That's a little bonghits. It requires the drivers to jump through hoops to properly manage register accesses (needs to differentiate on the base depending on the register offset). So if you're going to NAK the MFD approach I'd rather go a completely different route and keep only a top- level node in DT here. One of the problems that the MFD design tries to solve is that the XHCI controller needs a reference to the mailbox and the pad controller for a PHY. The pad controller at the same time requires a reference to the mailbox, so we have a circular dependency that we can only resolve by introducing two separate devices, instantiated by some top-level entity. For that reason I don't think your proposal is going to work either. The circular dependency can't be broken because the XHCI driver will not be able to of_platform_populate() before getting a PHY, and the PHY will never show up until of_platform_populate() is called. So if this isn't going to be an MFD, then I think we should simply go and instantiate platform devices from the XUSB driver directly. The problem arising from that is that we have no place to put the top-level driver. We could take it into drivers/soc/tegra, or perhaps even have it in the XHCI driver. If we instantiate platform devices we can either set up the resources such that we don't have to jump through hoops (I think the resource tree will allow that) or set up a shared regmap. The latter might be the easier way out, though it'd also be copying much of what MFD does, but so be it if that's the only way we can get the matter settled. > > There is also the matter of clocks, resets, power supplies, etc. which > > simple-mfd can't take into account in its current form.
