Being really pick here, but I2C should be capitalized in free-form text. There are a few other places where the comment applies. > +Required properties: > +- compatible: i2c-arbitrator That seems pretty generic.

Is it worth using two separate properties here, so they each get a unique name. That way, nobody has the remember which order the two GPIOs come in. > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-arbitrator.c b/drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-arbitrator.c > +enum { > + I2C_ARB_GPIO_AP, /* AP claims i2c bus */ > + I2C_ARB_GPIO_EC, /* EC claims i2c bus */ > + > + I2C_ARB_GPIO_COUNT, > +}; Oh, I see from later code that those are indices into the bus-arbitration-gpios DT property. I thought they were states in some state machine at first. A comment might help here, if you continue to use one property. > +static int i2c_arbitrator_select(struct i2c_adapter *adap, void *data, u32 chan) > +{ > + const struct i2c_arbitrator_data *arb = data; > + unsigned long stop_retry, stop_time; > + > + /* Start a round of trying to claim the bus */ > + stop_time = jiffies + usecs_to_jiffies(arb->wait_free_us) + 1; > + do { > + /* Indicate that we want to claim the bus */ > + gpio_set_value(arb->ap_gpio, 0); The GPIO signals appear to be active low in the code. Instead, I think it'd make more sense to extract the polarity of the GPIO from DT, using of_get_named_gpio_flags(). > +static int i2c_arbitrator_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > + /* Request GPIOs */ > + ret = of_get_named_gpio(np, "bus-arbitration-gpios", I2C_ARB_GPIO_AP); > + if (gpio_is_valid(ret)) { > + arb->ap_gpio = ret; > + ret = gpio_request_one(arb->ap_gpio, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH, > + "bus-arbitration-ap"); > + } > + if (WARN_ON(ret)) > + goto ap_request_failed; you could use devm_gpio_request_one() and save some cleanup logic. > + /* Arbitration parameters */ > + if (of_property_read_u32(np, "bus-arbitration-slew-delay-us", > + &arb->slew_delay_us)) > + arb->slew_delay_us = 10; The DT binding document says that property is required. Either the code should error out here, or the document updated to indicate that the properties are optional, and specify what the defaults are. > +static int i2c_arbitrator_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) > + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); You shouldn't have to do that; nothing should care what the pdata value is while the device isn't probed anyway. > +static int __init i2c_arbitrator_init(void) > +{ > + return platform_driver_register(&i2c_arbitrator_driver); > +} > +subsys_initcall(i2c_arbitrator_init); > + > +static void __exit i2c_arbitrator_exit(void) > +{ > + platform_driver_unregister(&i2c_arbitrator_driver); > +} > +module_exit(i2c_arbitrator_exit); You should be able to replace all that with: module_platform_driver(&i2c_arbitrator_driver); > +MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); The header says GPL v2 only, so "GPL v2". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
