[PATCH v2] backlight: pwm: reject legacy pwm request for device defined in dt

[PATCH v2] backlight: pwm: reject legacy pwm request for device defined in dt

[Vladimir Zapolskiy]

Platform PWM backlight data provided by board's device tree should be
complete enough to successfully request a pwm device using pwm_get()
API. This change fixes a bug, when an arbitrary (first found) PWM is
connected to a "pwm-backlight" compatible device, when explicit PWM
device reference is not given.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/backlight/pwm-backlight.txt
already describes "pwms" as a required property, instead of blind
selection of a potentially wrong PWM reject legacy PWM device
registration request, leave legacy API only for non-dt cases.

Based on initial implementation done by Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov.

I still think it would be cleaner to do what Thierry proposed here [1].
IMO, embedding the complexity of different error cases depending on the
way PWM devices were defined (OF, pdata, ...) is rather risky and
make the code even more complicated.

please correct me if I'm wrong, I suppose Thierry's change fixes
Nicolas' commit 68feaca0b13 only, and the intention of my change is to
fix an absolutely unrelated problem, see the commit message.

So, since still there is a remained chance of getting -EPROBE_DEFER from
pwm_get(), e.g. from of_pwm_get() or failed pwmchip_find_by_name() or

help me to overcome the problem I'm trying to solve here.

please correct me if I'm wrong, I suppose Thierry's change fixes
Nicolas' commit 68feaca0b13 only, and the intention of my change is to
fix an absolutely unrelated problem, see the commit message.

So, since still there is a remained chance of getting -EPROBE_DEFER from
pwm_get(), e.g. from of_pwm_get() or failed pwmchip_find_by_name() or
pwm->chip->ops->request() I don't see how Thierry's change alone may
help me to overcome the problem I'm trying to solve here.

The only valid case where EPROBE_DEFER should be returned is when we
have a device that is not ready to be used yet (but we're sure that we
have this device declared, using either the PWM lookup table or the DT
definition in the PWM subsystem case).
Thierry's patch makes sure that EPROBE_DEFER is not returned when the
PWM device definition is not found using in the PWM lookup tables or
the DT definition, and in this case the pwm_bl code will fallback to
the legacy PWM API, which AFAICT is what you're trying to solve.

That's fine, and it is reflected in my change.

This is okay, but I'm interested in proper handling of cases other than
EPROBE_DEFER. EPROBE_DEFER and the related issues are on your balance
and I'm attempting to avoid interfering with it here :)

> and in this case the pwm_bl code will fallback to

Fallback must happen exclusively under (IS_ERR(pb->pwm) &&
PTR_ERR(pb->pwm) != -EPROBE_DEFER && !pdev->dev.of_node) condition IMHO.

Before EPROBE_DEFER appeared on the scene the condition was
(IS_ERR(pb->pwm) && !pdev->dev.of_node).

So, the question is if my change requires any updates or not from your
point of view.

That's fine, and it is reflected in my change.

This is okay, but I'm interested in proper handling of cases other than
EPROBE_DEFER. EPROBE_DEFER and the related issues are on your balance
and I'm attempting to avoid interfering with it here :)

Fallback must happen exclusively under (IS_ERR(pb->pwm) &&
PTR_ERR(pb->pwm) != -EPROBE_DEFER && !pdev->dev.of_node) condition IMHO.

Before EPROBE_DEFER appeared on the scene the condition was
(IS_ERR(pb->pwm) && !pdev->dev.of_node).

So, the question is if my change requires any updates or not from your
point of view.

I keep thinking we should fix all platforms using the ->pwm_id pdata
field to attach a PWM device to a PWM backlight instead of trying to
guess when falling back to the legacy API is acceptable...

Sounds good, thank you for review.


Robert,

because you found a regression in the related area of code on a
platform, which uses legacy PWM API, could you please confirm that three
patches applied in a row don't break anything for you, the changes are:

* Nicolas' 68feaca0b1 ("backlight: pwm: Handle EPROBE_DEFER while
requesting the PWM")
* Thierry' https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/5/319
* and this one is the last in the series:
