[PATCH v2 0/3] Add GPADC support for A523

[PATCH v2 0/3] Add GPADC support for A523

[Michal Piekos]

Add support for Allwinner A523 GPADC in sun20i gpadc driver and describe
corresponding node in dts for A523 SoC.

A523 uses same model as existing driver except it has two clocks.

Added support to enable more than one clock in the driver, extended the
binding with new compatible and wired up dts node for A523 as its own
fallback compatible.

Changes in v2:
- Handle scenario when 0 clocks has been defined
- Fix copy&paste sentence in 3rd patch commit message
- Moved status as last property in dts node
- Make A523 its own fallback compatible
- Removed redundant maxItems/minItems properties from binding
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260510-sunxi-a523-gpadc-v1-0-4f6b0f4000fb@mmpsystems.pl

[Michal Piekos]

Describe GPADC block on Allwinner A523.

Tested on Radxa Cubie A5E:
- 2 connected channels are showing voltages in agreement with
  schematics.
        BOOT-SEL-ADC ~500mV
        BOM-ADC ~1800mV
- 3rd channel exposed on 40pin header is showing correct voltages when
  connected to known voltage source.

Thank you Michal for the change.

Have you validated the changes ?
It looks while success ret would be 0 and it would give return error.

Thanks, Sanjay

But devm_clk_bulk_get_all_enabled() returns the number of clocks found 
and enabled. And since we need at least one, I think this is correct, 
and the error message below reflects that.

To me that change looks good:

True but passing 0 to dev_err_probe() isn't going to do the right thing.

Though from this function, 0 is an error you need to return an error code
not 0 which to the caller looks like a success.

Is this done by clang-format or so? Please, don't do wrapping on the open
parenthesis. Also note for more than 10 years checkpatch does not complain
on the trailing string literals that go over 80 characters.

No, it doesn't. Returning 0 means no clocks found:

Not sure I follow:
devm_clk_bulk_get_all_enabled() returns the number of clocks in that
node, or a negative error value. If it returns 0, that means no clocks
have been found, which is an error in our case, since we expect at
least one clock. This is what the second part of the error message
refers to.
So we want one or two as the return value, with the current bindings,
but really anything greater than 0 is fine, from the driver's
perspective, since we don't care about the clocks beyond them being
enabled.

So am I missing something?

Cheers,
Andre

Not in this code. Here it will be resent to the caller as success.

But not the error code itself! There will be no error message, IIRC the
implementation of dev_err_probe().

Yes!

You returned that to the caller, meaning everything is fine. There is a success
that is returned. The code is buggy (okay, not that, it rather will behave not
as intended).

TL;DR:
You should have something like
	if (ret < 0)
		return dev_err_probe(ret);
	if (ret == 0)
		return dev_err_probe(-Exxx, "Needs at least one clock!\n");

Ah, that's true - should have read your email first before answering to
Andy ;-)

So yeah, that needs a split handling, for == 0, and for < 0.

dt-bindings: iio: adc: Add GPADC for Allwinner A523

This commit adds support for the GPADC on the Allwinner A523. It updates
the schema to allow two clocks for this new compatible string while
restricting previous generations to one clock.

Will this condition successfully match the A523 compatible string?

In dt-schema, the compatible property is parsed and evaluated as an array of
strings. By using enum directly without a contains: keyword, this condition
expects the property to be exactly a string.

Under JSON schema rules, this condition will evaluate to false because an
array cannot equal a string.

Does this result in valid A523 device tree nodes being incorrectly rejected?

Since the if block silently fails to match, the schema will fall through to
this else block, enforcing maxItems: 1 for clocks and rejecting clock-names.
This would erroneously reject A523 configurations that correctly provide the
two required clocks.

Could the condition be updated to use contains: enum: or contains: const: to
properly match the compatible array elements?

iio: adc: sun20i-gpadc: add A523 gpadc support

This commit adds support for the A523 gpadc by switching to the bulk clock
API to handle both bus and module clocks.

When devm_clk_bulk_get_all_enabled() returns 0 (meaning no clocks are defined),
will this code return 0 from the probe function?

Since dev_err_probe() returns the error code passed to it, returning 0 here
would cause sun20i_gpadc_probe() to succeed while skipping all remaining
initialization like reset deassertion, IRQ registration, and IIO device
registration.

Should ret be explicitly set to a negative error code (like -ENODEV) before
calling dev_err_probe() if ret is 0?

Should this node also include #address-cells = <1>; and #size-cells = <0>;?

The driver for this hardware requires channel@X child nodes to probe
successfully. Since these child nodes use reg properties to specify the
channel, omitting the cell properties from the base dtsi forces every board
file to redundantly declare them.

Including them here would prevent DTC warnings or probe failures if a board
author forgets to add them when enabling the device.
