[PATCH 0/5] Add TI LM51772 buck-boost voltage regulator

[PATCH 0/5] Add TI LM51772 buck-boost voltage regulator

[Paul Louvel]

Hi,

This series provides support for the LM51772, a buck-boost controller
from TI with I2C control, designed for USB Power Delivery applications.
The output voltage is software-configurable from 1 V to 48 V, and the
peak current limit threshold is programmed through software. The
LM51772 also provides an auxiliary fixed 5 V regulator output (VCC1).

Core changes
------------

Patch #3:

Some context for this patch: I am working on a board featuring the
PTN5110. This chip implements a Type-C Port Controller along with
other vendor-defined features. It can support up to two source power
rails for the source-only role in Power Delivery. One power rail is
used for vSafe5V, and the other is the so-called
"SourceVbusHighVoltage", providing voltages > 5 V. On my board, the
LM51772 provides this power path.

The PTN5110 driver is currently supported by the generic tcpci.c
implementation, but it had to be split out into a standalone module to
implement a custom set_vbus() callback. If a "HighVoltage" has been
negotiated between the source and the sink, this callback is
responsible for enabling the regulator supplying such voltages.

In short, the callback looks like this (my kernel changes related to
the functionality above are not upstream yet):

static int ptn5110_tcpc_set_vbus(struct tcpci *tcpci, struct tcpci_data *data, bool source,
				 bool sink)
{
	struct ptn5110_priv *priv = container_of(data, struct ptn5110_priv, data);
	int ret;

	ret = regulator_is_enabled(priv->vbus_high);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

	if (ret && !source)
		return regulator_disable(priv->vbus_high);

	if (!ret && source)
		return regulator_enable(priv->vbus_high);

	return 0;
}

set_vbus() is called when the port is registered, at boot time, with
source=false and sink=false. Call trace:

    ptn5110_tcpc_set_vbus
    tcpci_set_vbus
    tcpm_reset_port
    tcpm_init
    tcpm_register_port
    tcpci_register_port
    ptn5110_tcpc_probe
    i2c_device_probe
    really_probe
    __driver_probe_device
    driver_probe_device
    __device_attach_driver
    bus_for_each_drv
    ...

The LM51772 output stage is enabled by default because the CONV_EN2
bit is set. Thus, regulator_is_enabled() returns true, and
regulator_disable() is then called, leading to an unbalanced disable.

My idea is to add a new device tree property,
"regulator-boot-force-off", to disable the regulator immediately when
it is registered with the regulator core, regardless of its previous
state.

Patch #4:

To avoid code duplication when setting and getting the voltage
selector, introduces a new vsel_reg_oversize member in
struct regulator_desc. The LM51772 stores the voltage selector across
two 8-bit registers: one for the least significant bits and one for
the most significant bits.

[PATCH 1/5] regulator: dt-bindings: Add regulator-boot-force-off property

[Paul Louvel]

Introduce a new property to immediately disable the regulator at boot
time.
This property is useful when a consumer device may query the state of
the regulator at boot time, and want to disable it right away, without a
prior regulator_enable().

To be honest, I'm not sure how the commentary about querying the state
or being unbalanced is relevant to the description - that sounds like
something specific to the linux regulator framework?

In fact, I'm not sure why this is needed at all? Can't you just change
the software so that it is okay to disable a regulator that has an
explicit enable count of zero?

Yes it is. Maybe I miss something, does this binding is used outside linux ?

Do you mean by calling regulator_force_disable() instead ? I thinked about that
but I don't think this is ideal.
Or just patch the core to allow unbalanced disable downstream ?
My intent was to provide an upstream solution to the problem I described in the
cover letter.

Cover letter does not end up in Git history often, so this patch needs
rationale. Honestly this looks like duplicating regulator-boot-on
property in a reversed way, while also focusing on Linux implementation.
And even when considering Linux implementation, the unused regulators
ARE turned off, thus there is no need to force them off.

Krzysztof

[Severity: Medium]
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml,
ti,active-discharge-strength-milliamp, ti,sense-res-milliohm, and
ti,ivp-thres-millivolt use -milliamp, -milliohm, and -millivolt suffixes
with an explicit uint32 type reference.

