power' node compatible enum to include all board-specific
    compatible strings (used in existing device trees, e.g. OMAP3-based
    boards) for more complete coverage.
  - Corrected the schema for the 'power' node compatible to properly
    handle single and fallback entries.

Changes in v4:
  - Reworked binding to be independent and bisectable per maintainer
    feedback by using 'additionalProperties: true' for child nodes.
  - Added board-specific compatibles to the 'power' node enum.
  - Added definitions for 'clocks' and 'clock-names' properties.
  - Renamed 'twl6030-usb' child node to 'usb-comparator' to match
    existing Device Tree usage (twl6030.dtsi).
  - Fixed some spelling/grammar erros in the description.

Changes in v3:
  - New patch to consolidate simple bindings (power, pwm) and add
    definitions for all child nodes to fix dtbs_check validation
    errors found in v2.

Changes in v2:
  - This patch is split from larger series [3] per maintainer feedback.
  - Added missing sub-node definitions, resolving dtbs_check errors.

[PATCH v6 1/3] dt-bindings: mfd: twl: Add missing sub-nodes for TWL4030 & TWL603x

[Jihed Chaibi]

Update the main TI TWL-family binding to be self-contained and to fix
pre-existing validation errors.

Following maintainer feedback, the simple power and PWM bindings are
now defined directly within this file, and their legacy .txt files
are removed.

To ensure future patches are bisectable, child nodes whose bindings
are in other patches (audio, keypad, usb, etc.) are now defined using
a flexible 'additionalProperties: true' pattern. This removes hard
dependencies between the MFD and subsystem bindings.

The complete dtbs_check for this binding is clean except for two
warnings originating from pre-existing bugs in the OMAP DTS files,
for which fixes have already been submitted separately [1][2].

-Texas Instruments TWL family (twl4030) reset and power management module
-
-The power management module inside the TWL family provides several facilities
-to control the power resources, including power scripts. For now, the
-binding only supports the complete shutdown of the system after poweroff.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : must be one of the following
-	"ti,twl4030-power"
-	"ti,twl4030-power-reset"
-	"ti,twl4030-power-idle"
-	"ti,twl4030-power-idle-osc-off"
-
-The use of ti,twl4030-power-reset is recommended at least on
-3530 that needs a special configuration for warm reset to work.
-
-When using ti,twl4030-power-idle, the TI recommended configuration
-for idle modes is loaded to the tlw4030 PMIC.
-
-When using ti,twl4030-power-idle-osc-off, the TI recommended
-configuration is used with the external oscillator being shut
-down during off-idle. Note that this does not work on all boards
-depending on how the external oscillator is wired.
-
-Optional properties:
-
-- ti,system-power-controller: This indicates that TWL4030 is the
-  power supply master of the system. With this flag, the chip will
-  initiate an ACTIVE-to-OFF or SLEEP-to-OFF transition when the
-  system poweroffs.
-
-- ti,use_poweroff: Deprecated name for ti,system-power-controller
-
-Example:
-&i2c1 {
-	clock-frequency = <2600000>;
-
-	twl: twl@48 {
-		reg = <0x48>;
-		interrupts = <7>; /* SYS_NIRQ cascaded to intc */

[PATCH v6 2/3] ARM: dts: omap3: beagle-xm: Correct obsolete TWL4030 power compatible

[Jihed Chaibi]

The "ti,twl4030-power-beagleboard-xm" compatible string is obsolete and
is not supported by any in-kernel driver. Currently, the kernel falls
back to the second entry, "ti,twl4030-power-idle-osc-off", to bind a
driver to this node.

Make this fallback explicit by removing the obsolete board-specific
compatible. This preserves the existing functionality while making the
DTS compliant with the new, stricter 'ti,twl.yaml' binding.

Acked-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@kernel.org>

for folding Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/ti,twl-pwm*.txt into
ti,twl.yaml.

I assume this will eventually go via Lee's mfd tree, I don't expect any
conflicts and from my side there is no need for a branch to merge this
back into my PWM tree.

Best regards
Uwe

hmm, twl6030/32 have no audio, but it is in the common part with no
false in the if: part

same here and in more places. So if we do not want this old stuff to be
that precise and just have dtbs_check clean and this nightmare of a
conversion finished, then it might be fine.
