[PATCH 0/3] Add new binding regulator-fixed-clock to regulator-fixed

[PATCH 0/3] Add new binding regulator-fixed-clock to regulator-fixed

[Philippe Schenker]

Our hardware has a FET that is switching power rail of the ethernet PHY
on and off. This switching enable signal is a clock from the SoC.

There is no possibility in regulator subsystem to have this hardware
reflected in software.

I already discussed with Mark Brown about possible solutions and he
suggested to create at least a new compatible. [1]
This discussion includes also a better explanation of our circuit as
well as schematics. So please refer to that link if you have questions
about that.

In this first attempt I created a new binding "regulator-fixed-clock"
that can take a clock from devicetree. This is a simple addition to
regulator-fixed. If the binding regulator-fixed-clock is given, the
clock is simply enabled on regulator enable and disabled on regulator
disable.
To be able to have multiple consumers a counter variable is also given
that tells how many consumers need power from this regulator.

Best regards,
Philippe

[PATCH 1/3] regulator: fixed: add possibility to enable by clock

[Philippe Schenker]

This commit adds the possibility to choose the compatible
"regulator-fixed-clock" in devicetree.

This is a special regulator-fixed that has to have a clock, from which
the regulator gets switched on and off.

This seems conceptually fine.  Minor issues though:

This could just be return priv->clk_enable_counter > 0 - ideally the
clock API would let us query if the clock is enabled but that might be a
bit confused anyway given that it's possibly shared.

Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you like it! I will send a v2
shortly, also with Rob's fixes in. Can I expect it to be pulled for 5.4?

You don't need this.

If you add a new compatible, then this should probably be a new schema
doc. Is the 'gpio' property valid in this case as if a clock is the
enable, can you also have a gpio enable? That said, it seems like the
new compatible is only for validating the DT in the driver. You could
just use a clock if present and default to current behavior if not.
It's not the kernel's job to validate DTs.

This says you must have 'compatible = "regulator-fixed",
"regulator-fixed-clock";'.

What you want is:

enum:
  - regulator-fixed
  - regulator-fixed-clock

Need to define how many clocks (maxItems: 1).

Hi Rob and thanks for your comments. I will change this commit message
for a possible v2 into this:

This adds the documentation to the compatible regulator-fixed-clock.
This binding is a special binding of regulator-fixed and adds the
ability to add a clock to regulator-fixed, so the regulator can be
enabled and disabled with that clock.
If the special compatible regulator-fixed-clock is used it is mandatory
to supply a clock.

The gpio property is valid with this compatible. I added regulator-
fixed-clock to regulator-fixed hence I also don't want to create a new
schema file.

With the above select statement I wanted to state clocks as required
when the compatible regulator-fixed-clock is given.

Thanks, this was exactly what I wanted to do.

Will do for a possible v2. I want to wait what Mark Brown says about the
addition in general, maybe I have to change all over how this speciality
is added into regulator subsystem and therefore also the binding will
change.

Okay, if all the other properties are valid then adding to this file is fine.

select is not the right way to do that. select is for whether to apply
the schema to a node or not. What you have will silently not apply the
schema if 'clocks' is missing or compatible is 'regulator-fixed'.
Essentially what you need to do here is:

if:
  properties:
    compatible:
      contains:
        const: regulator-fixed-clock
then:
  required:
    - clocks
