Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] mux: Add new API to get mux_control ref by device name.

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <[email protected]>

Currently this driver only provides a single API, mux_control_get() to
get mux_control reference based on mux_name, and also this API has tight
dependency on device tree node. For devices, that does not use device
tree, it makes it difficult to use this API. This patch adds new
API to access mux_control reference based on device name, chip index and
controller index value.

I assume this is for the Intel USB Multiplexer that you sent a driver for
a month or so ago? If so, you still have not answered these questions:

Is any other consumer in the charts at all? Can this existing consumer
ever make use of some other mux? If the answer to both those questions
are 'no', then I do not see much point in involving the mux subsystem at
all. The Broxton USB PHY driver could just as well write to the register
all by itself, no?

that I asked in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/31/58

What is the point of that driver?

Ouch, strlen as a termination test is wasteful, you want to remove the loop
and do something like this

return !strncmp(devname, data, strcspn(devname, "."));

This loop is broken. class_find_device will always return the same device.

Also, if you fix the loop, why is the ordering stable and something to rely
on?

I am not planning to merge the Intel USB MUX driver any more. I agree
with Hans comments
and decided not to proceed further on this approach.

But I created these helper functions to get my driver working with MUX
framework. Since these
helper functions can be useful for any non-dt drivers who wants to use
MUX framework, I thought
to submit these changes for review.

Good catch. I did not test the case with multiple chips. So I failed to

I dropped the idea of Intel USB MUX driver after my last discussion with
Hans. He is currently working on a solution for this issue. Once its
merged, May be I can try improving it handle my use cases.

But I submitted these changes because it can be useful if any one wants
to use MUX framework for non-dt case.

You failed to comment on this very important point. Sorry for not putting
more emphasis on it. So, before you waste more time on the indexed approach,
have a look at e.g. the pwm core with its pwm_get (which takes a name) and
its *deprecated* pwm_request (which takes an index).

I think having a lookup table (like pwm) is closer to what the mux core
should do. Or something like that.
