Subject: [PATCH 0/2] hwmon: (ina2xx):Add Suppor for passing alert polarity from device tree to driver

The INA230 has alert polarity bit in Mask/Enable register which can be
configured to be active high or active low depending upon the requirements
of the hardware using this chip. The patches in this series adds the support
for passing alert polarity value from device tree to the driver. Alert polarity
property is added device tree bindings and the driver is modified to read
this property and set the Alert polarity (APOL) bit value in Mask/Enable register
of INA230.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: hwmon: ti,ina2xx: Add alert-polarity property

Add a property to the binding to configure the Alert Polarity.
Alert pin is asserted based on the value of Alert Polarity bit of
Mask/Enable register. It is by default 0 which means Alert pin is
configured to be active low. To configure it to active high, set
alert-polarity property value to 1.

Just use string, easier to read. But for sure do not introduce different
values than we already have - GPIO HIGH is 0, not 1.

Are you sure you want a vendor prefix here ? Reason for asking is that
many hardware monitoring chips have configurable alert or interrupt polarity,
only the name is different. Some examples are the JC42.4 standard ("event
polarity"), adt7410/adt7420 "interrupt polarity", MAX31827 ("alarm polarity"),
or DS1621 ("output polarity"). We even have a vendor property, "adi,alarm-pol",
used for MAX31827.

Secondary problem is that not all chips of the series support this
configuration. INA209 has a configurable "warning polarity", but the
warning pin and the smbus alert pin are two different pins.
INA219 and INA220 do not have alert or interrupt output pins.
Only INA226, INA230, INA231, INA238, and INA260 support configurable
alert polarity.

Thanks,
Guenter

I agree with not using vendor prefix with alert-polarity property.
@Krzysztof Kozlowski what do you suggest?

The version with vendor prefix was already accepted, so let's just go with it.
It is not worth arguing. We can revisit if there is ever the need to support
this for other chips.

Hm, I just checked if this is already existing property, but indeed I
did not check other variants.

Indeed it could go to common properties - hwmon-common.yaml. But then
how about using strings (as I asked before...).

I can't really comment on the strings; that is out of my knowledge zone.
It might make sense to have hwmon-common.yaml, but I think that would
require a some (read: a lot of) work.

This is alert as in SMBus Alert? That's handled as an interrupt, but
this binding has no interrupt property. And the interrupt binding
provides a way already to specify active trigger state. Why do we need a
second way to do this?

SMBus alert is a single interrupt/alert line for all chips in a single I2C/SMBus.
it is handled by drivers/i2c/i2c-smbus.c. It can not be handled by an individual
driver since it affects all chips on a single bus. A driver supporting it
is supposed to implement an alert callback in struct i2c_driver.

The signal is supposed to be active-low open collector. Some chips, such as this
series, make it configurable; in this case the alternative is active-high open
collector. Presumably there is some wiring to attach it to the active-low open
collector SMBus interrupt signal.

Having said this, I don't really know what the use case is for this driver.
It doesn't implement an alert callback, and it doesn't implement an interrupt
handler either (after all, it might be conceivable that the alert signal _is_
connected to a dedicated interrupt line). So your question is fair - with neither
SMBus alert nor interrupt support by the driver, the alert signal polarity should
not really matter.