When running make dt_binding_check, dtschema meta-schemas/vendor-props.yaml
rejects new vendor properties that use deprecated or non-standard unit
suffixes instead of standard suffixes from property-units.yaml (-microamp,
-micro-ohms, and -microvolt, which also provide the uint32 type
automatically).

Could ti,active-discharge-strength-milliamp and ti,ivp-thres-millivolt use
the standard -microamp and -microvolt suffixes, and could
ti,sense-res-milliohm use the standard shunt-resistor-micro-ohms property?

[Severity: Low]
Under properties:regulators:properties:vout in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml, both
regulator-min-microamp and regulator-max-microamp set maximum to 70000000
(70 amperes), whereas the description at the top of the file states that
the peak current limit threshold is programmable between 0.5A to 7A.

Should maximum on regulator-min-microamp and regulator-max-microamp be
7000000 instead of 70000000 so that invalid current limits above 7 amperes
do not pass schema validation?

[Severity: Medium]
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml,
properties:regulators is defined with type: object and child properties
vout and vcc1, but the regulators object itself does not specify
additionalProperties: false.

Without additionalProperties: false on properties:regulators, running make
dt_binding_check fails meta-schema validation and undocumented child nodes
under regulators silently pass validation. Should additionalProperties: false
be added to the regulators object?

[Severity: Medium]
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml, the oneOf
constraints on properties:ti,ivp-thres-millivolt cover 4750 to 23250 in
steps of 125 and 23750 to 50000 in steps of 250, which leaves a gap at
23500.

In drivers/regulator/lm51772-regulator.c (from commit "regulator: Add TI
LM51772 support"), lm51772_of_parse() defines the hardware linear ranges
as:

  LINEAR_RANGE(4750000, 0x00, 0x94, 125000),
  LINEAR_RANGE(23500000, 0x95, 0xff, 250000)

where selector 0x94 is 23250 millivolts and selector 0x95 is 23500
millivolts. Should the minimum of the second oneOf branch be 23500 (or
23500000 microvolts) so that the valid 23.5 volt threshold is not rejected
by schema validation?

[Severity: Medium]
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml, the boolean
properties ti,iset-pin, ti,ivp, ti,ivr, ti,nint, and
ti,cable-drop-compensation all specify default: false alongside
type: boolean.

Because dtschema meta-schemas/boolean.yaml sets additionalProperties: false
and does not allow the default keyword on boolean flag properties, running
make dt_binding_check fails validation on these five properties. Should the
default: false lines be removed from ti,iset-pin, ti,ivp, ti,ivr, ti,nint,
and ti,cable-drop-compensation?

[Severity: Low]
In the examples section of
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/ti,lm51772.yaml, the vout and
vcc1 child nodes under regulators are indented by 2 spaces instead of 4
spaces relative to regulators, and the child nodes and regulator-*
properties are not in canonical sort order.

Running scripts/dtc/dt-check-style --mode=strict reports indent-consistent,
child-name-order, and property-order warnings here. Could the example node
indentation and ordering be aligned with dt-check-style?

[PATCH 3/5] regulator: core: Add mechanism to force disable a regulator at boot

[Paul Louvel]

Regulation activity may be enabled by default when the device powers up.
A consumer may query the regulator's state during probe and may disable
it if it is already enabled, potentially resulting in an unbalanced
disable operation:

ret = regulator_is_enabled();
if (ret < 0)
  return ret;

if (ret)
  ret = regulator_disable();
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Add the 'regulator-boot-force-off' property, which disable the regulator
when setting machine constraints.

- [High] regulator: core: missing mutual exclusion for boot_force_off in set_machine_constraints()
- [High] regulator: core: boot_force_off is a no-op for GPIO-controlled regulators
- [Medium] regulator: core: boot_force_off works around consumer API misuse

[Severity: High]
Does boot_force_off work for regulators that use an enable gpio
(rdev->ena_pin)?

