[PATCH v2 0/9] regulator: pwm-regulator: Introduce continuous-mode

[PATCH v2 0/9] regulator: pwm-regulator: Introduce continuous-mode

[Lee Jones]

This patch-set has been rebased on to topic/pwm.
  
Continuous mode uses the PWM regulator's maximum and minimum supplied
voltages specified in the regulator-{min,max}-microvolt properties to
calculate appropriate duty-cycle values.  This allows for a much more
fine grained solution when compared with voltage-table mode, which
this driver already supports.  This solution does make an assumption
that a %50 duty-cycle value will cause the regulator voltage to run
at half way between the supplied max_uV and min_uV values.

-pwm regulator bindings
+Bindings for the Generic PWM Regulator
+======================================
+
+Currently supports 2 modes of operation:
+
+voltage-table:		When in this mode, a voltage table (See below) of
+			predefined voltage <=> duty-cycle values must be
+			provided via DT. Limitations are that the regulator can
+			only operate at the voltages supplied in the table.
+			Intermediary duty-cycle values which would normally
+			allow finer grained voltage selection are ignored and
+			rendered useless.  Although more control is given to
+			the user if the assumptions made in continuous-voltage
+			mode do not reign true.
+
+continuous-voltage:	This mode uses the regulator's maximum and minimum
+			supplied voltages specified in the
+			regulator-{min,max}-microvolt properties to calculate
+			appropriate duty-cycle values.  This allows for a much
+			more fine grained solution when compared with
+			voltage-table mode above.  This solution does make an
+			assumption that a %50 duty-cycle value will cause the
+			regulator voltage to run at half way between the
+			supplied max_uV and min_uV values.
 
 Required properties:
-- compatible: Should be "pwm-regulator"
-- pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding pwm.txt)
-- voltage-table: voltage and duty table, include 2 members in each set of
-  brackets, first one is voltage(unit: uv), the next is duty(unit: percent)
+--------------------
+- compatible:		Should be "pwm-regulator"
+
+- pwms:			PWM specification (See: ../pwm/pwm.txt)
+
+One of these must be provided:
+- voltage-table: 	Voltage and Duty-Cycle table consisting of 2 cells
+			    First cell is voltage in microvolts (uV)
+			    Second cell is duty-cycle in percent (%)
+
+- max-duty-cycle:	Maximum Duty-Cycle value -- this will normally be
+  			255 (0xff) for an 8 bit PWM device
 
-Any property defined as part of the core regulator binding defined in
-regulator.txt can also be used.
+If both are provided, the current default is voltage-table mode.
 
-Example:
+Any property defined as part of the core regulator binding can also be used.
+(See: ../regulator/regulator.txt)
+
+Continuous Voltage Example:
 	pwm_regulator {
 		compatible = "pwm-regulator;
 		pwms = <&pwm1 0 8448 0>;
+		regulator-min-microvolt = <1016000>;
+		regulator-max-microvolt = <1114000>;
+		regulator-name = "vdd_logic";
+
+		max-duty-cycle = <255>; /* 8bit PWM */
+	};
 
+Voltage Table Example:
+	pwm_regulator {
+		compatible = "pwm-regulator;
+		pwms = <&pwm1 0 8448 0>;
+		regulator-min-microvolt = <1016000>;
+		regulator-max-microvolt = <1114000>;
+		regulator-name = "vdd_logic";
+
+			      /* Voltage Duty-Cycle */
 		voltage-table = <1114000 0>,
 				<1095000 10>,
 				<1076000 20>,
 				<1056000 30>,

Do we really have to specify a new property to select the mode ?
The existing DT will have to be modified anyway, so maybe we can just
add a new compatible string differentiate those two modes.

Also note that if you're doing linear interpolation between the points
specified in the voltage-table instead of doing it on the min -> max
values, you wouldn't have to modify the binding.

Why are you introducing another random unit. What is max-duty-cycle
really encoding (I guess it has to do with the precision you're
expecting, but I'm not sure) ?
The PWM framework is using nanoseconds, the existing pwm-regulator
binding is using percents. Shouldn't we reuse one of them (I
guess you changed that because the percent unit was not precise
enough) ?

[PATCH v2 7/9] regulator: pwm-regulator: Add support for continuous-voltage

[Lee Jones]

The current version of PWM regulator only supports a static table
approach, where pre-calculated values are supplied by the vendor and
obtained via DT.  The continuous-voltage method takes min_uV and
max_uV, and divides the difference between them up into a number of
slices.  The number of slices depend on how large the duty cycle
register is.  This information is provided by a DT property.

