[PATCH v4 0/7] Add coupled regulators mechanism

[PATCH v4 0/7] Add coupled regulators mechanism

[Maciej Purski]

Hi all,

this patchset adds a new mechanism to the framework - regulators' coupling.

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires 
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between 
devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators. 

Algorithmicaly the problem was solved by: 
Inderpal Singh <inderpal.s@samsung.com>
Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>

The discussion on that subject can be found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/28

Therefore this patchset is an attempt to apply the idea to regulators core
as concluded in the discussion by Mark Brown and Doug Anderson.

This feature is required to enable support for generic CPUfreq 
and devfreq drivers for the mentioned boards. 

Note on the locking model:
When balancing voltage of a group of coupled regulators, we lock all
of them for the whole operation. When voltage of an individual regulator
is about to change, its suppliers are additionally locked.

The current assumption is that an uncoupled regulator is a special case
of a coupled one, so they should share a common voltage setting path.


Best regards,

	Maciej Purski

Changes in v4:
- make paths for coupled and uncoupled regulators common
- coupling descriptors are now always present in regulator_dev
- fail to probe if data inconsistency is detected
- retry to resolve coupling regultors in late init call
- rebase on top of linux-next 20180119
- fix commit messages
- split patches to make the patchset easier to review

Changes in v3:
- move dts parsing code to of_regulator.c, in order to the so,
  add a new commit in which of_regulator_find_by_node() is moved
  to of_regulator.c as well
- improve error messages
- move max_spread variable to constraints
- perform resolving of coupled regulators under a list mutex
- remove useless locking functions
- some minor refactorization
- improve commit messages

Changes in RFC v2:
- allow coupling n regulators (in fact up to constant value, now
  set to 10)
- change algorithm to be more readable
- introduce better locking
- add more comments
- split first patch into two
- update commit messages
- change sequence of the patches

[PATCH v4 1/7] regulator: core: Move of_find_regulator_by_node() to of_regulator.c

[Maciej Purski]

As of_find_regulator_by_node() is an of function it should be moved from
core.c to of_regulator.c. It provides better separation of device tree
functions from the core and allows other of_functions in of_regulator.c
to resolve device_node to regulator_dev. This will be useful for
implementation of parsing coupled regulators properties.

Declare of_find_regulator_by_node() function in internal.h as well as
regulator_class and dev_to_rdev(), as they are needed by
of_find_regulator_by_node().

Applied "regulator: core: Refactor regulator_list_voltage()" to the regulator tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   regulator: core: Refactor regulator_list_voltage()

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

[PATCH v4 4/7] regulator: core: Parse coupled regulators properties

[Maciej Purski]

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Add new structure "coupling_desc" to regulator_dev, which contains
pointers to all coupled regulators including the owner of the structure,
number of coupled regulators and counter of currently resolved
regulators.

Add of_functions to parse all data needed in regulator coupling.
Provide method to check DTS data consistency. Check if each coupled
regulator's max_spread is equal and if their lists of regulators match.

[PATCH v4 5/7] regulator: core: Resolve coupled regulators

[Maciej Purski]

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Fill coupling descriptor with data obtained from DTS using previously
defined of_functions. Fail to register a regulator, if some data
inconsistency occurs. If some coupled regulators are not yet registered,
don't fail to register, but try to resolve them in late init call.

Applied "regulator: core: Resolve coupled regulators" to the regulator tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   regulator: core: Resolve coupled regulators

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Fill coupling descriptor with data obtained from DTS using previously
defined of_functions. Fail to register a regulator, if some data
inconsistency occurs. If some coupled regulators are not yet registered,
don't fail to register, but try to resolve them in late init call.

[PATCH v4 6/7] regulator: core: Add voltage balancing mechanism

[Maciej Purski]

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Introduce new function regulator_balance_voltage(), which
keeps max_spread constraint fulfilled between a group of coupled
regulators. It should be called if a regulator changes its
voltage or after disabling or enabling. Disabled regulators should
follow changes of the enabled ones, but their consumers' demands
shouldn't be taken into account while calculating voltage of other
coupled regulators.

Find voltages, which are closest to suiting all the consumers' demands,
while fulfilling max_spread constraint, keeping the following rules:
- if one regulator is about to rise its voltage, rise others
  voltages in order to keep the max_spread
- if a regulator, which has caused rising other regulators, is
  lowered, lower other regulators if possible
- if one regulator is about to lower its voltage, but it hasn't caused
  rising other regulators, don't change its voltage if it breaks the
  max_spread

Change regulators' voltages step by step, keeping max_spread constraint
fulfilled all the time. Function regulator_get_optimal_voltage()
should find the best possible change for the regulator, which doesn't
break max_spread constraint. In function regulator_balance_voltage()
optimize number of steps by finding highest voltage difference on
each iteration.

