In the IIO subsystem, we noticed a pattern in many drivers where we need to get, enable and get the voltage of a supply that provides a reference voltage. In these cases, we only need the voltage and not a handle to the regulator. Another common pattern is for chips to have an internal reference voltage that is used when an external reference is not available. There are also a few drivers outside of IIO that do the same. So we would like to propose a new regulator consumer API to handle these specific cases to avoid repeating the same boilerplate code in multiple drivers. As an example of how these functions are used, I have included a few patches to consumer drivers. But to avoid a giant patch bomb, I have omitted the iio/adc and iio/dac patches I have prepared from this series. I will send those separately but these will add 36 more users of devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() in addition to the 6 here. In total, this will eliminate nearly 1000 lines of similar code and will simplify writing and reviewing new drivers in the future. --- Changes in v2: - Reworked regulator patch to remove dev_err_probe() and properly unwind - Combined two proposed functions into a single function - Renamed function to devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() everywhere - Fixed other feedback on consumer patches (see individual patches) - Picked up Jonathan's Reviewed-bys (hopefully changes were trivial enough) - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240327-regulator-get-enable-get-votlage-v1-0-5f4517faa059@xxxxxxxxxxxx --- David Lechner (7): regulator: devres: add API for reference voltage supplies hwmon: (adc128d818) Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() hwmon: (da9052) Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() iio: addac: ad74115: Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() iio: frequency: admv1013: Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() staging: iio: impedance-analyzer: ad5933: Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() Input: mpr121: Use devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage() Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/devres.rst | 1 + drivers/hwmon/adc128d818.c | 57 +++++++---------------- drivers/hwmon/da9052-hwmon.c | 38 ++++----------- drivers/iio/addac/ad74115.c | 40 ++++++---------- drivers/iio/frequency/admv1013.c | 40 ++++------------ drivers/input/keyboard/mpr121_touchkey.c | 45 ++---------------- drivers/regulator/devres.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/staging/iio/impedance-analyzer/ad5933.c | 26 +---------- include/linux/regulator/consumer.h | 7 +++ 9 files changed, 124 insertions(+), 189 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 84c1815e46bdcb8bb0259db3d6cdd934cb70a0e9 change-id: 20240326-regulator-get-enable-get-votlage-5dedf40ff338