During regulator_register(), rdev is zero-allocated and
regulator_ena_gpio_request() attaches rdev->ena_pin without setting
rdev->ena_gpio_state. When regulator_register() -> set_machine_constraints()
calls _regulator_do_disable(rdev) for boot_force_off (with always_on and
boot_on unset), rdev->ena_gpio_state is still 0.

In _regulator_do_disable(), when rdev->ena_pin is present and
rdev->ena_gpio_state is 0, the code skips regulator_ena_gpio_ctrl(rdev, false)
and also skips the else-if branch for rdev->desc->ops->disable(rdev).

Won't this leave gpio-controlled regulators enabled in hardware at boot?

[Severity: High]
What happens in set_machine_constraints() if boot_force_off is set together
with always_on or boot_on?

Neither of_get_regulation_constraints() nor set_machine_constraints() prevents
boot_force_off from being active at the same time as always_on or boot_on
(including when set_machine_constraints() implicitly sets
rdev->constraints->always_on = true when !rdev->ena_pin && !ops->enable).

Right before this boot_force_off check, set_machine_constraints() handles
always_on and boot_on:

drivers/regulator/core.c:set_machine_constraints() {
	if (rdev->constraints->always_on || rdev->constraints->boot_on) {
		...
		if (rdev->supply &&
		    (rdev->constraints->always_on ||
		     !regulator_is_enabled(rdev->supply))) {
			ret = (is_locked
			       ? _regulator_enable(rdev->supply)
			       : regulator_enable(rdev->supply));
			...
			supply_enabled = true;
		}

		ret = _regulator_do_enable(rdev);
		...
		if (rdev->constraints->always_on)
			rdev->use_count++;
	}
}

Because boot_force_off is checked in a separate conditional afterwards,
set_machine_constraints() will enable rdev->supply and rdev, and then
immediately call _regulator_do_disable(rdev).

If _regulator_do_disable(rdev) fails after rdev->supply was enabled,
set_machine_constraints() returns the error without disabling rdev->supply,
and regulator_register() jumps to the wash cleanup path:

drivers/regulator/core.c:regulator_register() {
wash:
	regulator_put(rdev->supply);
}

which triggers the warning in _regulator_put() and leaks the supply enable
count:

drivers/regulator/core.c:_regulator_put() {
	/* Docs say you must disable before calling regulator_put() */
	WARN_ON(regulator->enable_count);
}

And if _regulator_do_disable(rdev) succeeds when always_on or boot_on is set,
the hardware output is disabled while rdev->use_count remains 1 (for
always_on, preventing subsequent regulator_enable() calls from re-enabling the
hardware) and rdev->supply remains enabled with an unbalanced enable_count.

Should boot_force_off be mutually exclusive with always_on and boot_on?

[Severity: Medium]
Is a new device tree property the right way to handle consumers that want to
disable a boot-enabled regulator during probe?

In the regulator framework, regulator_enable() and regulator_disable() calls
on a standard consumer handle must be balanced because regulator_get()
initializes regulator->enable_count to 0 regardless of hardware state.

For consumers that have exclusive control of a supply and need to turn off a
regulator that was left enabled at boot without a prior regulator_enable(),
regulator_get_exclusive() already syncs use_count and enable_count with the
hardware state in _regulator_get_common():

drivers/regulator/core.c:_regulator_get_common() {
	if (get_type == EXCLUSIVE_GET) {
		rdev->exclusive = 1;

		ret = _regulator_is_enabled(rdev);
		if (ret > 0) {
			rdev->use_count = 1;
			regulator->enable_count = 1;
}

Could the affected consumer driver use regulator_get_exclusive() (or
devm_regulator_get_exclusive()) instead of adding regulator-boot-force-off to
device tree?

[Severity: Low]
Struct regulation_constraints in include/linux/regulator/machine.h has a
kernel-doc comment block above the definition describing its fields. Should an
@boot_force_off entry be added there as well to avoid a kernel-doc warning?

Yes, any idea why there is a state instead of turning off the gpio instead ?

Yes probably.
What was on my mind mind is that the boot_force_off property has higher
priority. But this is not documented / I don't know if it is an acceptable
behavior.

