[PATCH 0/8] dt-bindings: mfd: syscon: Document more compatibles and require simpe-mfd description

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

 



Hi,

Dependency
==========
Depends on https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240510123018.3902184-1-robh@xxxxxxxxxx
because it touches the same lines.

Merging
=======
1. Bindings: preferrably everything via MFD tree (file/context dependencies).
2. DTS: via subarch maintainers (no dependencies).

Description/problem
===================
Simple syscon nodes can be documented in common syscon.yaml, however
devices with simple-mfd compatible, thus some children, should have
their own schema listing these children.  Such listing makes the binding
specific, allows better validation (so the incorrect child would not
appear in the simple-mfd node) and actually enforces repeated rule for
simple-mfd devices:

  "simple-mfd" is only for simple devices, where the children do not
  depend on the parent.

Currently the syscon+simple-mfd binding is quite broad and allows
any child or property, thus above rule cannot be enforced.

Solution
========
1. Split the syscon.yaml binding into common syscon properties, used
   potentially by many bindings, and only simple syscon devices (NO
   simple-mfd!).
2. Move some known simple-mfd bindings from syscon.yaml to dedicated
   files.

This patchset might introduce new dtbs_check warnings for devices having
simple-mfd and being part of syscon.yaml previously. I fixed some of
them, but probably not all.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
