Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] mfd: watchdog: rtc: New driver for ST's LPC IP

ST's Low Power Controller (LPC) controls two devices; watchdog and RTC.
Only one of the devices can be used at any one time, which is enforced
by the correlating MFD driver.

This driver set provides everything you need to choose one (and only
one) of the LPC devices to run per I/P block, of which there are two
on the enabled STiH407 h/w.

Version 3:
- Move Regmap pointer into core device data structure
- Remove error message from devm_ioremap_resource

Version 2:
- Only calculate keepalive once in probe()
- Check for a 0 clk_rate
- Set limits using predefined attributes from watchdog_device
- CONFIG_PM => CONFIG_SLEEP
- Call st_wdog_setup() on resume
- Remove MFD driver -- instead rely on driver probing mechanism
which continues attempting to bind to different drivers until
one does not return -ENODEV

Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] rtc: st: add new driver for ST's LPC RTC

ST's Low Power Controller (LPC) controls two devices; watchdog and RTC.
Only one of the devices can be used at any one time. This is enforced
by the correlating MFD driver. This portion of the driver-set controls
the Real Time Clock.

I think all the writel IO accessors in this driver can be replaced
with the *_relaxed variant. This will avoid the overhead of taking a
spinlock in the l2 outer cache part of writel.

Is there a reason for not disabling the IP clock in suspend / resume functions?

I was expecting the suspend / resume callbacks would be disabling / enabling
the IP clock.

Is there a reason why it doesn't?

>From looking at the code by this point the watchdog has already been disabled so gating
the IP seems reasonable.

Yes, there is no technical reason why we can't use the relaxed
variants. Will fix.

There is. It will stop the alarm timer, which is undesirable.

You're really operating on old information. With much improved L2 cache
support code which went in a year or so ago, for the popular L2 cache
controllers, we don't take a spinlock anymore - we just write to the
register directly.

The spinlock is only present for L2C-220 controllers, which are rare.

Moreover, taking the spinlock is only expensive if you have things like
lockdep enabled, otherwise it should be inline and will be fast.

However, using the _relaxed variants where we can get away with weaker
ordering of the writes to the device is a good thing nevertheless. I'm
just pointing out that your reasoning above is wrong.

Thanks for pointing this out, I wasn't aware until now that the spinlock
had been removed.
