I'll need confirmation > from someone at Analog. Hi Guenter, Well, in fact I'm in the middle of preparing a series that adds support for: "max20826" "max20855b" "max20908" "max20912" "max20916" All the above parts have the datasheet under NDA. But before we had a one page "datasheet" in analog.com but I guess that is gone! For context I mainly did the base (core) driver for max20826 and then Alexis added the other ones. Not sure how to proceed... I can wait and then work on top of what Fred has but this patch is very minimal when compared with what we have. Like: * No regulator support; * No direct mode. The chip has two ways to access registers (paging and * direct mode). * No way to count how many phases we have or if RAIL_B (func[1]) is being used at all. Some other things more intriguing is that these chips, as far as I'm aware (at least for max20826), always have bit 2 set in ON_OFF_CONFIG so a gpio vout. Also we needed some special handling to read phase current which I'm not seeing in the driver. So I would like to understand how the chip was tested? Anyways, if Fred is ok with it I can just finish what I'm doing and send the patches. It would make sense to have something more complete on submission but I don't want to just "steal" the work already done. - Nuno Sá > > Thanks, > Guenter >
