The TDA38640 chip has different output control mechanisms depending on
its mode of operation. When the chip is in SVID mode, only
hardware-based output control is supported via ENABLE pin. However, when
it operates in PMBus mode, software control works perfectly.
To enable software control as a workaround in SVID mode, add the DT
property 'infineon,en-svid-control'. This property will enable the
workaround, which utilizes ENABLE pin polarity flipping for output when
the chip is in SVID mode.
Why do you need a custom property for this? How come it is not possible
to determine what bus you are on?
That is not the point. Yes, it can be detected if the control method is
PMBus or SVID. However, in SVID mode, SVID is supposed to control the
output, not PMBUs. This is bypassed by controlling the polarity of the
(physical) output enable signal. We do _not_ want this enabled automatically
in SVID mode. Its side effects on random boards using this chip are unknown.
Thus, this needs a property which specifically enables this functionality
for users who _really_ need to use it and (hopefully) know what they are
doing.
