But answering your question it is to instantiate the subdevices that can be child nodes of either cros-ec-spi or cros-ec-i2c. So for the devices that are directly connected to the EC Cortex-M through i2c. > In particular I'm wondering whether that would help with the tps65090 on > Spring? It's a "power-regulator" sub-node of cros-ec in 3.8. > Spring is a little more complicated since the EC in Spring don't have the full EC_CMD_I2C_PASSTHRU. So the downstream Chrome OS 3.8 kernel has a forked tps65090 driver (drivers/regulator/cros_ec-tps65090.c) that talks directly with the cros_ec MFD driver, you can get more info from [1] in the "About Spring" section. > Thanks, > Andreas > Best regards, Javier [0]: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=8060098bbb564d27a287057a93d4fe3bfd266290 [1]: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=391797 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
