Re: [PATCH v2 00/11] add support for VBUS max current and min voltage limits AXP20X and AXP22X PMICs

[Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@free-electrons.com>]

Hi all,

I forgot to add a question to my cover letter so here it is:

The X-Powers AXP209 and AXP223 PMICs allow to not limit the maximal
current for the VBUS power supply.[1]
(If a Chinese-speaking person could check it's the same for the AXP221
that would be great also[2]).

In the get_property (axp20x_usb_power_get_property) of the power supply
driver, I see that we use -1 as value for "no limit". Should we use the
same (-1) value for the set_property (axp20x_usb_power_set_property) to
disable max current limit?

[1] http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/AXP/AXP209_Datasheet_v1.0en.pdf page 33,
REG 30H, BITS 0 & 1
[2]
http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/AXP/AXP221%20Datasheet%20V1.2%2020130326%20.pdf
page 33, REG 30H, BITS 0 & 1 => 不限流 is written for when the BIT(1) is
set.

Thanks,
Quentin
