Dear Linux Kernel administrators, Good Day.

We have urgent requirement to update driver link, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/pmbus/xdpe152c4.c<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/pmbus/xdpe152c4.c#L72>

Please help to review the attached Linux Kernel patch for xdpe152xx driver.

PEC Retry Functionality added for both read_word_data() & read_byte_data() cases of PMBUS.

Updated by : Yadav Ashish (PSS PCS RD FW HD) Ashish.Yadav@infineon.com<mailto:Ashish.Yadav@infineon.com>

Kindly leave your comment or give us approval for upstream.

Thanks a lot.

This is not the way to upstream from your side and get it reviewed by 
others.

please follow standard upstream process. Review others drivers the way 
it's uploaded first time and then raise new patch.

Basically correct, but v4.10 is quite old. May I recommend the latest
documentation?

To shorten things, you could return -EAGAIN as an error code, then the
I2C core will retry the message for you. Within the configured limits
for the controller.

The patch neglects to state the _reason_ for the change.

I'd like to know what causes the problem before applying a change like this.
I suspect that the chip needs either a delay between accesses or a delay
after a write. Both are supported by the PMBus core.

And this is a complete no-go:

+		pr_warn("PMBUS READ ERROR:%d\n", ret);

It isn't even dev_warn(), and I am not going to accept patches which will
clog the kernel log for every single error return. Just imagine how the
kernel log would look like if every driver would log errors like this.

[Ashish.Yadav]

Hi Guenter, Wolfram and Mukesh, 

I hope you are doing well.
Thanks for your suggestion/feedback. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
This patch is still in the testing phase and not the final one, that is why  " pr_warn()" is used for debug purposes. 

We will get back to you with the final patch with proper process as suggested by you. 

With Best Regards
   Ashish Yadav

Please provide an answer for:

There are various microcontroller based PMBus chips. Those microcontrollers
sometimes need a delay between accesses to work properly. That is why
access_delay, write_delay, and now page_change_delay are supported by the
PMBus core. It is at least somewhat likely that the xdpe152c4 has this
problem. The delay between retries in your code is an indication that some
delay between accesses may indeed be needed.

Another concern is the need for retry due to PEC errors. That would normally
be due to a bad board design, which is not chip dependent.

Long story short, so far not a single PMBus chip needs retries. It is very unlikely
that this chip is different. You'll have to provide substantially more details
for me to accept retries instead of access/write delays in the driver.

Thanks,
Guenter