[PATCH 4/5] regulator: Support regulators where the voltage selector spans two registers

[Paul Louvel]

Some devices uses 8-bit registers to store the voltage selector across
two registers: one for the least significant bits and one for the most
significant bits.

Introduce vsel_reg_oversize to support voltage selectors that span two
registers. Write the selector in bulk across both registers using
little-endian encoding.

Assume that future hardware will require at most one additional register
to store the voltage selector, and that only a device with 8-bit
register will require such flag.

regulator: Support regulators where the voltage selector spans two registers

This commit adds the vsel_reg_oversize flag to struct regulator_desc to
support regulators whose voltage selector spans two consecutive 8-bit
registers in little-endian order. It updates the regmap voltage selector
helpers to read and write the two-register selector using regmap bulk
operations.

[Severity: High]
When rdev->desc->vsel_reg_oversize is enabled and rdev->desc->vsel_mask does
not span all 16 bits of the two 8-bit registers, will
set_oversize_voltage_sel() clobber the bits outside vsel_mask in vsel_reg and
vsel_reg + 1?

In get_voltage_sel_reg(), the 16-bit value read across the two registers is
masked and shifted with rdev->desc->vsel_mask, and callers such as
regulator_set_voltage_sel_regmap() shift sel into position before calling
set_oversize_voltage_sel():

drivers/regulator/helpers.c:regulator_set_voltage_sel_regmap() {
	sel <<= ffs(rdev->desc->vsel_mask) - 1;

	if (rdev->desc->vsel_reg_oversize)
		ret = set_oversize_voltage_sel(rdev, sel);
	else
		ret = regmap_update_bits(rdev->regmap, rdev->desc->vsel_reg,
					 rdev->desc->vsel_mask, sel);
}

Unlike the regmap_update_bits() path, set_oversize_voltage_sel() writes the
16-bit value directly with regmap_bulk_write() without reading the current
register values and preserving bits outside rdev->desc->vsel_mask, which will
overwrite any other control or reserved bits in those two registers with
zeroes.

In addition, how does vsel_reg_oversize interact with
regulator_set_voltage_sel_pickable_regmap()?

If vsel_range_reg is vsel_reg + 1 (sharing the second register with the upper
bits of the voltage selector), write_separate_vsel_and_range() first updates
vsel_range_reg via regmap_update_bits_base() and then calls
set_oversize_voltage_sel(), which bulk-writes two bytes starting at vsel_reg
and overwrites the range bits just written to vsel_reg + 1.

Furthermore, if vsel_range_reg equals vsel_reg in
regulator_set_voltage_sel_pickable_regmap():

drivers/regulator/helpers.c:regulator_set_voltage_sel_pickable_regmap() {
    ...
	if (rdev->desc->vsel_reg == rdev->desc->vsel_range_reg)
		ret = regmap_update_bits(rdev->regmap, rdev->desc->vsel_reg,
					 rdev->desc->vsel_range_mask |
					 rdev->desc->vsel_mask, sel | range);
	else
		ret = write_separate_vsel_and_range(rdev, sel, range);
    ...
}

won't this take the single-register regmap_update_bits() branch and drop the
upper byte of the oversized selector?

It is true that I could instead use two regmap_update_bits() calls to update the
two registers separately, respecting the vsel_mask and maybe avoiding writing
zeroes into reserved bits. For the LM51772, writing to unimplemented bits has no
effect.

For the moment, there is no such device that has vsel_reg_oversize set and
vsel_range_reg equal to vsel_reg. I don't think that case is worth considering
right now.

What did I do to make Sashiko speak Japanese?! :)

regulator: Add TI LM51772 support

This commit adds an I2C regulator driver for the TI LM51772 buck-boost
controller, supporting a configurable buck-boost output and a fixed 5 V LDO
output with voltage setting, current limiting, and fault reporting.

[Severity: High]
Should lm51772_set_conv_en() and lm51772_get_conv_en() access
LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D1 instead of LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D0 for
LM51772_CONV_EN?

