Hi Arnd
My apologies for the late reply, I was moved to other work items. I
wanted to get more clarification on the syscon issue so that I can
submit the next patch set. If I understand correctly, you would like
me to move the CRMU logic to a new driver under mfd/ and use the syscon
api calls in my rtc driver? Thanks
It depends a lot on what's in there, I can best advise you if you
have some form of register list.
A common approach would be to not have a driver for the crmu at all,
but just mark it as syscon, and have the other drivers either reference
the syscon node through a phandle, or create them as childrem of
the syscon node. The latter case makes most sense if all uses of
the crmu have no other MMIO registers.
Thank you Arnd, I am going to follow the approach of adding a child node
to the syscon node. Several other driver use other registers in the CRMU
so I think the child node approach makes the most sense.
Just to be sure we have the same understanding: of those other drivers,
do you think that they would use only CRMU registers, or could there
be drivers that have both CRMU as well as other MMIO registers?
The other drivers have both CRMU and other MMIO registers. So I thought
they could also switch to using the syscon child nodes.
