regulator: Defer init completion for a while after late_initcall

2019-10-05T13:12:24+00:00

commit 55576cf1853798e86f620766e23b604c9224c19c upstream. The kernel has no way of knowing when we have finished instantiating drivers, between deferred probe and systems that build key drivers as modules we might be doing this long after userspace has booted. This has always been a bit of an issue with regulator_init_complete since it can power off hardware that's not had it's driver loaded which can result in user visible effects, the main case is powering off displays. Practically speaking it's not been an issue in real systems since most systems that use the regulator API are embedded and build in key drivers anyway but with Arm laptops coming on the market it's becoming more of an issue so let's do something about it. In the absence of any better idea just defer the powering off for 30s after late_initcall(), this is obviously a hack but it should mask the issue for now and it's no more arbitrary than late_initcall() itself. Ideally we'd have some heuristics to detect if we're on an affected system and tune or skip the delay appropriately, and there may be some need for a command line option to be added.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs: - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on. - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos, and one on Spectre vulnerabilities. - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I will never understand, were of the opinion that :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type. - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4. - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (129 commits) docs: automarkup.py: ignore exceptions when seeking for xrefs docs: Move binderfs to admin-guide Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML output doc: RCU callback locks need only _bh, not necessarily _irq docs: format kernel-parameters -- as code Doc : doc-guide : Fix a typo platform: x86: get rid of a non-existent document Add the RCU docs to the core-api manual Documentation: RCU: Add TOC tree hooks Documentation: RCU: Rename txt files to rst Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU UP systems to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU linked list to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU basic concepts to reST docs: filesystems: Remove uneeded .rst extension on toctables scripts/sphinx-pre-install: fix out-of-tree build docs: zh_CN: submitting-drivers.rst: Remove a duplicated Documentation/ Documentation: PGP: update for newer HW devices Documentation: Add section about CPU vulnerabilities for Spectre Documentation: platform: Delete x86-laptop-drivers.txt docs: Note that :c:func: should no longer be used ...

regulator: implement selector stepping

2019-07-04T16:07:25+00:00

Some regulators require that the requested voltage be reached gradually by setting all or some of the intermediate values. Implement a new field in the regulator description struct that allows users to specify the number of selectors by which the regulator API should step when ramping the voltage up/down.

regulator: core: Introduce API for regulators coupling customization

2019-06-25T11:15:32+00:00

Right now regulator core supports only one type of regulators coupling, the "voltage max-spread" which keeps voltages of coupled regulators in a given range from each other. A more sophisticated coupling may be required in practice, one example is the NVIDIA Tegra SoCs which besides the max-spreading have other restrictions that must be adhered. Introduce API that allow platforms to provide their own customized coupling algorithms. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Osipenko Signed-off-by: Mark Brown

docs: timers: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:31:48+00:00

The conversion here is really trivial: just a bunch of title markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
