[PATCH v2 00/10] Add per channel properies support in tmp421

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

 



Hi,

This series adds support for defining per-channel properies (like
n-factor and label) to the TMP421 driver. It starts by adding the
missing DT binding for tmp421, in the form that was there before any of
my changes. Then I do the changes to the driver and finally adjust the
bindings to my changes.

The precedence for this case is:
[PATCH v9 2/2] hwmon: (ina3221) Read channel input source info from DT
Which can be found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/2/136

My patches does similar thing but to tmp422 - we need a way to define
the labels for specific channels as well as to define the n-factor (that
is board specific as it depends on the diodes used for remote sensing).
A possibility to disable unused channels seems like a good idea too.

Here comes V2. Changes compared to v1:
- renamed tmp421.yaml to ti,tmp421.yaml
- fixed sparse warnings about making function declarations static
- changed the policy for broken DT - in case of errors, the probe will
  return an error instead of continuing
- in addition to disabling the channels specified in DT, the probe
  function will also enable all the others in case they were disabled by
  some other code earlier
  NOTE: this may be a backwards incompatible change - if some channels
  were disabled by some bootloader code previously the channels would
  stay like that and now they would be enabled during probe, even if
  nothing is specified in DT. Is this what we want?
- added support for HWMON_T_ENABLE
- updated documentation
- NOTE: I haven't changed anything related to DT as the discussion has
  no clear conclusion yet.
