Subject: drop "driver", bindings are about hardware.

It does not look like you tested the bindings, at least after quick
look. Please run `make dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).
Maybe you need to update your dtschema and yamllint.

You should have here someone responsible for hardware, not subsystem

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:

Yes, I'll drop "driver" at v2 updating.

Hi Krzysztof,
I checked the history of the drivers/hwmon/max31790.c and see Guenter 
Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> as an important maintainer. I saw many 
commits from him. So, I add him to maintainer list.

Hm, I don't remember what brought my attention to possible error. Maybe
I mistyped my template.

I expect many more properties of a fan controller. Resources (clocks,
PWMs, supplies) and FAN specific properties.

Look at recent commits and patches for similar type of a device.

Hi Krzysztof,

I'm creating a base binding document for the max31790 driver. I'm basing 
it on the drivers/hwmon/max31790.c. Currently, the max31790.c driver has 
not yet implemented other properties, such as clocks, fan-supply, pwms, 
etc. So I just introduced the "compatible" and "reg" properties.

In the near future, if any other properties are necessary, I think we 
will implement them in drivers/hwmon/max31790.c then update this binding 
document.

I look at other binding documents, I also see something similar. They 
just introduce the "compatible" and "reg" properties.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/adi,max31760.yaml 


https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/adt7475.yaml

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/adi,ad741x.yaml

This is only my view. It's a pleasure to hear your advice. Thanks!

Hi Krzysztof,

I checked on recent commits and found something of a similar type.

adi,max31760.yaml
         fan-controller@50 {
             reg = <0x50>;
             compatible = "adi,max31760";
         };

hpe,gxp-fan-ctrl.yaml
     fan-controller@1000c00 {
       compatible = "hpe,gxp-fan-ctrl";
       reg = <0x1000c00 0x200>, <0xd1000000 0xff>, <0x80200000 0x100000>;
       reg-names = "base", "pl", "fn2";
     };


adi,axi-fan-control.yaml
         axi_fan_control: axi-fan-control@80000000 {
             compatible = "adi,axi-fan-control-1.00.a";
             reg = <0x0 0x80000000 0x10000>;
             clocks = <&clk 71>;
             interrupts = <0 110 0>;
             pulses-per-revolution = <2>;
         };

I think "fan-controller" is a good node name. Do you think so?

Binding should be based on device (e.g. its datasheet), not the driver.

Please instead read:

Maybe these devices are similar, maybe not. This should not be excuse to
come with really incomplete binding.

Thank Krzysztof,
I'm reading the writing-bindings.rst and I got it for now. I'll make 
complete binding in patch v2.

I am very pleased to hear your comments.

[PATCH 2/3] hwmon: (max31790): Support config PWM output becomes TACH

[Chanh Nguyen]

PWMOUT pins on MAX31790 can be configured as a tachometer input pin by
setting bit[0] in the Configuration Register. When the bit[0] of a channel
is set, the PWMOUT pin becomes the tach input pin for the channel plus six.

This commit allows the kernel to set those pins when necessary if the
pwmout-pin-as-tach-input DT property exists.

Why is this split from original binding? This does not make much
sense... Add complete hardware description.

No vendor prefix, so generic property... but where is it defined?

Thank Krzysztof! It is not generic property, I'll add the vendor prefix.

I'll update the "pwmout-pin-as-tach-input" to 
"maxim,pwmout-pin-as-tach-input" at v2.

Later I checked your driver code and this explains a bit. However first
patch should explain that instead. The split is fine, but just lack of
rationale is confusing.

Except that you should really look into common properties and use them.
Or explain why do you need new property?

I'm also discussing with Rob Herring that on patch 3/3, I checked in the 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/fan-common.yaml. I found the 
tach-ch property, but it seems to define the tach channel used for the 
fan. It does not match my purpose. I want to configure the PWM-OUT pin 
to become a TACH-IN pin. I wonder if I can use the tach-ch property for 
my purpose.

Seems incomplete. For example, fan tachs have different number of 
pulses per revolution, don't you need to know that too? 

There's a common fan binding now (or pending). You should use that and 
this property won't be needed.

Per Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-hwmon:

What:           /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/fanY_pulses
Description:
                 Number of tachometer pulses per fan revolution.

                 Integer value, typically between 1 and 4.

                 RW

                 This value is a characteristic of the fan connected to the
                 device's input, so it has to be set in accordance with the fan
                 model.

                 Should only be created if the chip has a register to configure
                 the number of pulses. In the absence of such a register (and
                 thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses
                 per fan revolution.

We only expect the property (and attribute) to exist if the controller
supports it.

Hi Guenter and Rob,
Most general-purpose brushless DC fans produce two tachometer pulses per 
revolution. My fan devices also produce two tachometer pulses per 
revolution.

In max31790.c, I saw the formula that is used to calculate TACH Count 
Registers, which defines the pulses per revolution as 2

	#define RPM_TO_REG(rpm, sr)             ((60 * (sr) * 8192) / ((rpm) * 2))

Do you think we should support the pulses-per-revolution property in 
this case?

Thank Rob,

I checked in the 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/fan-common.yaml. I found the 
tach-ch property, but it seems define the tach channel used for fan.

   tach-ch:
     description:
       The tach channel used for the fan.

I would like to define a new vendor property to configure the PWM-OUT 
pin to become a TACH-IN pin. So I introduce the 
"maxim,pwmout-pin-as-tach-input" property. Please help me share your 
comments!

Hi Guenter and Rob,

I'm preparing for patch v2. I'm looking forward to hear your advice. 
Should I use the "tach-ch" property (a common fan property) or define 
new vendor property ("maxim,pwmout-pin-as-tach-input") for my purpose?

Thank you very much!
