The pmbus core does not have operations for getting or setting voltage.
Add functions get/set voltage for the dynamic regulator framework.

Ok, you lost me here. This adds an inX_input attribute. Why ? This is completely
unrelated to the intended scope of this patch. It also doesn't report a measured
voltage, but a configuration value. If anything, it would have to be a separate
patch, and you'd have to argue hard why it makes sense to report it as measured
voltage.

I see. The reason for adding this is as simple as I now understand it is wrong.
Please remember, my first version of the set/get_voltage functions where hardcoded
with L16 input/output. Then in order to use the already existing convertion functions
pmbus_data2reg and pmbus_reg2data I added this only for the need of a sensor object,
as those functions are tailored for a sensor object.

So now I have to ask you for advice. Should I use the existing convertion
functions, or do you suggest new variants of them? If reusing them, I guess I have
two options:
  1: Modify them to take class, page, and data outside of a sensor object as input.
  2: Use them as they are, but create a local 'dummy' sensor object with class, page,
     and data to use when calling the convertion functions.


I think 2) is the easier and less complex solution for now.

I hope I made it more clear for you now how I was thinking. There is
absolutely no intention of having sensor inX_input attributes for
reading the setpoint values. This was just an unwanted sideeffect, and I
will glady remove it again.

No problem. Thanks for the explanation.

Same question. Why ?

Same reason as above. Only to get the sensor object for pmbus_reg2data.

That actually makes me wonder: What about VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH ?

Ok, I will add a check for VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH also.

Also, there are optional MFR_VOUT_MIN and MFR_VOUT_MAX registers.
Would it possibly make sense to determine the valid range once
during probe and then compare against it ?

Maybe this could be a good thing, so that we don't need to read both
margins every time. But I guess that would need a new kind of page list
with margins added to the pmbus_driver_info struct?
I would prefer to make that change in a separate patch if it's ok with
you?


I think you need to check for four values right now:

- Try to read MFR_VOUT_MIN. If that does not work, read VOUT_MARGIN_LOW.
- Same for high values.

Ultimately, yes, I think we should add a list of limits. I think it
would make more sense though to add the limits to a new regulator
specific data structure. Maybe we should create a separate data structure
for regulators. Right now we pass struct pmbus_data. Maybe we need
struct pmbus_regulator_data which would contain a pointer to
struct pmbus_data as well as additional information needed for
regulators.

Thanks,
Guenter
