This series includes few logical sets that bring a support of non-ACPI
platforms for Intel Skylake.

First part is a refactoring of built-in device properties support:
- keep single value inside the structure
- provide helper macros to define built-in properties
- fall back to secondary fwnode if primary has no asked property

Second is a propagating built-in device properties in platform core.

Third one is modifications to MFD code and intel-lpss.c driver in particular
to define and pass built-in properties to the individual drivers.

And last part is a fix for I2C bug found on Lenovo Yoga hardware and a first
converted user.

Built-in device properties is an alternative to platform data. It provides a
unified API that drivers can use to cover all cases at once: DT, ACPI, and
built-in properties.

With this series applied a platform data can be considered obsolete. Moreover,
built-in device properties allow to adjust the existing configuration, for
example, in cases when ACPI values are wrong on some platforms.

The series has been tested on available hardware and doesn't break current
behaviour. But we ask people who have the affected hardware to apply the series
on your side and check with Lenovo hardware.

Changelog v2:
- fix isuues found by kbuild bot (kbuild)
- append a patch to propagate device properties in polatform code (Arnd)
- update few existing and add couple of new patches due to above
- check with kmemleak

Andy Shevchenko (9):
     device property: always check for fwnode type
     device property: rename helper functions
     device property: refactor built-in properties support
     device property: keep single value inplace
     device property: improve readability of macros
     device property: return -EINVAL when property isn't found in ACPI
     device property: Fallback to secondary fwnode if primary misses the
       property
     mfd: core: propagate device properties to sub devices drivers
     mfd: intel-lpss: Pass HSUART configuration via properties

Heikki Krogerus (1):
     device property: helper macros for property entry creation

Mika Westerberg (6):
     device property: Take a copy of the property set
     driver core: platform: Add support for built-in device properties
     driver core: Do not overwrite secondary fwnode with NULL if it is set
     mfd: intel-lpss: Add support for passing device properties
     mfd: intel-lpss: Pass SDA hold time to I2C host controller driver
     i2c: designware: Convert to use unified device property API

I'm going to queue up this series for v4.5.

If there are any problems with it or objections from anyone, please let me know.



Raising an old thread, I pulled this series into Fedora rawhide and
while it worked for Lenovo Yoga we received a report that it caused
a regression on the Dell Inspiron 7559 (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1275718#c27) . I haven't
asked the reporter about bisecting to see which patch broke it.
Were there any known follow up patches?

There were a few.

All of them are in my linux-next branch if you can try this one.

Alternatively, I can expose a branch with these to you to test.


I picked up all the patches from the device-properties merge but the
problem still shows up. Are there others I should pick up? Hardware
details about the touchpad are at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1275718#c34

Well, in that case can you please ask the reporter to bisect?

Rafael


I'll see if I can help the reporter bisect although it looks like Hans
has an idea about what might be failing.

Nope, sorry if I left the impression that I have an idea where things are failing.

Benjamin Tissoires latest reply in this thread (or was it in bugzilla ?) however
seems to point in the right direction, as with this patch-set the i2c controller
on the laptop in question starts working (as intended by this patch-set) and then
i2c-hid tries to talk to the touchpad, but fails too. However it gets far enough
for the touchpad to drop of the ps/2 bus.

So what seems to be happening is that this is a dual protocol / bus (ps2 / i2c)
touchpad (not that uncommon actually) and now that we've the i2c bus working due
to this patchset, we start talking i2c to the touchpad, kicking it from ps2 mode
to i2c mode, but our i2c driver then fails to work properly with the touchpad
leaving it non functional.

Regards,

Hans

Thanks for clarifying. I'm going to see if I can help the reporter bisect.
It may take a few days.

Thanks,
Laura
