[PATCH 1/2] PM / OPP: compatible is an optional property

[PATCH 1/2] PM / OPP: compatible is an optional property

[Viresh Kumar]

It was never compulsory to have a compatible string in the OPP table.
Fix the documentation to mark it optional.

Also update its description a bit.

[PATCH 2/2] PM / OPP: Multiple regulators aren't supported yet

[Viresh Kumar]

Multiple regulators per device aren't supported yet by the kernel code
and the bindings provided in documentation aren't sufficient to handle
that case (as there is no way for kernel code to link multiple
voltage/current values to a power supply).

Remove them. These can be added later if required with appropriate
changes.

What do you mean? Because the supplies are in the cpu node?

Not just that. For example if two supplies are present in CPU node like:
ABC-supply and XYZ-supply. And the values present in OPP node are like:

               opp00 {
                       opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1700000000>;
                        /*                     ABC supply                XYZ        supply */
                       opp-microvolt = <1300000 1300000 1300000>, <1400000 1400000 1400000>;
                       opp-microamp = <70000>;
                       clock-latency-ns = <30>;
                       opp-suspend;
               };


Then the code can get regulators with those names (ABC and XYZ), but it can't
figure out which triplet in the "opp-microvolt" property belongs to which
supply.

I am working on some solution to that, but wanted to keep the entire series self
sufficient and so removing the leftovers first in this patch.

Why? I'd prefer the compatible string to be required so we know what
sort of node it is.

Okay, the code doesn't have any checks for it then and that needs to be fixed.

Just for my clarity, for platforms with special OPP bindings and so a different
compatible string like: "operating-points-v2-XYZ", should the compatible string
contain both "operating-points-v2" and the above one? It would be easier to
check for "operating-points-v2" in that case from core code.

Agreed.

Why? The kernel is not a DT validator.

That would imply operating-points-v2-XYZ has extra properties or is 
different in some way. If an OS only understanding operating-points-v2 
will work, then yes it should have both. If not, then no.

Hmm.. I thought it should be checking if it can parse those bindings or not.
What if someone adds compatible property as "foo" for OPP node? Should the OPP
code even try to parse it?

Well, in this case that can't be done fully, so we should have only the -xyz
one. Got it, thanks.
