Where is any user? This is supposed to be sent along driver change
implementing this compatible.

Binding looks ok.

I'm using this device on my platform, and I'm preparing upstream my 
device tree. So, I pushed the dt binding before.

I'm also quite surprised that there aren't any platforms using adt7462 yet.

I am sure there are (or used to be) platforms using it, only there are possibly
no _devicetree_ based platforms using it. After all, the chip is old. The driver
was added back in 2008, and the first version of the datasheet was published
in 2006.

How would this work? 'resets' generally is used for on-chip devices and 
a reset controller. That doesn't exist at the board level. A standalone 
device typically uses a GPIO lines if there's a s/w controlled reset. 
That would be the 'reset-gpios' property.

Since I2C subsystem will strip the vendor prefix and match "adt7462" to 
the existing i2c_device_id, no driver change is needed for it to work. 
Though for good hygene, an of_device_id entry should be added.

Thank Rob for your comments! The ADT7462 includes an active low reset 
pin (Pin #14).

I'll change 'resets' into the 'reset-gpios' property.

The example in the binding will be

examples:
   - |
     i2c {
       #address-cells = <1>;
       #size-cells = <0>;

       hwmon@5c {
         compatible = "onnn,adt7462";
         reg = <0x5c>;
         reset-gpios = <&gpio0 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
       };
     };

The question how did it work in the first place is still valid... I
think we might benefit from asking people to post their upstreamed DTS.
Otherwise we will take broken or half-baked bindings, because we never
saw the bigger picture. :(

Thank Krzysztof,

I saw the ADT7462 includes an active low reset pin (Pin #14) to reset 
device via I/O pin. So, I introduced a reset property follow the device 
datasheet.

But the adt7462 driver has not yet implemented this property. My 
platform also doesn't design this pin on board, so I don't need it at 
least now.

Anyway, I hope Rob, Guenter and Krzysztof can give me advice on whether 
I should add this property to the binding?

Thanks,
Chanh

Not from my perspective, and I won't let you add it to the driver unless you can
actually test it. Really, this is such an old chip that it would make more sense
to just leave its driver alone unless there is a problem with it. Why didn't you
just add the chip to the list of trivial devices ?

No Guenter, I don't think I'll change or update anythings to the adt7462 
driver. The driver is working fine for me.

I just wonder about this property in the dt-binding. It seems I 
shouldn't add the reset property to the dt-binding.

"Why didn't you just add the chip to the list of trivial devices ?" => 
Awesome, I just learned about the trivial-devices.yaml from your 
suggestion 
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/trivial-devices.yaml), 
this is thing that I'm finding for the adt7462 binding. Perfect!

I'm looking forward to hearing Rob and Krzysztof's idea. If nothing 
else, I'll add this chip to the list of trivial devices in the patch v2.

Thanks,
Chanh