If a regulator, which is about to change its voltage, is not coupled,
method regulator_get_optimal_voltage() should simply return the lowest
voltage fulfilling consumers' demands.

Coupling should be checked only if the system is in PM_SUSPEND_ON state.

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: Add voltage balancing mechanism

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Introduce new function regulator_balance_voltage(), which
keeps max_spread constraint fulfilled between a group of coupled
regulators. It should be called if a regulator changes its
voltage or after disabling or enabling. Disabled regulators should
follow changes of the enabled ones, but their consumers' demands
shouldn't be taken into account while calculating voltage of other
coupled regulators.

Find voltages, which are closest to suiting all the consumers' demands,
while fulfilling max_spread constraint, keeping the following rules:
- if one regulator is about to rise its voltage, rise others
  voltages in order to keep the max_spread
- if a regulator, which has caused rising other regulators, is
  lowered, lower other regulators if possible
- if one regulator is about to lower its voltage, but it hasn't caused
  rising other regulators, don't change its voltage if it breaks the
  max_spread

Change regulators' voltages step by step, keeping max_spread constraint
fulfilled all the time. Function regulator_get_optimal_voltage()
should find the best possible change for the regulator, which doesn't
break max_spread constraint. In function regulator_balance_voltage()
optimize number of steps by finding highest voltage difference on
each iteration.

If a regulator, which is about to change its voltage, is not coupled,
method regulator_get_optimal_voltage() should simply return the lowest
voltage fulfilling consumers' demands.

Coupling should be checked only if the system is in PM_SUSPEND_ON state.

Applied "regulator: core: Add voltage balancing mechanism" to the regulator tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   regulator: core: Add voltage balancing mechanism

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: Add voltage balancing mechanism

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Introduce new function regulator_balance_voltage(), which
keeps max_spread constraint fulfilled between a group of coupled
regulators. It should be called if a regulator changes its
voltage or after disabling or enabling. Disabled regulators should
follow changes of the enabled ones, but their consumers' demands
shouldn't be taken into account while calculating voltage of other
coupled regulators.

Find voltages, which are closest to suiting all the consumers' demands,
while fulfilling max_spread constraint, keeping the following rules:
- if one regulator is about to rise its voltage, rise others
  voltages in order to keep the max_spread
- if a regulator, which has caused rising other regulators, is
  lowered, lower other regulators if possible
- if one regulator is about to lower its voltage, but it hasn't caused
  rising other regulators, don't change its voltage if it breaks the
  max_spread

Change regulators' voltages step by step, keeping max_spread constraint
fulfilled all the time. Function regulator_get_optimal_voltage()
should find the best possible change for the regulator, which doesn't
break max_spread constraint. In function regulator_balance_voltage()
optimize number of steps by finding highest voltage difference on
each iteration.

If a regulator, which is about to change its voltage, is not coupled,
method regulator_get_optimal_voltage() should simply return the lowest
voltage fulfilling consumers' demands.

Coupling should be checked only if the system is in PM_SUSPEND_ON state.

[PATCH v4 7/7] regulator: core: Change voltage setting path

[Maciej Purski]

On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Uncoupled regulators should be a special case of coupled regulators, so
they should share a common voltage setting path. When enabling,
disabling or setting voltage of a coupled regulator, all coupled
regulators should be locked. Regulator's supplies should be locked, when
setting voltage of a single regulator. Enabling a coupled regulator or
setting its voltage should not be possible if some of its coupled
regulators, has not been registered.

Add function for locking coupled regulators. Extract a new function
regulator_set_voltage_rdev() from regulator_set_voltage_unlocked(),
which is called when setting voltage of a single regulator.

merge window so I'll hold off until after that for the majority of the
series, I'll apply some of the refactoring bits now.  I may have more
comments after another pass through but they shouldn't be too big I
think.

I've had another go through this and way about to apply but I've
realized that it needs a rebase against the latest regulator tree, the
changes for suspend states collide with the voltage change code.  Can
you rebase against my current -next please?  It's just the last patch
that has merge issues.  Sorry for the delay, this got buried as everyone
seems to have decided to send me 20+ patch serieses all of a sudden.
