[RFC PATCH 0/2] regmap: Add cache_default_is_zero flag for flat cache

[Sheetal .]

From: Sheetal <sheetal@nvidia.com>

This patch series adds a cache_default_is_zero flag for REGCACHE_FLAT that
marks cache entries as valid on first read.

For hardware with zero power-on-reset registers, this avoids the need
to add all such registers to reg_defaults (maintenance burden, code
bloat, no functional benefit) just to set the validity bits.

[RFC PATCH 1/2] regmap: Add cache_default_is_zero flag for flat cache

[Sheetal .]

From: Sheetal <sheetal@nvidia.com>

Commit e062bdfdd6ad ("regmap: warn users about uninitialized flat
cache") added a warning for drivers using REGCACHE_FLAT when reading
registers not present in reg_defaults.

For hardware where registers have a power-on-reset value of zero
or drivers that wish to treat zero as a valid cache default, adding
all such registers to reg_defaults has drawbacks:

1. Maintenance burden: Drivers must list every readable register
   regardless of its reset value.

2. No functional benefit: Entries like { REG, 0x0 } only set the
   validity bit; the cache value is already zero.

3. Code bloat: Large reg_defaults arrays increase driver size.

Add a cache_default_is_zero flag to struct regmap_config. When set,
the flat cache marks registers as valid on first read instead of
warning. This ensures only accessed registers are marked valid,
keeping sync scope minimal and avoiding writes to unused registers
or holes.

For sparse caches specifying the register also allocates the cache
entry.

Why do this on first read rather than than just fill the valid flags
during initialisation?

It would be better if this were something specific to the flat cache
since otherwise we have to consider what this means for the other cache
types.

Setting valid bits on first read rather than bitmap_fill() at init ensures:
- Only accessed registers are marked valid
- regcache_sync() only syncs registers that were actually used
- Avoids writes to holes or unused registers during sync
- Safer for drivers without writeable_reg callback

I can address this by rename to flat_cache_default_is_zero.

Seems reasonable, put that in the changelog please.

BTW I forgot in my initial review but please add KUnit coverage for
this, we've got good coverage of the cache code.

This is only true because REGCACHE_FLAT just so happens to zero-initialize its
cache, which IMHO should be considered an implementation detail. If you were to
switch to another cache type, you would also need these defaults to maintain the
current behavior.

A special flag only used in the flat cache is exactly the type of config I think
is non-intuitive and should be avoided. It needs an explanation, which implies
documentation that may go out of sync.

If your device has a single contiguous register space that you want to
initialize to zero, all you really need to provide is something like the ranges
used for readable/writable/... registers:

	(struct regcache_defaults_range) {
		.range_min	= REG_MIN,
		.range_max	= REG_MAX,
		.value		= 0,
	}

Instead of a bool, you could add a pointer to a defaults table in the config
(which can be loaded together with the current flat list), just like how
rd_table works.

This would allow others to use the same table for multiple contiguous block,
with zero or non-zero default values. It would work the same for all cache
types, thus avoiding potential confusion, and limit the size increase of your
drivers. Then you could even safely switch to REGCACHE_FLAT_S.

Best,
Sander

The warning itself only exists in REGCACHE_FLAT not in other cache 
types. So this fix addresses a REGCACHE_FLAT specific warning with a 
REGCACHE_FLAT-specific flag.

I feel that perhaps we could avoid warning the user when they have
explicitly indicated that zero is a valid default for their hardware.
Since the driver author understands their device requirements, this
flag would allow them to opt out of the warning for cases where it
may not be helpful.

The range-based approach is a good idea for contiguous register
blocks. However, if registers with zero defaults are not contiguous
(scattered across the address space), it would need multiple range
entries or multiple reg default entries.

[RFC PATCH 2/2] ASoC: tegra: Enable cache_default_is_zero for audio drivers

[Sheetal .]

From: Sheetal <sheetal@nvidia.com>

Set cache_default_is_zero flag in Tegra audio driver regmap configurations.

Tegra APE hardware has numerous registers with zero power-on-reset
values. Use cache_default_is_zero to mark cache entries as valid instead
of adding all these registers to reg_defaults arrays.
