Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Add LTRF216A Driver

This patchset adds support for ltrf216a Ambient Light Sensor
and documents the DT bindings for the same.


Changes in v4
- Add more descriptive comment for mutex lock
- Fix mutex locking in read_raw()
- Use i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data()

Changes in v3
- Use u16 instead of u8 for int_time_fac
- Reorder headers in ltrf216a.c file
- Remove int_time_mapping table and use int_time_available
- Fix indentation in the bindings file.

Changes in v2
- Add support for 25ms and 50ms integration time.
- Rename some of the macros as per names given in datasheet
- Add a comment for the mutex lock
- Use read_avail callback instead of attributes and set the
appropriate _available bit.
- Use FIELD_PREP() at appropriate places.
- Add a constant lookup table for integration time and reg val
- Use BIT() macro for magic numbers.
- Improve error handling at few places.
- Use get_unaligned_le24() and div_u64()
- Use probe_new() callback and devm functions
- Return errors in probe using dev_err_probe()
- Use DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS()
- Correct the formula for lux to use 0.45 instead of 0.8
- Add interrupt and power supply property in DT bindings
- Add vendor prefix name as per the alphabetical order.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] dt-bindings: vendor-prefixes: Add 'ltr' as deprecated vendor prefix

'liteon' is the correct vendor prefix for devices released by
LITE-ON Technology Corp. But one of the released device which uses
ltr216a light sensor exposes the vendor prefix name as 'ltr' through
ACPI.

Hence, add 'ltr' as a deprecated vendor prefix which would suppress the
following warning in case the compatible string used in ltrf216a driver
is "ltr,ltrf216a"

WARNING: DT compatible string vendor "ltr" appears un-documented --
check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml
364: FILE: drivers/iio/light/ltrf216a.c:313:
+ { .compatible = "ltr,ltrf216a" },

I think we are doing a read here just to make sure device registers are
ready and accessible
without any issues.

Also, why would we want to do a SW reset here?

In the datasheet, I could see the following steps to enable the sensor
Supply VDD to Sensor (Sensor in Standby Mode) ---> Wait 100 ms (min) -
initial startup time
---> I2C Command (Write) To enable sensor to Active Mode

Thanks,

Could you please explain what is cleardata?

For example, if you'll do kexec from other kernel, say downstream
kernel, then the h/w state is undetermined for us. It's a common problem
with downstream drivers that they rely on a specific state left from
bootloader, which is often unacceptable for upstream.

If we'll do the SW reset on probe, then we'll bring h/w into the
predictable state and won't depend on state left from bootloader or
anything else that touched h/w before us.

I just came to know that in I2C communication, writing a single bit
requires reading the old value (whole byte),
modifying the result (i.e. set or clear the bit one is interested in)
and then write it back. So the above code writes
the enable bit without modifying the other bits in the
LTRF216A_MAIN_CTRL register. ( Thanks to Sebastian )

And you are right, we don't need to do a read here since we anyway want
all other bits of LTRF216A_MAIN_CTRL
to be 0.

You may safely remove these includes because module.h always provides them.

This define doesn't bring much benefits, you may use "ltrf216a" directly
in the code.

Usually all defines are placed before the code. You may move this define
before struct ltrf216a_data.

Reverse Xmas tree is a common coding style in kernel for the function
variables.

Will be great if you could use the same coding style everywhere in this
source file, i.e. like this:

struct ltrf216a_data *data = iio_priv(indio_dev);
int ret;

This message doesn't tell us the error code, which usually is very handy
to know.

I'd also change all the error messages in this driver to tell which
action failed, like this:

dev_err(dev, "Failed to enable sensor: %d\n", ret);

Please add error code to the message here too and reword it. This is
exactly the same error message as in ltrf216a_init(), so you can't
distinguish whether it's enabling or disabling that failed.

Couldn't you write "1" directly without reading?

What about doing SW reset?

Should the data->int_time_fac be updated only if I2C write was successful?

I'm not sure what reading of LTRF216A_CLEAR_DATA reg does, but if it
clears the measured data, then shouldn't the data be cleared after
changing the config?

Is it possible to enable sensor only when measurement is made for more
power savings? Light sensor shouldn't consume much power, but nevertheless.

You'll need to add msleep(power_on_delay + resolution_rate_delay) after
enabling sensor and before reading the measurement to wait until
measurement is made by h/w.

Safely yes, but generally I'd prefer direct include
of mod_devicetable.h because of the direct use of
elements from it in the driver.

As this is for ACPI, NAK. There's not really any point in having this in

Yes, thanks for pointing it out. It should be updated only if write is
successful.

LTRF216A_CLEAR_DATA isn't used for clearing the measured data. Name is a
bit confusing and even I assumed it is being used for clearing the data.
But from the
datasheet, it seems that clear data registers provides light intensity
data related to infrared
and ultravoilet.
We are currently not using this anywhere in the driver so we could
remove the cleardata readings
for now.

Hi Rob,

Yes, we understand there are no cases of 'ltr', but we have released devices
which uses this string for probing the ltrf216a light sensor driver (
x86 with DT )

If we don't document this in vendor-prefixes.yaml, then the following
warning
is generated.

WARNING: DT compatible string vendor "ltr" appears un-documented --
check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml 364:
FILE: drivers/iio/light/ltrf216a.c:313: + { .compatible = "ltr,ltrf216a" },


Can you suggest us what would be the right way to fix this warning if
not documenting
in vendor-prefixes.yaml?

That's not what your commit message says.

Even if this is DT based, given an undocumented vendor string is used,
it seems doubtful the rest of the binding would match upstream. What
about the rest of the DTB? Got a pointer to it or want to publish it?

Fix the DT. We don't accept bindings simply because they are already
used in the field. If this was the only issue, it would be fine, but I
suspect it's the tip of the iceberg.

Hi Rob,

To make things more clear, following is the modalias info of the device.

(B+)(root@linux iio:device0)# cat
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-PRP0001\:01/modalias
of:NltrfTCltr,ltrf216a

It's a dt namespace on an ACPI based device. We used an of_device_id
table to be able to probe the driver
using the vendor prefix and compatible string.

But when we compile the driver, we get the following warning and hence
we documented it in vendor-prefixes.yaml
and also added a complete device tree file [Patch 3/3] just to get rid
of the warning. In real life we are not using
the device tree file at all.

WARNING: DT compatible string vendor "ltr" appears un-documented -- check
./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml 364: FILE:
drivers/iio/light/ltrf216a.c:313: + { .compatible = "ltr,ltrf216a" },

There are many existing devices used by people which has the vendor
prefix name as 'ltr'
and it won't be possible to change that hence we are trying to upstream it.


Thanks,
Shreeya Patel

Again, it's ACPI so I don't care. If someone cares about using DT
bindings in ACPI they can step up and help maintain them. It's not a DT
vs. ACPI thing, but just that I can only maintain so much and have to
draw the line somewhere.

So, is someone telling you to fix this?

There are millions if not billions of DT based devices using
undocumented bindings. If those used "ltr,ltrf216a", I wouldn't accept
it either.

So will it be right to just keep the warning and remove this patch?
Is there a way you know to silent this warning?
