First let me clarify that the main purpose of this patch, we introduced this patch mainly because if some HW IP is having secondary compatibility as "syscon", syscon driver was getting probed and since there can be only on platform_device corresponding to one device_node, actual driver corresponding to that HW IP was not getting probed. So we wanted to decouple syscon from platform device, and any such driver should be able to become syscon provider. Please see discussion here [1]. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/17/331 But while doing so eventually this patch was also able to cover the feature of early availability of syscon lookup APIs. As both of you pointed out that if we use "of_find_device_by_node" and it won't work for early users of syscon. I also agree with that, but it just skipped from my mind while suggesting that approach. I reconsidered again and made following changes and tested it. Now I am able to use syscon_lookup_by_xxxxx APIs, very early (before dt_machine_init) as well as after of_platform_populate. So please review and if it is acceptable I will post next version of this patch. Basic idea is, check for device_node pointer in of_syscon_register, if device corresponding to that device_node is already populated and available use "of_find_device_by_node" else create a dummy platform device and then use it. ---------- static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct device_node *np) { + struct platform_device *pdev = NULL; struct syscon *syscon; struct regmap *regmap; void __iomem *base; + struct platform_device dummy_pdev = { + .name = "dummy-syscon", + .id = -1, + }; + if (!of_device_is_compatible(np, "syscon")) return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); @@ -141,8 +149,22 @@ static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct device_node *np) base = of_iomap(np, 0); if (!base) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + + if (!of_device_is_available(np) || + of_node_test_and_set_flag(np, OF_POPULATED)) { + /* if device is already populated and avaiable then use it */ + pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np); + if (!(&pdev->dev)) + return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); + + regmap = regmap_init_mmio(&pdev->dev, base, &syscon_regmap_config); + } else { + /* for early users let's create dummy syscon device and use it */ + device_initialize(&dummy_pdev.dev); + dummy_pdev.dev.of_node = np; + regmap = regmap_init_mmio(&dummy_pdev.dev, base, &syscon_regmap_config); + } - regmap = regmap_init_mmio(NULL, base, &syscon_regmap_config); if (IS_ERR(regmap)) { pr_err("regmap init failed\n"); return ERR_CAST(regmap); -- Thanks, Pankaj Dubey > Regards > Dong Aisheng > > > > > Thanks, > > > > BRs > > Xiubo > > > > > > > Regards > > > Dong Aisheng > > > > > > > And also we must make sure that the 'syscon' DT nodes has the > > > > compatible > > > prop. > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > BRs > > > > Xiubo > > > > > > > > > > > > > Regards > > > > > Dong Aisheng > > > > > > > > > > > ---- > > > > > > static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct device_node > > > > > > *np) { > > > > > > + struct platform_device *pdev; > > > > > > struct syscon *syscon; > > > > > > struct regmap *regmap; > > > > > > void __iomem *base; > > > > > > @@ -142,7 +144,11 @@ static struct syscon > > > > > > *of_syscon_register(struct device_node *np) > > > > > > if (!base) > > > > > > return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); > > > > > > > > > > > > - regmap = regmap_init_mmio(NULL, base, &syscon_regmap_config); > > > > > > + pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np); > > > > > > + if (!(&pdev->dev)) > > > > > > + return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); > > > > > > + > > > > > > + regmap = regmap_init_mmio(&pdev->dev, base, > > > &syscon_regmap_config); > > > > > > if (IS_ERR(regmap)) { > > > > > > pr_err("regmap init failed\n"); > > > > > > return ERR_CAST(regmap); > > > > > > ------- > > > > > > > > > > > > I have tested this in linux-next and it works well.
