Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] auxdisplay: linedisp: Clean up and add new driver

Add a new initial driver for Maxim MAX6958/6959 chips.
While developing that driver I realised that there is a lot
of duplication between ht16k33 and a new one. Hence set of
cleanups and refactorings.

Note, the new driver has minimum support of the hardware and
I have plans to cover more features in the future.

In v2:
- updated DT bindings to follow specifications and requirements (Krzysztof)
- unified return code variable (err everywhere)
- left patches 10 and 13 untouched, we may amend later on (Robin)

Andy Shevchenko (15):
auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Make container_of() no-op for struct
linedisp
auxdisplay: linedisp: Free allocated resources in ->release()
auxdisplay: linedisp: Use unique number for id
auxdisplay: linedisp: Unshadow error codes in ->store()
auxdisplay: linedisp: Add missing header(s)
auxdisplay: linedisp: Move exported symbols to a namespace
auxdisplay: linedisp: Group line display drivers together
auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide struct linedisp_ops for future extension
auxdisplay: linedisp: Add support for overriding character mapping
auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide a small buffer in the struct linedisp
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Move ht16k33_linedisp_ops down
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Switch to use line display character mapping
auxdisplay: ht16k33: Use buffer from struct linedisp
dt-bindings: auxdisplay: Add Maxim MAX6958/6959
auxdisplay: Add driver for MAX695x 7-segment LED controllers

Subject: [PATCH v2 08/15] auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide struct linedisp_ops for future extension

Currently the line display library doesn't scale in case we want to
provide more operations. Prepare the library to take a newly created
struct linedisp_ops that scales.

Subject: [PATCH v2 09/15] auxdisplay: linedisp: Add support for overriding character mapping

There is already the driver using character mapping table for
7 or 14 segment display. It is possible to override it. Make
the similar in the line display library to allow other drivers
to utilise the same functionality.

Subject: [PATCH v2 12/15] auxdisplay: ht16k33: Switch to use line display character mapping

Since line display library supports necessary bits to map the characters
(if required), switch this driver to use that.

Subject: [PATCH v2 03/15] auxdisplay: linedisp: Use unique number for id

The absence of decrementation of linedisp_id is incorrect in two ways,
i.e. it may cause:
- an ID exhaustion
- (and if the above is addressed) a duplicate id number may be allocated
next time a device is added

Replace above mentioned approach by using IDA framework.

There is a driver that uses small buffer for the string, when we
add a new one, we may avoid duplication and use one provided by
the line display library. Allow user to skip buffer pointer when
registering a device.

Missing "return -EINVAL";

This case cannot happen, so it wasn't handled in the old code.
But with the new code, it fails at compile-time.

Anyway you need to send the new version to the list, so the bot will

Note that there is a hole on 64-bit platforms.
Hence I'd move id below, so the hole is at the end of the

I think it would be good to have "# <display type> section" comments,
to make the grouping clear.

Shouldn't this (and PARPORT_PANEL and friends) be moved up, to the

Likewise, .bin_attrs?

With the missing return-statement added, the ht16k33 driver builds
and works fine: the kernel version is happily scrolling by.
I didn't test userspace line display control, as there is an issue
with the uSD interface on my OrangeCrab, preventing it from booting
into userspace.

I think it would be safer to return an error if buf == NULL and
num_chars < LINEDISP_DEFAULT_BUF_SZ.
Else a careless driver that doesn't check linedisp->num_chars might
overflow the buffer.

I can add blank lines to follow the same grouping as in Kconfig. Would it work

IUIC, the primary differentiating factor is that the MAX6959 adds input
and GPIO support? Debounce and interrupt support are merely features
of input support.

I don't think you need to read that register, as the users of the
features (keypad mapping, interrupts property, ...) also need to be
described in DTS (once supported).

Does this matter? I.e. is it important to say this in the bindings?

So, the idea that if DT describes those we will check the chip ID and
instantiate what is asked?

From Krzysztof's review of v1 I understood that it is important to say so
people wouldn't wonder if HW has support of that which is not implemented
(yet) or simply has no such pins.

Personally I would lean towards leaving this in the description.

..

Can you propose the full description text how you see it?

I was wondering myself, but we have no infrastructure for that
(there are no DEVICE_BIN_ATTR_*() helpers, nor bin_attr member
in struct device attribute).

As you pointed out, it's preexisted issue and should be addressed
separately and not only in this driver.

The Maxim MAX6958/6959 7-segment LED display controller provides
an I2C interface to up to four 7-segment LED digits. The MAX6959
adds input support.

Even the check for the chip ID is probably not needed. E.g.
- If the DTS has an interrupt property, (the future version of)
the driver sets up the interrupt.
- If the DTS has a linux,keymap, (the future version of) enables the
keypad.

It might be good to mention that in the commit description.
IMHO a list of all possible things that do not exist does not belong in the
bindings.

I had checked timer_list, but while it has holes, without debug it ends on
4-bytes boundary (without debug enabled), otherwise on 8-bytes.
Nevertheless, relying on the above seems fragile, so I follow your suggestion.

Yes you have.

A careless driver might not use linedisp->num_chars later, but instead
just hardcode e.g. memcpy(linedisp->buf, source, LARGE_BUF_SIZE).

Unlike Kconfig, this is not user-visible.
Most Makefiles use sorted entries. If they look unsorted, people will
just add new entries at the end.

Thank you!

So far I have applied patches 1-6,8-9 with the respective suggestions
