It doesn't get much more simple than this.
What's the purpose of abstracting it?

Okay, I lied, it does get more simple.
Seems like abstraction for the sake of abstraction here.
Feel free to try and convince me otherwise.
The main reason was that LMU MFD core provides consistent register
access among LMU drivers like ti-lmu-backlight, leds-lm3633,
lm363x-regulator and ti-lmu-fault-monitor('ti-lmu-hwmon' will be changed
to this in the 2nd patch).
However, LMU register helpers are exactly same as regmap interface
except using ti_lmu data structure. So let me replace them with regmap
functions. Thanks for pointing this out.
I just realized LMU MFD core helpers also provide module dependencies by
using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
# modprobe -D ti-lmu-backlight
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/base/regmap/regmap-i2c.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/ti-lmu-backlight.ko
# modprobe -D ti-lmu-fault-monitor
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/base/regmap/regmap-i2c.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu-fault-monitor.ko
# modprobe -D lm363x-regulator
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/base/regmap/regmap-i2c.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/regulator/lm363x-regulator.ko
# modprobe -D leds-lm3633
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/base/regmap/regmap-i2c.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu.ko
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/leds/leds-lm3633.ko
ti-lmu.ko should be loaded first because it has hardware enable pin
control code. Four other drivers have dependency on this module. Without
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), this dependency will be gone like below.
# modprobe -D ti-lmu-backlight
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/ti-lmu-backlight.ko
# modprobe -D ti-lmu-fault-monitor
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/mfd/ti-lmu-fault-monitor.ko
# modprobe -D lm363x-regulator
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/regulator/lm363x-regulator.ko
# modprobe -D leds-lm3633
insmod /lib/modules/<ver>/kernel/drivers/leds/leds-lm3633.ko
If LMU MFD core module is not loaded and other modules call regmap
helpers, then loaded drivers will not work because hardware is not
enabled yet.
So I'd like to keep LMU MFD helpers for module dependencies.
Additionally, I'll modify 'ti_lmu_read_byte()' as follows.
int ti_lmu_read_byte(struct ti_lmu *lmu, u8 reg, u8 *read)
{
return regmap_read(lmu->regmap, reg, (unsigned int *)read);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ti_lmu_read_byte);
Please let me know if you have better idea.
Best regards,
Milo
