Hi everyone,

This is v7 of my "of: Introduce hardware prober driver" [1] series.
v7 mainly refactors the code into a series of helpers. The scope of
supported components is also reduced to those with at most one regulator
supply and one GPIO pin. Also the helpers expect these to be named and
so the "bulk get" API changes have been dropped.

Also, a pull request to document the "fail-needs-probe" status has been
sent: https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/pull/141

v2 continued Doug's "of: device: Support 2nd sources of probeable but
undiscoverable devices" [2] series, but follows the scheme suggested by
Rob, marking all second source component device nodes as "fail-needs-probe",
and having a hardware prober driver enable the one of them.

  - None

See v5 cover letter for previous change logs.

For the I2C component (touchscreens and trackpads) case from the
original series, the hardware prober driver finds the particular
class of device in the device tree, gets its parent I2C adapter,
and tries to initiate a simple I2C read for each device under that
I2C bus. When it finds one that responds, it considers that one
present, marks it as "okay", and returns, letting the driver core
actually probe the device.

This works fine in most cases since these components are connected
via a ribbon cable and always have the same resources. The prober
will also grab these resources and enable them.

The other case, selecting a display panel to use based on the SKU ID
from the firmware, hit a bit of an issue with fixing the OF graph.
It has been left out since v3.

Patch 1 adds of_changeset_update_prop_string(), as requested by Rob.

Patch 2 adds for_each_child_of_node_with_prefix(), as suggested by Andy.

Patches 3 through 4 reorganize the OF-specific regulator core code and
adds a new of_regulator_get_optional() function to look up regulator
supplies solely using device tree nodes.

Patch 5 cleans up some extra spaces in the i2c core Makefile

Patch 6 implements probing the I2C bus for presence of components as
a hookable helper function in the I2C core.

Patch 7 implements regulator supply support as a set of simple helpers
for the I2C component prober.

Patch 8 implements GPIO support for the I2C component prober simple
helpers.

Patch 9 adds a ChromeOS specific DT hardware prober. This initial
version targets the Hana Chromebooks, probing its I2C trackpads and
touchscreens.

Patch 10 modifies the Hana device tree and marks the touchscreens
and trackpads as "fail-needs-probe", ready for the driver to probe.


The patch and build time dependencies for this series is now quite
complicated:

  regulator cleanups in -next -> regulator patches here ----
							   |
							   v
  platform/chrome device tree hardware prober <--- i2c of-prober
 
The regulator patches in this series depend on other cleanup patches [1]
that are already in -next. Patches 6 through 8 introducting i2c of-prober
depend on the first 5 patches. Patch 11, The chrome prober, depends on
patch 6 for now.

I think it would be easier if the respective maintainers take the first
four patches for -rc1. Wolfram has agreed to take the remaining i2c and
chrome patches through the i2c tree once the other bits have landed,
Patch 12 can go in only after everything else is in. This should be
better than having an immutable branch on top of some commit in -next
for other trees to consume.

This might be the last revision I send out before ELCE / Plumbers, as
I'm traveling to Austria a few day earlier. If there are more concerns
about the design, maybe we could discuss it in person then if all
concerned parties are present.


Thanks

I think this patch makes sense on its own, but it of course up to Mark.

No need to duplicate the units as it's obvious from the variable name and msleep().

[03/10] regulator: Split up _regulator_get()
        commit: 2a1de5678944147c2a41b6006127d2d0b618e83b

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Presumably you want an "if (ctx->opts->post_power_on_delay_ms)" before
the call to msleep() since it doesn't check that for you.

Instead of the above, just:

return i2c_of_probe_simple_enable_regulator(dev, ctx);

I guess maybe you'd have to undo it in the next patch, but it does
make this patch stand by itself better..

Although I'd also say that if it were me I might just get rid of the
helpers and inline the stuff. The helpers don't _really_ add too much.
3 of the 4 callers are just simple wrappers of the helper and I don't
think it would be terrible to inline the last one. I guess with the
next patch when you add GPIOs it maybe makes more sense, but even then
it feels like a stretch to me. Anyway, feel free to ignore if you
want.

Maybe speculate here that the GPIO is often an enable or reset line?
Otherwise you leave the reader wondering what this mysterious GPIO is
for.

"o" sorts before "p" so "of" should sort before "privacy"?

I guess it's not exactly all sorted, but this small section is. Since
it's arbitrary you could preserve the existing sorting. :-P

The fact that the example is only using "dumb" probers doesn't make it
quite as a compelling proof that the code will scale up. Any chance
you could add something that requires a bit more oomph? ;-)

FWIW if you didn't want to see your prober called over and over again
if one of the devices deferred you could just register one device per
type, right? Then each device would be able to defer separately. Dunno
if it's worth it but figured I'd mention it...


Also: as a high level comment, this all looks much nicer to me now
that it's parameterized. :-)

To me it seemed more like they are just sorted in the order they were
added.

I only have a hacked up thing right now.

This is the one I'm using to test things:
http://git.kernel.org/wens/c/5c2c920429167a15b990a7cf8427705eec321134

About this one, it seems we can at least merge the device trees of
each product into just one. The touchscreen or trackpad (or lack thereof)
is probed by the kernel.


This one I only started looking into:
http://git.kernel.org/wens/c/42c21929aeb3c7ca7b0ce9cacb1d0ff915d3c783

About the second one, AFAIK the device tree descriptions are incomplete.
Only one of the trackpad options has the regulator supply described.
The regulator itself is marked as always on, so things currently work.
Some work will need to be put in to research the schematics and test
whether things do work correctly.

I think that adds some unnecessary complexity, and more lingering devices
in the system. These platform devices are not removed.

Thanks!

If we can make it more ordered I'm for it.

Just my 2c.
