Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/10] mfd: Add base driver for Netronix embedded controller

Third-party hardware documentation is available at
https://github.com/neuschaefer/linux/wiki/Netronix-MSP430-embedded-controller

The EC supports interrupts, but the driver doesn't make use of them so
far.

Known problems:
- The reboot handler is installed in such a way that it directly calls
into the i2c subsystem to send the reboot command to the EC. This
means that the reboot handler may sleep, which is not allowed.

Only the SPDX line should contain C++ style comments.

Description at the top, copyright after.

An "MFD driver" isn't really a thing. Please describe the device.

No need for double line spacing.

Are these registers? Might be worth pre/post-fixing with _REG.

Why are you hand-rolling your own accessors?

These comments seem to be stating the obvious.

Please remove them.

All magic numbers should be defined?

Then this is not allowed.

You need to fix this *before* submitting upstream.

TODO *before* submitting upstream. This is not a development branch.

What is the new layout?

Nope.

do we really need both 16bit and 8bit accessors? If not,
then simply use regmap_i2c_init and set val_bits accordingly.
Maybe just doing the << 8 in the constants?

common pattern, across drivers, so I think doing something else would
be a separate cleanup issue.

There are registers which only require one byte of data and others which
require two. This didn't quite seem to fit into the regmap API.

It is possible to always use 16-bit accessors directly but that would
push shifts into call sites that only use 8 bits.
(If the 16 bits are interpreted as big endian)

I'm not sure what's ideal here.

Ok.

Alright, I'll move them to the register definitions.

The idea was to avoid returning from the poweroff handler by allowing
enough time until the power is actually off. However:

- I just tested it and the board I have turns off about 80ms after the
I2C command.

- I'm not sure if returning from the poweroff handler is actually bad.
It does seem to be wrong, because I get a lockdep report when I
remove the msleep and the kernel reaches do_exit in the reboot
syscall handler:

I'll adjust the number a bit and add a comment to explain the msleep

Sorry. I'll research how other drivers deal with the issue of sleeping
I/O in the reset path.

Ok, I'll drop ec->client.

I'm not sure anymore, but I agree that it seems more significant than
debug level.

It's a significantly different command set, see 'if (NEWMSP) ...' in:

https://github.com/neuschaefer/linux/blob/vendor/kobo-aura/drivers/mxc/pmic/core/pmic_core_i2c.c


> Why don't you support it?

I don't have any hardware that uses it. The downstream driver supports
both layouts so I wanted to ensure that this driver doesn't use the
wrong one.

Two instances of this driver where both try to be the poweroff/restart
instance seemed like a situation that is always unintended and a bug in
the devicetree (or somewhere else).

Hmm, I guess if the poweroff handler can't be installed there also isn't
much point in installing a restart handler...

"Currently always returns zero"

However, other callers tend to do "if (res)".

The sub-devices drivers (RTC, PWM) call `dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent)`
to get a pointer to the ntxec struct, which is then passed to the
register accessors.

Ok, I'll switch to .probe_new()

Should I really drop the OF match table, though?

Good point, I'll add a remove method.

Currently, this is consistent with the Kconfig entry, but I'll look into
making the driver buildable as a module.

Good point. This would be the most conservative approach. If someone
then shows up with a different version, it can be added as tested and
known working.


Thanks for the review,

So far, regmap isn't involved here, but I'll remember it when I switch
to regmap.

Between when I first wrote this driver and now, the I2C has added
support for transfers in atomic contexts very late in the system's life
(exactly what happens when you reset a system via PMIC/EC), so this
problem seems to be gone from my driver, for now.
(See commit 63b96983a5ddf ("i2c: core: introduce callbacks for atomic transfers"))

No, the hardware/firmware doesn't care.

Thanks, I'll try this approach.

The values are not always constants, for example in the PWM driver:

res |= ntxec_write8(pwm->ec, NTXEC_PERIOD_HIGH, period >> 8);
res |= ntxec_write8(pwm->ec, NTXEC_PERIOD_LOW, period);
res |= ntxec_write8(pwm->ec, NTXEC_DUTY_HIGH, duty >> 8);
res |= ntxec_write8(pwm->ec, NTXEC_DUTY_LOW, duty);
