[PATCH v2 0/2] hwmon: (pmbus/max20860a) Add driver for Analog Devices MAX20860A

[Pradhan, Sanman]

From: Sanman Pradhan <psanman@juniper.net>

Add PMBus hwmon driver and DT binding for the Analog Devices MAX20860A
step-down DC-DC switching regulator. The driver provides monitoring of
input/output voltage, output current, and temperature using linear data
format.

This is a monitoring-only driver. The device's hardware write-protection
(WRITE_PROTECT register = 0x20) is detected and respected automatically
by pmbus_core via pmbus_init_wp().

Tested on PTX platform with MAX20860A at i2c-195/0x23:
  - All sensors (vin, vout, iout, temp1, temp2) read correctly
  - Limit attributes correctly read-only (HW write-protect honored)
  - Clean dmesg (no probe errors)

Changes since v1:
  - DT binding: Added allOf regulator.yaml reference and unevaluatedProperties
  - DT binding: Added "maxim,max20860a" as alternative compatible
  - Driver: Added "maxim,max20860a" to of_device_id table
  - Driver: Removed redundant WRITE_PROTECT write from probe (pmbus_core
    handles it via pmbus_init_wp())

[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: hwmon: pmbus: Add Analog Devices MAX20860A

[Pradhan, Sanman]

From: Sanman Pradhan <psanman@juniper.net>

Add devicetree binding documentation for the Analog Devices MAX20860A
step-down DC-DC switching regulator with PMBus interface.

Both "adi,max20860a" and "maxim,max20860a" compatible strings are
supported. The MAX20860A was originally manufactured by Maxim Integrated,
now part of Analog Devices.

No, please delete this.
I don't remember what the policy that ADI use for things that used to be
maxim products, but just pick one compatible for this device. I have a
feeling they want adi to always be used in these cases.

And for future reference, please use fallback compatibles when dealing
with devices that have the same programming mode.

Yes, adi should be the prefix.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for Analog Devices MAX20860A
+Step-Down Switching Regulator with PMBus Interface.
+
+The MAX20860A is a fully integrated step-down DC-DC switching regulator.
+Through the PMBus interface, the device can monitor input/output voltages,
+output current and temperature.
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
+Documentation/hwmon/pmbus.rst for details on PMBus client drivers.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate
+the devices explicitly.
