Re: [PATCH v7 1/6] mfd: max8997: Use regmap to access registers

Hi Krzysztof,

One thing drew my attention while reviewing this again:
max8997_led_brightness_set() can sleep, but the brightness_set
op it is assigned to must not sleep. At the time when this driver was
merged we were delegating brightness setting to workqueues task
in LED class drivers that can sleep during this call.
This must have been overlooked, which is even more likely, taking into
account that the initial patch doesn't have LED maintainer's ack.

The non-sleeping requirement is motivated by the fact that brightness
can be set from softirq context, e.g. when timer trigger is enabled.

Currently LED class drivers don't have to use workqueue on their own,
but are required to use brightness_set_blocking op instead of
brightness_set if they can sleep while setting brightness.

Apart of that, I think that operations in max8997_led_brightness_set()
should be protected with mutex to assure leaving the device in
a consistent state in case of concurrent calls.

I am aware that this is out of this patch scope, but I'd be grateful
if you could apply those changes and test them on hardware if you have
an access to.

Thanks,
Jacek Anaszewski
