So, would you like to accept the generic solution like below:
- Create a generic power sequence driver, and it will be probed
according to compatible string at device tree. At its probe,
we can create a power sequence structure, and let this structure
as the private data for this power sequence device.
struct pwrseq
{
(*on) (struct pwrseq *);
(*off) (struct pwrseq *);
...
};
At power sequence driver ->probe
{
pwrseq = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*pwrseq), GFP_KERNEL);
pwrseq->on = generic_pwrseq_on(pwrseq);
pwrseq->on = generic_pwrseq_off(pwrseq);
dev_set_drvdata(dev, pwrseq);
}
- At device driver which need to use power sequence operation
- Get the node according to phandle, and get its private data
accordingly. The driver can assign its pwrseq to its structure
or not.
- The driver can call its pwrseq->on and pwrseq->off
accordingly.
