Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] of: property: fw_devlink: Follow PWM nexus maps
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:41:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-fw-devlink-nexus-ready-v1-2-68fe1996e78a@toradex.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-fw-devlink-nexus-ready-v1-0-68fe1996e78a@toradex.com>
From: Ernest Van Hoecke <ernest.vanhoecke@toradex.com>
PWM consumers use of_parse_phandle_with_args_map() to resolve specifiers
through pwm-map properties. fw_devlink instead parses the pwms property as
a direct phandle reference, so it records the nexus node as the supplier
rather than the mapped PWM provider.
A nexus is a translation node, not the PWM provider, and need not be
populated as a device. The resulting fwnode link can therefore remain
unresolved and indefinitely defer the consumer while
device_links_check_suppliers() waits for the nexus.
Use the map-aware parser for pwms so fw_devlink resolves the same provider
as the PWM consumer API. Direct PWM references continue to work because the
map-aware parser returns the original provider when no pwm-map property is
present.
Add OF unittest coverage for mapped and direct PWM suppliers.
Fixes: e71e46a6f19c ("pwm: Add support for pwm nexus dt bindings")
