[PATCH 0/4] hwmon: add ti,ina237 support to ina238 driver

[Richard Leitner]

This series adds support for the ina237 power monitor to the ina238
driver as those two are very similar.

As the driver missed MAINTAINERS and dt-bindings I've also added them.
If this is incorrect please just ignore the patches or drop me a line so
I can provide a v2.

[PATCH 3/4] hwmon: ina238: add ina237 support

[Richard Leitner]

The INA237 "85-V, 16-Bit, Precision Power Monitor With I2C Interface" is
basically the same as INA328. Therefore add a corresponding compatible
to the driver.

According to the datasheet the main difference is the current and power
monitoring accuracy:

+------------------------+---------------+---------------+
|                        | INA238        | INA237        |
+------------------------+---------------+---------------+
| Offset voltage         | +/- 5µV       | +/- 50µV      |
| Offset drift           | +/- 0.02µV/°C | +/- 0.02µV/°C |
| Gain error             | +/- 0.1%      | +/- 0.3%      |
| Gain error drift       | +/- 25ppm/°C  | +/- 50ppm/°C  |
| Common mode rejection  | 140dB         | 120dB         |
| Power accuracy         | 0.7%          | 1.6%          |
+------------------------+---------------+---------------+

As well as the missing DEVICE_ID register at 0x3F, which is currently
not in use by the driver.

The driver patch you have done implies no difference between the
programming model for both of these devices. It'd seem to make more sense
for the ina237 to fall back to the ina238, thereby requiring no change in
the driver to support it.

Cheers,
Conor.

Seemingly it is documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/ti,ina2xx.yaml

Thanks for the feedback. True. So is it fine if it's left there or
should it be removed from ti,ina2xxx.yml as this is a separate driver
with different properties?

Thanks for the quick feedback, Conor.

I first thought of just mentioning the ina237 in the documentation as
"compatible" to the ina238. But IMHO it is better understandable if it's
listed as compatible.

And I would strongly encourage mentioning it somewhere (documentation or
compatible). So other people using the ina237 are able to find it and
don't have to compare the datasheets by themselves to find the right
driver.

Sorry folks, I don't quite get what do you want to merge or move and
why. Drivers are not related to bindings. The point is the compatible is
already documented, so is anything wrong with existing documentation?

Krzysztof

Conor did not oppose listing it. The point is to use fall-back.

Sure, there is plenty of space in the driver code (.c or Kconfig) to
document whatever you wish. We focus here on the bindings, though.

ina238 is a separate driver which doesn't evaluate the same properties as
the ina2xx driver. So I thought it would be reasonable to split those
bindings and therefore reflect the drivers capabilities.

If it's fine if there are additional properties in the dt-bindings which
are not evaluated by the driver then it's of course fine with me to just
add the ina327 compatible in ina2xx.yaml.

If it was not clear, I meant merging the bindings, not the drivers. IOW,
adding the new compatible for the ina237 to the existing ina2xx.yaml
binding.

I do not see different properties in the bindings, so what do you mean
that it evaluates something else?

Anyway, whatever driver does is rarely good argument for change in
bindings, because we focus here on the hardware, not on one, chosen OS
implementation.

Depends. What driver does, might not matter in some cases. What matters
is if these properties are applicable to this hardware.

Yes, this sounds good. Maybe ina2xx is indeed not matching all of this
hardware (e.g. supplies, shunt resistors), but then we need to talk
about specifics.

Understood.

For example the "shunt-resistor" property described in ina2xx.yaml is
not evaluated in ina238.c.

Thanks for that explanation. That makes things clearer to me.

The properties described in the ina2xx.yaml are applicable to the ina237
and ina238 hardware, but are not implemented in the ina238.c driver.

So I will just add the ina237 compatible to the ina2xx.yaml and drop the
ina238.yaml from that series. Would that be fine from your side?

NACK. I am already the hwmon maintainer, and there is no need
to list me as maintainer for every hwmon driver.
