[PATCH v2 0/2] hwmon: (max127) Add Maxim MAX127 hardware monitoring

[rentao.bupt]

From: Tao Ren <rentao.bupt@gmail.com>

The patch series adds hardware monitoring driver for the Maxim MAX127
chip.

Patch #1 adds the max127 hardware monitoring driver, and patch #2 adds
documentation for the driver.

[PATCH v2 1/2] hwmon: (max127) Add Maxim MAX127 hardware monitoring driver

[rentao.bupt]

From: Tao Ren <rentao.bupt@gmail.com>

Add hardware monitoring driver for the Maxim MAX127 chip.

MAX127 min/max range handling code is inspired by the max197 driver.

Signed-off-by: Tao Ren <rentao.bupt@gmail.com>
---
 Changes in v2:
   - replace devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups() with
     devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() API.
   - divide min/max read and write methods to separate functions.
   - fix raw-to-vin conversion logic.
   - refine ctrl_byte handling so mutex is not needed to protect the
     byte.
   - improve i2c_transfer() error handling.
   - a few other improvements (comments, variable naming, and etc.).

+The MAX127 is a multirange, 12-bit data acquisition system (DAS) providing

+a variety of ranges. The available ranges are {0,5V}, {0,10V}, {-5,5V}
+and {-10,10V}.
+
+The MAX127 features a 2-wire, I2C-compatible serial interface that allows
+communication among multiple devices using SDA and SCL lines.

Hi Tao

Why are using sending a hwmon driver to the networking mailing list?

Hi Andrew,

I added netdev because the mailing list is included in "get_maintainer.pl
Documentation/hwmon/index.rst" output. Is it the right command to find
reviewers? Could you please suggest? Thank you.

I have no idea why running get_maintainer.pl on
Documentation/hwmon/index.rst returns such a large list of mailing
lists and people. For some reason it includes everyone in the XDP
maintainer list. If anyone has an idea how that happens, please
let me know - we'll want to get this fixed to avoid the same problem
in the future.

I found it. The XDP maintainer entry has:

K:    xdp

This matches Documentation/hwmon/index.rst.

$ grep xdp Documentation/hwmon/index.rst
   xdpe12284

It seems to me that a context match such as "xdp" in MAINTAINERS isn't
really appropriate. "xdp" matches a total of 348 files in the kernel.
The large majority of those is not XDP related. The maintainers
of XDP (and all the listed mailing lists) should not be surprised
to get a large number of odd review requests if they want to review
every single patch on files which include the term "xdp".

Thanks Guenter and Andrew. Given xdp maintainers were included by
mistake, I will remove them from the future discussions of this hwmon

Agreed, we should fix this. For maintainers with high patch volume life
would be so much easier if people CCed the right folks to get reviews,
so we should try our best to fix get_maintainer.

XDP folks, any opposition to changing the keyword / filename to:

	[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]

I think it is a good idea to change the keyword (K:), but I'm not sure
this catch what we want, maybe it does.  The pattern match are meant to
catch drivers containing XDP related bits.

Previously Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> suggested this pattern match,
which I don't fully understand... could you explain Joe?

  (?:\b|_)xdp(?:\b|_)

For the filename (N:) regex match, I'm considering if we should remove
it and list more files explicitly.  I think normal glob * pattern
works, which should be sufficient.

This regex matches only:

	xdp
	xdp_<anything>
	<anything>_xdp_<anything>
	<anything>_xdp

Lists are generally more specific than regex globs.

Checking like Alexei did it seems Joe's version is faster and better:

$ git grep -l -E "[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]" | wc -l
295
$ git grep -l -E '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)' | wc -l
297

Checking like Alexei did it seems Joe's version is faster and better:

$ git grep -l -E "[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]" | wc -l
295
$ git grep -l -E '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)' | wc -l
297
$ time git grep -l -E '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)' > /tmp/a

real	0m5.171s

Okay, I guess this is the pattern you want: '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)'

As you noticed I already send out a patch, I can send a new with your
pattern, as it seems to be faster.

Reducing regex makes sense.
git grep -l -E "xdp"|wc -l
348
git grep -l -E "[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]"|wc -l
295

The false positive match was:
+drivers/hwmon/pmbus/Kconfig
+drivers/hwmon/pmbus/Makefile
+drivers/hwmon/pmbus/xdpe12284.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/ns83820.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/s2io.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/s2io.h
+drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-config.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-config.h
+drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-traffic.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/sis/sis900.c
+drivers/net/ethernet/sis/sis900.h

+drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c
+drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c
+drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/dma.c

so it's pretty much hwmon and few drivers.
I agree that sparing xdp from hwmon patches is a good thing :)

Hi Tae

What you are doing is correct. I suspected it was a get_maintainers
problem. Now we know this, we can figure out why it is adding all
these extra addresses which make no sense. Maybe a bug in the
MAINTAINERS file?
