Support GPO(s) found from ROHM BD71815 power management IC. The IC has two
GPO pins but only one is properly documented in data-sheet. The driver
exposes by default only the documented GPO. The second GPO is connected to
E5 pin and is marked as GND in data-sheet. Control for this undocumented
pin can be enabled using a special DT property.

This driver is derived from work by Peter Yang <yanglsh@embest-tech.com>
although not so much of original is left.

Ah, yep, when you switch to unified device property API, you would
need property.h and mod_devicetable.h instead of this.

Thank you for the review. I appreciate your help although I don't
always agree necessity regarding all of the styling suggestions :) I
did not respond here to the suggestions I agreed with.

As Linus pointed out, few of the ROHM drivers should be revised for
regmap_gpio usage in near future. I will definitely go through all the
comments at that point if there is no reason to respin series earlier.

This is an opinion, but to me !!(val & BIT(offset)) looks more
confusing. I don't see the benefit from the change.

Do you mean re-naming the e5_pin_is_gpo to valid_mask? Or do you mean
some GPIO framework internal feature allowing to define valid pins? (If
my memory serves me right one can set invalid pins from DT - but by
default all pins are valid and here we want to invalidate a pin by
default). For renaming I don't see the value - if internal feature can
be used then there may be value. Thanks for the pointer, I'll look what
I find.

I don't like doing the assignment before we check if the operation is
valid. And, making assignments which are not plain constants in
declaration make reading the declaration much harder.

I think there used to be compilers which didn't like having the return
inside a block - even if the block was a default. I also prefer seeing
return at the end of function which should return a value.

What is the added value here? I understand alphabetical sorting - it
helps looking if particular entry is included. I also understand type-
based sorting. But reverse Xmas tree? I thin I have heard it eases
reading declarations - which is questionable in this case. Double so
when you also suggest moving assignments to declaration block which
makes it _much_ harder to read? I won't change this unless it is
mandated by the maintainers.

It is not always obvious (especially for someone not reading MFD driver
code frequently) why we use parent device for some things and the
device being probed to some other stuff. Typically this is not needed
if the device is not MFD sub-device. And again, the comments in the
middle of declaration block look confusing to me. I think removing
comments and moving these to declaration make readability _much_ worse.

Out of the curiosity - is there any other reason but ACPI? ACPI support
can be added later if needed. I still think you're correct. This is
definitely one of the points that fall in the category of things "I
must consider as a good practice for (my) new contribution". So I try
to keep this in mind in the future.

So I can nowadays just omit this? Thanks!

Hm. I think you're right. The print does not add much value here.

This driver was also supporting another IC (BD71817) - but as far as I
know the BD71817 is no longer used too much so I dropped it. The ID
table was left with this one entry only. I will see if this is any more
needed. Thanks.

I always try to find a compromise between two: your own style and
common practice used in the subsystem in question. AFAIR my proposal
is (recommended?) style for new code.

I mean to utilize internal valid_mask bitmap. Yes, you may fill it as
valid at the start of the driver and then simply call __clear_bit() /
clear_bit() against one you wanted to disable. Then core will take
care of the rest (AFAIR).

I prefer less LOCs in the file when it makes sense. And here you seem
appealing to compilers from last century.

Compare to:

       struct bd71815_gpio *g;
       struct device *parent;
       struct device *dev;
       int ret;

It's easier to read, esp. taking into account that ret is going last.
It seems to me more natural, so we have a disagreement here, but I'm
not a maintainer, it's up to them.

I disagree with you here again. To me it's like completely unneeded churn.

We might have another property provider (by the fact we already have
the third one, but it's a specific one, called software nodes).

Yes, but doing something OF centric which might have been used on
non-OF platforms is to do double effort and waste time and resources.

For a long time. I haven't checked the date when it started like this,
but couple of years sounds like a good approximation.

Yes, but in that case you have to have driver data to differentiate
the chips, right? Otherwise for platform drivers this makes a little
sense b/c it effectively repeats .name from gpo_bd71815_driver.

Right. I see there is the init_valid_mask callback which could be
populated. OTOH, I think this check is actually not needed at all if we
set the ngpios based on the DT flag. The check in set/get functions was
just a symptom of my paranoia. Anyways, I owe you as I just learned
something new :)

I've seen even experienced developers making mistakes by binding the
lifetime of sub-device stuff to parent device's lifetime. I've also
seen even experienced developers who haven't used to dealing with MFD
getting confused when they see parent device's dt-node or regmap being
used. My view on this is that if the comment helps next reader to avoid
a mistake or understand why something is done - then it is worthy. I
have rarely seen comments which make code less readable or
understandable.

So, v5.13-rc1 is out. I started wondering the gpio_regamap - and same
question persists. Why hiding the gpio_chip from gpio_regmap users?

Current IF makes it very hard (impossible?) for driver to override any
of the regmap_gpio functions (or provide own alternatives) for cases
which do not fit the generic regmap_gpio model.

My first obstacle is providing gpio_chip.set_config for BD71815.

1) I guess the method fitting current design would be adding drive-mode 
register/mask(s) to the gpio_regmap_config. Certainly doable - but I
have a bad feeling of this approach. I am afraid this leads to bloating
the gpio_regmap_config with all kinds of IC specific workarounds (when
HW designers have invented new cool control registers setups) - or then
just not using the regmap_gpio for any ICs which have any quirks - even
if 90% of regmap_gpio logic would fit...

