On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.
Add new structure "coupling_desc" to regulator_dev, which contains
pointers to all coupled regulators including the owner of the structure,
number of coupled regulators and counter of currently resolved
regulators.
Add of_functions to parse all data needed in regulator coupling.
Provide method to check DTS data consistency. Check if each coupled
regulator's max_spread is equal and if their lists of regulators match.

In of_get_regulation_constraints() we were taking the result of
of_map_mode() (an unsigned int) and assigning it to an int. We were
then checking whether this value was -EINVAL. Some implementers of
of_map_mode() were returning -EINVAL (even though the return type of
their function needed to be unsigned int) because they needed to
signal an error back to of_get_regulation_constraints().
In general in the regulator framework the mode is always referred to
as an unsigned int. While we could fix this to be a signed int (the
highest value we store in there right now is 0x8), it's actually
pretty clean to just define the regulator mode 0x0 (the lack of any
bits set) as an invalid mode. Let's do that.

|
As of_find_regulator_by_node() is an of function it should be moved from
core.c to of_regulator.c. It provides better separation of device tree
functions from the core and allows other of_functions in of_regulator.c
to resolve device_node to regulator_dev. This will be useful for
implementation of parsing coupled regulators properties.
Declare of_find_regulator_by_node() function in internal.h as well as
regulator_class and dev_to_rdev(), as they are needed by
of_find_regulator_by_node().

In this patch, consumers are allowed to set suspend voltage, and this
actually just set the "uV" in constraint::regulator_state, when the
regulator_suspend_late() was called by PM core through callback when
the system is entering into suspend, the regulator device would act
suspend activity then.
And it assumes that if any consumer set suspend voltage, the regulator
device should be enabled in the suspend state. And if the suspend
voltage of a regulator device for all consumers was set zero, the
regulator device would be off in the suspend state.
This patch also provides a new function hook to regulator devices for
resuming from suspend states.

The items "disabled" and "enabled" are a little redundant, since only one
of them would be set to record if the regulator device should keep on
or be switched to off in suspend states.
So in this patch, the "disabled" was removed, only leave the "enabled":
- enabled == 1 for regulator-on-in-suspend
- enabled == 0 for regulator-off-in-suspend
- enabled == -1 means do nothing when entering suspend mode.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.
There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.
The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.
Specifics:
- Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from
intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method
(based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode
(Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take
cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil
governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).
- Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).
- Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek
cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).
- Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP)
DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh
Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley
Xiao).
- Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).
- Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
Nguyen).
- Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
(Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).
- Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make
it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).
- Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of
items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).
- Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
Fainelli).
- Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86
in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name
(Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).
- Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues
(Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).
- Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).
- Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).
- Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
(AVS) driver (David Wu).
- Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
platforms (Alex Shi).
- Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
utility (Todd Brandt).
- Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
Bhargava)"

Currently we only attempt to set the voltage during constraints
application if an exact voltage is specified. Extend this so that if
the currently set voltage for the regulator is outside the bounds set in
constraints we will move the voltage to the nearest constraint, raising
to the minimum or lowering to the maximum as needed. This ensures that
drivers can probe without the hardware being driven out of spec.

When drivers use simplified DT parsing method (they provide
'regulator_desc.of_match') they still may want to parse custom
properties for some of the regulators. For example some of the
regulators support GPIO enable control.
Add a driver-supplied callback for such case. This way the regulator
core parses common bindings offloading a lot of code from drivers and
still custom properties may be used.
The callback, called for each parsed regulator, may modify the
'regulator_config' initially passed to regulator_register().

Some regulators support their operating mode to be changed on startup
or by consumers when the system is running while others only support
their operating mode to be changed while the system has entered in a
suspend state.
The regulator Device Tree binding documents a set of properties to
configure the regulators operating modes from a FDT. This patch builds
on (40e20d6 regulator: of: Add support for parsing regulator_state for
suspend state) and adds support to parse those properties and fill the
regulator constraints so the regulator core can call the right suspend
handlers when the system enters into sleep.
The modes are defined in the Device Tree using the hardware specific
modes supported by the regulators. Regulator drivers have to define a
translation function that is used to map the hardware specific modes
to the standard ones.

some DT properties like the regulator initial and suspend modes. Use the

of_get_regulator_init_data() relies on of_get_regulation_constraints() to

Currently regulator drivers which support DT all repeat very similar code
to supply a list of known regulator identifiers to be matched with DT,
convert that to platform data which is then matched up with the regulators
as they are registered. This is both fiddly to get right and for devices
which can use the standard helpers to provide their operations is the main
source of code in the driver.
Since this code is essentially identical for most drivers we can factor it
out into the core, moving the identifiers in the match table into the
regulator descriptors and also allowing drivers to pass in the name of the
subnode to search. When a driver provides an of_match string for the
regulator the core will attempt to use that to obtain init_data, allowing
the driver to remove all explicit code for DT parsing and simply provide
data instead.
The current code leaks the phandles for the child nodes, this will be
addressed incrementally and makes no practical difference for FDT anyway
as the DT data structures are never freed.

of_regulator_match() saves some dynamcially allocated state into the
match table that's passed to it. By implementation and not contract, for
each match table entry, if non-NULL state is already present,
of_regulator_match() will not overwrite it. of_regulator_match() is
typically called each time a regulator is probe()d. This means it is
called with the same match table over and over again if a regulator
triggers deferred probe. This results in stale, kfree()d data being left
in the match table from probe to probe, which causes a variety of crashes
or use of invalid data.
Explicitly free all output state from of_regulator_match() before
generating new results in order to avoid this.

When the bindings for the TPS6586x regulator were being proposed, I
asserted that DT node naming rules for bus child nodes should also be
applied to nodes inside the TPS6586x regulator node itself. In other
words, that each node providing regulator init data should be named
after the type of object it represented ("regulator") and hence that
some other property was required to indicate which regulator the node
described ("regulator-compatible"). In turn this led to multiple nodes
having the same name, thus requiring node names to use a unit address
to make them unique, thus requiring reg properties within the nodes and
However, subsequent discussion indicates that the rules I was asserting
only applies to standardized bus nodes, and within a device's own node,
the binding can basically do anything sane that it wants.
Hence, this change deprecates the register-compatible property, and
instead uses node names to replace this functionality. This greatly
simplifies the device tree content, making them smaller and more legible.
The code is changed such that old device trees continue to work.