LM51772_CONV_EN is defined under the MFR_SPECIFIC_D1 bit definitions, and in
lm51772_reg_defaults, LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D1 has a default value of
0x09 (bit 0 set) while LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D0 defaults to 0x32 (bit 0
clear).

When lm51772_regulator_enable(), lm51772_regulator_disable(), or
lm51772_regulator_is_enabled() is called on the vout regulator, updating and
reading LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D0 leaves LM51772_CONV_EN set in
LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D1, preventing the converter from being disabled in
hardware while modifying bit 0 of LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D0.

[Severity: High]
When decreasing the output voltage in lm51772_regulator_set_voltage_sel()
while priv->ovp_thres is set, can calling lm51772_set_ov() before
regulator_set_voltage_sel_pickable_regmap() trip a false over-voltage
protection fault because VOUT is still at the higher voltage when the lower
OVP threshold is written to LM51772_REG_MFR_SPECIFIC_D5?

Also, in lm51772_set_ov(), ovp_ranges[0] ends at 15500000 uV (selector 0x17)
and ovp_ranges[1] starts at 16000000 uV (selector 0x18), up to 55000000 uV
(selector 0x3f). If ret + priv->ovp_thres falls between 15500001 uV and
15999999 uV, or exceeds 55000000 uV, linear_range_get_selector_low_array()
sets found to false and lm51772_set_ov() returns -EINVAL, causing the
voltage change to fail.

[Severity: Medium]
Will dividing u64 values with the plain / operator in
lm51772_regulator_set_current_limit() cause a link failure (__udivdi3 /
__aeabi_uldivmod undefined) when building on 32-bit architectures? Should
this use div_u64() instead?

[Severity: Medium]
What happens in lm51772_regulator_set_current_limit() if the truncated
register value ilim_reg corresponds to a current limit strictly below
min_uA? Because min_uA is not checked, can this program a hardware current
limit lower than the minimum requested by the caller instead of returning
-EINVAL?

[Severity: Medium]
In lm51772_irq_map_event(), what happens when more than one fault bit is set
in LM51772_REG_STATUS_BYTE at the same time?

lm51772_status2err() ORs multiple REGULATOR_ERROR_* flags together, so
rid->states[i].errors can have multiple bits set. However,
regulator_err2notif() in include/linux/regulator/driver.h is a switch
statement over single-bit REGULATOR_ERROR_* constants and returns 0 when
passed a multi-bit mask, which drops the corresponding REGULATOR_EVENT_*
notifications.

[Severity: High]
Does regmap_read(regmap, LM51772_REG_CLEAR_FAULTS, &reg) in
lm51772_irq_renable() actually reach the hardware over I2C?

Because lm51772_regmap_config enables REGCACHE_MAPLE, seeds
LM51772_REG_CLEAR_FAULTS in lm51772_reg_defaults, and omits
LM51772_REG_CLEAR_FAULTS from lm51772_volatile_ranges, regmap_read() returns
the cached 0x00 value without performing an I2C bus transaction. As a
result, latched faults in LM51772_REG_STATUS_BYTE are never cleared and
lm51772_irq_renable() will keep returning REGULATOR_ERROR_ON.

Also, in lm51772_irq_renable(), if an additional fault bit becomes set in
LM51772_REG_STATUS_BYTE so that reg is non-zero but no longer equal to
rid->opaque, won't the (rid->opaque && rid->opaque == reg) check evaluate to
false and return REGULATOR_ERROR_CLEARED while faults are still active?

LM51772_CONV_EN bit is in MFT_SPECIFIC_D0. I put it under the wrong comment

True. Then, shall I wait until the voltage settle ? Because even if I did it
after setting the voltage, vout might still be above the new ovp threshold for a
short time.

This is just sloppy programming on my part. In the first place, there is no need
for u64 integer, and the sense resistor should not exceed 10 mOhms.
Also min_uA is completely ignored which is indeed not right.

True. I don't know why, but I was convinced that it converted multiple errors.
Better reading what I use next time!

<linux/i2c.h> already provides both of_device_id and i2c_device_id.
<linux/mod_devicetable.h> provides a plethora of more device_id structs
and thus implies a lot more build dependencies. So please drop the
latter.
