2014-05-15mfd: vexpress: Define the device as MFD cellsPawel Moll
This patch - finally, after over 6 months! :-( - addresses Samuel's request to split the vexpress-sysreg driver into smaller portions and define the device in a form of MFD cells: * LEDs code has been completely removed and replaced with "gpio-leds" nodes in the tree (referencing dedicated GPIO subnodes in sysreg - bindings documentation updated); this also better fits the reality as some variants of the motherboard don't have all the LEDs populated * syscfg bridge code has been extracted into a separate driver (placed in drivers/misc for no better place) * all the ID & MISC registers are defined as sysconf making them available for other drivers should they need to use them (and also to the user via /sys/kernel/debug/regmap which can be helpful in platform debugging) Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Acked-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
2014-05-15mfd: vexpress: Convert custom func API to regmapPawel Moll
Components of the Versatile Express platform (configuration microcontrollers on motherboard and daughterboards in particular) talk to each other over a custom configuration bus. They provide miscellaneous functions (from clock generator control to energy sensors) which are represented as platform devices (and Device Tree nodes). The transactions on the bus can be generated by different "bridges" in the system, some of which are universal for the whole platform (for the price of high transfer latencies), others restricted to a subsystem (but much faster). Until now drivers for such functions were using custom "func" API, which is being replaced in this patch by regmap calls. This required: * a rework (and move to drivers/bus directory, as suggested by Samuel and Arnd) of the config bus core, which is much simpler now and uses device model infrastructure (class) to keep track of the bridges; non-DT case (soon to be retired anyway) is simply covered by a special device registration function * the new config-bus driver also takes over device population, so there is no need for special matching table for of_platform_populate nor "simple-bus" hack in the arm64 model dtsi file (relevant bindings documentation has been updated); this allows all the vexpress devices fit into normal device model, making it possible to remove plenty of early inits and other hacks in the near future * adaptation of the syscfg bridge implementation in the sysreg driver, again making it much simpler; there is a special case of the "energy" function spanning two registers, where they should be both defined in the tree now, but backward compatibility is maintained in the code * modification of the relevant drivers: * hwmon - just a straight-forward API change * power/reset driver - API change * regulator - API change plus error handling simplification * osc clock driver - this one required larger rework in order to turn in into a standard platform driver Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Acked-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org> Acked-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Acked-by: Mike Turquette <mturquette@linaro.org>

2012-11-05mfd: Versatile Express system registers driverPawel Moll
This is a platform driver for Versatile Express' "system register" block. It's a random collection of registers providing the following functionality: - low level platform functions like board ID access; in order to use those, the driver must be initialized early, either statically or based on the DT - config bus bridge via "system control" interface; as the response from the controller does not generate interrupt (yet), the status register is periodically polled using a timer - pseudo GPIO lines providing MMC card status and Flash WP# signal control - LED interface for a set of 8 LEDs on the motherboard, with "heartbeat", "mmc0" and "cpu0" to "cpu5" as default triggers Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com>
