The most important thing is that platform_get_resource{_by_name}(&pdev,
IORESOURCE_REG, n) returns the reg property and optional size encoded
into a struct resource. I think Rob is suggesting we circumvent the
entire of_address_to_resource() path and do some if
(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) && type == IORESOURCE_REG) check in
platform_get_resource() to package up the reg property into a struct
resource. That should work.
It sounds like you think partially translating addresses is risky
though. Fair enough. Perhaps we should call WARN() if someone tries to
call platform_get_resource() with IORESOURCE_REG and the parent node has
a ranges property that isn't a one-to-one conversion. That way if we
want to do something like this we can.
pmic@0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <0>;
regulators {
ranges;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
regulator@40 {
reg = <0x40>;
};
regulator@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
}
};
};
