Hi Amir,
I'm a bit in two minds on this one. It's not a size critical structure
and the advantage of bools is they make it clear the thing really is
true or false.
Another element here is that this is a platform data structure and unless
we have users in the kernel tree, the chances that we'll maintain it's
existence at all as we look to move this driver out of staging is very
small!
So slightly marginal advantage to the change on a structure that I certainly
hope is shortly going away!
Sorry, but I'm not convinced and won't be applying it.
If you want to work on this driver though that would be great and I'm happy
to do a review of it to highlight what other elements need cleaning up.
Just say on the list and either I'll take a look or one of our other
reviewers will.
Thanks,
Jonathan

There was some discussion on this at Outreachy list:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/outreachy-kernel/xpQAl-Gn8HA/yqcQRG_qBgAJ
I think unless you post some statistics about 'conserving' space,
it is unlikely that maintainers will apply it.
This idea was originally given by Linus and that thread of discussion
is worth reading too.

Don't put spaces around the :. Just do:
unsigned int burnout_curr_en:1;
Otherwise it looks like part of a select statement or something.

Important thing to note is depending on padding, alignment, and position of field it probably won’t save any space.
Also for internal unpacked structures it really makes little sense to save a few bytes of data. Don’t read into that packed structures are good.. they usually aren’t :)

Sure, I'll give the current state a quick review...
Major items are that it needs devicetree bindings instead of platform
data and there are a few unusual sysfs interfaces that may need documenting.

So, this needs to use the DT clock binding.
1) Clock is optional. If it's not provided, assumption is use internal.
2) Manufacturer specific bidning to say without the clock is output or not.
3) Clock provided, then external.
4) The Mclock1_2 vs mclock2 only sounds like whether it is a clock or a crystal.
Manufacturer specific binding should cover that.. It think we already have
some similar ones...

This code would be more readable if the condition was inverted.
if (!ad7192_valid_external_frequency(...))
return -EINVAL;
st->mclk
Mind you we should replace this platform data stuff with devicetree anyway.

These probably all need to be manufacturer specific devicetree

Report error and return directly wherever the error occurs.
Gives more information and easier to read code.
Some of the paths will result in two error messages currently which
doesn't add anything.

There is little enough shared code really in the two different options here
that I'd be inclined (for readability) to just have two different set
functions.

The non standard elements in here are probably the main reason no one has
yet taken this one out of staging...
They are
bridge_switch_en and ac_excitation_en
We need to pin down and document the ABI fully in

Probably best to just drop the platform data as there are no in kernel users of
it and anyone who does want to use it will need to patch the code to get to
the definition anyway. They can just patch this back in..

For this device I would treat that as a problem with the device tree
and error out if this happens. It is effectively a broken devicetreee.
We are basically checking for zero voltage here which doesn't make
any sense either...

Yes, agreed, but I often see patches to save few bytes by marking
array as static.
There is some effort in this direction:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
Very likely to get more patches if the above patch gets merged.

The one additional thing that is relevant here is that we will probably
drop the whole structure anyway as part of moving it out of staging.
There might be some equivalent elements stored elsewhere, but quite
likely it won't be all of them. As a result I'm not particularly keen
on patches to clean platform data up.
+ we really are dealing with trivial amounts of data here..