As the name alludes, this provides values for a continuous voltage
range between min_uV and max_uV, which has obvious benefits over
either limited voltage possibilities, or the requirement to provide
a large voltage-table.

Applied "regulator: pwm-regulator: Add support for continuous-voltage" to the regulator tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   regulator: pwm-regulator: Add support for continuous-voltage

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: pwm-regulator: Add support for continuous-voltage

The current version of PWM regulator only supports a static table
approach, where pre-calculated values are supplied by the vendor and
obtained via DT.  The continuous-voltage method takes min_uV and
max_uV, and divides the difference between them up into a number of
slices.  The number of slices depend on how large the duty cycle
register is.  This information is provided by a DT property.

As the name alludes, this provides values for a continuous voltage
range between min_uV and max_uV, which has obvious benefits over
either limited voltage possibilities, or the requirement to provide
a large voltage-table.

[PATCH v2 8/9] regulator: pwm-regulator: Simplify voltage to duty-cycle call

[Lee Jones]

If we reverse some of the logic and change the formula used,
we can simplify the function greatly.

It is intentional that this function is supplied and then re-worked
within the same patch-set.  The submission in the previous patch is
the tried and tested (i.e. in real releases) method written by ST.
This patch contains a simplification provided later.  It looks and
performs better, but doesn't have the same time-under-test that the
original method does.  The idea is that we keep some history in
order to provide an easy way back i.e. revert.

[PATCH v2 9/9] regulator: pwm-regulator: Don't assign structure attributes right away

[Lee Jones]

Perhaps this is just personal preference, but ...

This patch introduces a new local variable to receive and test regulator
initialisation data.  It simplifies and cleans up the code making it
that little bit easier to read and maintain.  The local value is assigned
to the structure attribute when all the others are.  This is the way we
usually do things.

Prevents this kind of nonsense:

	this->is->just.silly = fetch_silly_value(&pointer);
	if (!this->is->just.silly) {
		printk("Silly value failed: %d\n", this->is->just.silly);
		return this->is->just.silly;

Well, I'm not sure this assumption works for all pwm driven regulators.
What if your regulator does not react linearly to the PWM duty-cycle
config ?

How about addressing that by using all the entries of the
voltage<->duty table association and doing the linear interpolation
between the provided points instead of doing it on the min -> max
range ?

Boris

If you wish to add a 3rd mode, then I'm sure Mark will accept
submissions, but I think what you are suggesting would be pretty
complex and out-of-scope of what this patch-set is trying to achieve.

As a side note, then if the voltage isn't directly proportional to the
duty cycle on a large scale i.e. max => min, then it will not likely
be very accurate between say table entries 1 => 2, or 4 => 5, etc.

What I suggest you do in your case is provide a larger table with all
of the values you find interesting, as it sounds like your PWM
regulator isn't doing what one would normally expect.

Okay, still don't get the need to add a new mode which is almost doing
the same thing when we could have implemented it in a generic way in the
first place. But if your version has already been accepted then I think
I'll have to propose a new mode :-/.

Well, I do not exactly agree here. Yes if you want to have a precise
mapping you'll have to add more entries in your voltage table, but
using linear interpolation between two points can be precise enough on
some ranges and prevent one to define a complete voltage table in the
DT.

Doug, could give more details about the regulator used on the veyron
board ?

This solution is very generic.  What you're suggesting is pretty
non-standard I think.  This solution specifically doesn't account for
wonky/non-linear PWM regulators -- that's why I made the effort to
write it as an explicit assumption.

FYI, I just sent a patch amending the binding documentation.  It
should prevent any further confusion.

There's no need for a new mode as far as veyron is concerned.  The pwm
regulator on veyron (as far as I understand it) acts the way that Lee
describes.  Try doing the math on the values in the table and you
should see that it's as linear as it can be while still using integral
duty cycles.

Originally I only suggested using "linear interpolation" because:

* It meant no bindings change, which is always nice to avoid.

* It meant that old devices got this new mode, which is probably the
right thing anyway (I think).  Maybe nobody has published DTS files
with pwm-regulator, so the point is moot.

There's no need for a new mode as far as veyron is concerned.  The pwm
regulator on veyron (as far as I understand it) acts the way that Lee
describes.  Try doing the math on the values in the table and you
should see that it's as linear as it can be while still using integral
duty cycles.

Originally I only suggested using "linear interpolation" because:

* It meant no bindings change, which is always nice to avoid.

* It meant that old devices got this new mode, which is probably the
right thing anyway (I think).  Maybe nobody has published DTS files
with pwm-regulator, so the point is moot.

Great news.  This means that you provide the voltage the regulator
will provide with 0% duty cycle and 100% duty cycle and you're hot to
trot.  No further configuration/bindings required.
