Re: [PATCH 3/3] regulator: mcp16502: add regulator driver for MCP16502

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Mark,

Thank you for your review. While working on the next version I realized that
the implementation should change a bit. The mcp16502 PMIC has separate 
registers
for each of its operating modes (Performance, Active, Low-power, Hibernate).
So, it is possible to setup the values for Low-power (Linux standby) and
Hibernate (Linux suspend-to-ram) and these values would not be affected by
changes made during runtime (which are made to the ACTIVE registers).

This means that the calls to suspend_set_* are not necessary to be made each
time the board suspends. My idea is to add three functions to the 
regulator_ops
(setup_suspend_standby/mem/max) which would be called after the regulator is
registered and which would set the values found inside the devicetree
in the regulator-state-standby/mem/disk subnodes.

However, I am not sure whether this is in fact a good idea or which is 
the best
approach.

Other possible suggestions for this setup_suspend* functions:
- Break each function into smaller pieces(set_voltage, set_mode, 
enable/disable)
- Add support for regmap helpers, which would mean adding reg and mask 
members
   to regulator_desc. However, I am not sure which naming scheme you prefer
   (enable_suspend_mem_reg for example seems not to be a great idea). 
Perhaps use
   arrays (e.g. enable_suspend[] and index it via PM_SUSPEND_*)?


Best regards,
Andrei
