Any particular choice of ordering (different than alphabetical)?
Thank you for the review.
I chose this ordering because it emphasizes the fact that tps6593 and
lp8764x
are derivatives of tps6594 : tps6593 is nearly the same (a minor feature
is not
supported), and lp8764x has less resources (less bucks/LDO, and no RTC).
Besides, a multi-PMIC synchronization scheme is implemented in the PMIC
device
to synchronize the power state changes with other PMIC devices. This is done
through a SPMI bus : the master PMIC is the controller device on the
SPMI bus,
and the slave PMICs are the target devices on the SPMI bus. For the 5 boards
we work on (for which device trees will be sent in another patch series):
- tps6594 is used on 3 boards and is always master (multi-PMIC config)
- tps6593 is used on 1 board and is master (single-PMIC config)
- lp8764x is used on 2 boards and is always slave (multi-PMIC config)
There might not be situations in which lp8764x would be master and tps6594
or tps6593 would be slave.
That's why I preferred this ordering.
Do you think that alphabetical order would be better ?

Hm, why different boards would like to enable or disable it? Why this
suits DT?
You're right. Reading your comment, it appears to me that CRC feature is
not fully
related to HW description and should not be set in DT.
CRC is not 'fully' related to HW, but...
For CRC feature as well, PMICs are synchronized (for boards with
multi-PMIC config).
To use CRC mode, this feature must be requested explicitly on the master
PMIC
through I2C or SPI driver, then it is enabled for the slave PMICs
through SPMI bus: that
sync is performed 'automatically', without intervention from the I2C or
SPI driver to
enable CRC on slave PMICs.
As a consequence, CRC feature is enabled for all PMICs at I2C/SPI driver
probe,
or it is let disabled for all PMICs. But it can't be enabled for one
PMIC and disabled
for another one.
This will probably rediscussed for I2C/SPI drivers, but do you think
that a 'use_crc'
driver parameter would be an acceptable solution ? If so, the master
PMIC would have
to be identified, so that the driver can explicitly enable CRC mode for
this one if
'use_crc' is true. With this solution, some 'ti,is-master;' bool
property would be necessary.

You could add here - on this level - of indentation allOf:if for
excluding setups
if:
required:
- buck12
then:
properties:
buck123: false
buck1234: false
Or, if you want to require regulator then:
oneOf:
- required:
- buck12
- required:
- buck123
- required:
- buck1234
and anyway exclude buck34 with two above.
I am not sure that we have the same understanding of the multi-phase setup.
Maybe the description I wrote is not clear enough (?) Or I just don't
understand
what you mean exactly.
How would you combine outputs of bucks 3 and 4 ?
We use 'buck34' property to mean that:
- buck1 output is mono-phase,
- buck2 output is mono-phase,
- buck3 and buck4 outputs are combined (i.e. multi-phases).
This weird configuration is supported by these PMICs.
Using a PMIC without using the provided regulators does not seem very
interesting
indeed.
But strictly speaking, these regulators are not required. One could use
some others
resources provided by the PMIC (the Error Signal Monitor device for
instance).
Besides, multi-phase mode depends on the chosen design and is not
required for
all situations.