2) Other possibility is allowing IC driver to provide function pointers
for some operations (in my case for example for the set_config) - if
the default operation the regmap_gpio provides does not fit the IC.
This would require the regmap_gpio to be visible to IC drivers so that
IC drivers can access the regmap, device & register information - or
some way to convert the gpio_chip pointer to IC specific private data
pointer. Doable but still slightly bloat.

3) The last option would be adding pointer to regmap_gpio to gpio_chip
- and exporting the regmap_gpio functions as helpers - leaving the gpio
registration to be done by the IC driver. That would allow IC driver to
use the regmap_gpio helpers which suit the IC and write own functions
for rest of the stuff.

I'd like to hear opinions - should I draft some changes according to
these proposals (which one, 1,2,3 or something else?) - or as this all
been already discussed and am I just missing something?

In general to me this sounds like opening a window for
non-controllable changes vs. controllable. Besides that, struct
gpio_chip has more than a few callbacks. On top of that, opening this
wide window means you won't be able to stop or refactoring become a
burden. I would be on the stricter side here.

I kind of fail to see your point Andy. Or yes, I know exposing the
gpio_chip to user allows much more flexibility. But what are the
options? What would a driver developer do when his HW does almost fir
the standard regmap_gpio - but not just quite? Say that for example the
changing of gpio direction requires some odd additional register access
- but other than that the regmap_gpio operations like setting/getting
the value, IRQ options etc. fitted the regmap_gpio logic.

If he can not override this one function - then he will need to write
wholly new GPIO driver without re-using any of the regmap-gpio stuff.
You know, if one can't use regmap-gpio, he's likely to use the already
exposed gpio_chip anyways. I'd say this is much more of a pain to
maintain. Or maybe you add another work-around option in the
gpio_regmap_config to indicate this (and every other) oddball HW -
which eventually leads to a mess.

But this is all just my thinking - I'm kind of a "bystander" here and
that's why I asked for opinions. Thanks for sharing yours, Andy. I do
appreciate all the help and discussion.

I was trying to describe here the approach that has been taken in use
at the regulator subsystem - which has used the regmap helpers for
quite a while. I think that approach is scaling quite Ok even for
strange HW.

I tend to agree with Andy. Keep in mind that gpio-regmap was intended
to catch all the simple and similar controllers.

That being said, I'd still like to see new users. I've had a look
at existing drivers myself some time ago and determined that there
are quirks here and there which prevent porting that driver to
gpio-regmap, see for example gpio-mpc8xxx.c, there is a workaround
for some specific SoC which caches some values in the driver.

If we make this gpio-regmap more like a library where users can
just pick the functions they need, I fear that in the end it is
nearly impossible to change such a function because you'll always
break one or another user. But that is just a gut feeling.

Agreed, if possible, I'd not like to see options just for one
obscure HW.

Yes. In reality we have pretty limited amount of HW which has no quirks
or special things.

I am proposing we keep these exported helpers as simple as possible.
When we allow users to use only functions that fit their HW - and write
own functions for HW requiring quirks - then we can indeed catch all
simple and similar controllers - and simple and similar controllers
only. This should allow keeping these functions clean and well defined
in the end :) This should also mean easier to change.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the regulators but:
The exported helpers are in

drivers/regulator/helpers.c

These helpers can change/list voltages, enable/disable reguators etc.
based on the hardware (register) descritpion given at regulator
registration phase in struct regulator_desc (at
include/regulator/driver.h)

Each driver can fill the description according to it's own HW and use
the provided helpers where suitable (by giving the ops at regulator
registration, see struct regulator_ops, also at driver.h). Or, if the
provided helpers are not useful, user can just write own functions.

If this was brought to GPIO world, it would seem like the gpio_regmap
was not separate GPIO-driver but collection of exported helpers which
use the HW description information embedded in GPIO core.

Let's open the ROHM regulator drivers (which I happen to know :]) as an
example of a driver which uses both the helpers as such, and for some
cases own functions:

bd70528-regulator.c (ramp-delay is not handled by helpers, but it
probably could now when we added ramp-delay helper.)
bd71815-regulator.c (bucks 1 & 2  have special voltage-configuration
cases)
The upstream driver for BD71828 uses only standard helpers - but that's
just because it does not expose all HW features. Vendor driver provides
a 'run-level' specific control options - and can't use standard
functions for all operations.
bd718x7-regulator.c: The regulators require special handling when
voltage is changed (if regulators are enabled). And for some BD71837
bucks this is not allowed at all because change may cause voltage
spikes. So yes - mixture of standard ops and own code is again needed.

So, when looking at this which is kind of an analogy - All of the ROHM
regulator drivers use generic helper code - which saves code and helps
avoiding bugs - but all of them also need(ed) some own code to provide
proper support. If the regulator framework had used as strict policy as
gpio_regmap - then none of the ROHM regulators could use the standard
framework code. I believe pretty many other drivers have same kind of
mixtures. And still, the helpers code has been modified quite a bit
during the last three years I've followed it.

I've spent last 3 years writing mostly the PMIC code - so maybe this
explains my view on the gpio_regmap design :]

It may be the GPIO HW is not _as_ bad with the quirks - but as you
propably have found out already, quite many GPIO drivers have some
quirks which do not fit the gpio_regmap even if some parts would...
This is exactly the point I am addressing here :)
