Hi Jonathan,

given the complexity of the driver I am very happy you found the time!

Mostly that was to make me feel safer. I removed some; hope it is better now.

I actually had more function macros in the code, but I am getting a bit away 
from it after I noticed that it often just obfuscates the code. Only reason
for not removing the remaining the function macros is that I didn't find
a clean way to replace them with actual code or functions.

That is pretty much just to be able to clean up an entry. More see below.

Side note: that should really be a boolean. Will be fixed in next version.

Correct, and its only purpose is to be able to clean up the locally allocated
struct pmbus_driver_info. Other drivers may have static platform data, and thus
not have to clean it up.

Correct.

You are right, though that would require context information which is currently 
not exported from pmbus_core.c. Specifically, pmbus.c would need to know about
struct pmbus_data which is private to pmbus_core.c. I would prefer to keep it that way.

Maybe I could add an API call into pmbus_core.c to retrieve a pointer to pmbus_driver_info.
Do you think that would make sense ? I am a bit at odds with myself if the list or an
API function (or something else ?) would be better.

That is one place where it is really needed. Status codes are sticky, so if 
"PB_CML_FAULT_INVALID_COMMAND" was set for whatever reason, it would be reported
below even if the following access is ok.

Yes, excellent idea.

This one isn't strictly needed, though, so I removed it.

You mean the following test ? If both s1 and s2 are 0, the function 
returns the result of (status & mask). This is for all booleans 
which are created with pmbus_add_boolean_reg().

Otherwise, the result is determined by comparison as described above.

I'll add additional comments to describe this in more detail.

Not sure myself. val is composed of up to four individual parameters.
I'll name it idx.

There are no mandatory registers in PMBus, so I have no idea what a default
would or could be. Basic idea is that platform data (ie supported register groups)
is either determined via pmbus.c, or provided by a chip driver. If a chip driver
is not needed, pmbus.c should be sufficient and provides the necessary platform data.
An "empty" chip driver which does not provide platform data does not fit into this model.

Note that this is not platform_data (pdata), which is actually optional.
"info" is struct pmbus_driver_info; I would not call that simple.
