  Cc: nicolas.ferre, alexandre.belloni, ludovic.desroches, Codrin Ciubotariu

The "atmel,at91sam9260-usart" driver is a MFD driver, so it needs sub-nodes
to match the registered platform device. For this reason, we add a serial
subnode to all the "atmel,at91sam9260-usart" serial compatible nods. This
will also remove the boot warning:
"atmel_usart_serial: Failed to locate of_node [id: -2]"

I don't remember this warning was raised previously even if the MFD 
driver was added a while ago (Sept. 2018).

I would say it's due to 466a62d7642f ("mfd: core: Make a best effort 
attempt to match devices with the correct of_nodes") which was added on 
mid August and corrected with 22380b65dc70 ("mfd: mfd-core: Ensure 
disabled devices are ignored without error") but maybe not covering our 
case.

So, well, I don't know what's the best option to this change. Moreover, 
I would say that all other USART related properties go into the child 
not if there is a need for one.

Lee, I suspect that we're not the only ones experiencing this ugly 
warning during the boot log: can you point us out how to deal with it 
for our existing atmel_serial.c users?

Best regards,
   Nicolas

Well, it's not covering our enabled devices.

My understading is that platform devices registered by MFD should have a 
correspondig DT node. The parrent properties are also available for the 
other usart device (usart-spi), so I think we should keep them in the 
parrent.

Best regards,

You should not be instantiating drivers through Device Tree which are
not described there.  If the correct representation of the H/W already
exists in Device Tree i.e. no SPI and UART IP really exists, use the
MFD core API to register them utilising the platform API instead.

This should do it:

Device Tree and MFD are unrelated.  MFDs don't even exist - they are a
figment of a Linux Kernel Engineer's imagination - we made them up!

The DT should describe the hardware and nothing else.  If we wish to
mess with devices for our own gain i.e. organise them into different
subsystems, we have to do that in software.  That's what MFD is for.

Hi Lee, thank you for looking through our usart driver and for sharing 
your thoughts. Removing the usage of compatible string means that for 
similar serial/SPI IPs we would need to create new platform drivers. 
This is not ideal, but it's a solution. What I proposed is more 
flexible, but, as you pointed out, I am not sure it correctly describes 
the HW, because the decision of whether to use this IP as a serial or a 
SPI is a configurable one.

Thanks and best regards,
Codrin

Why would you need to do that?

You are right, I mixed up things. We are using the MFD here to describe 
a hardware USART IP that can also function as an SPI, but not at the 
same time. The decision of whether the IP works as a normal USART or an 
SPI is DT configurable, at this moment. It is doing more than just 
describing the HW, but I don't know how to describe it otherwise.

Best regards,
Codrin

In the case we will have to support another similar IP, but with a 
different set of features. Not a new platform driver from scratch, but 
at least a new struct platform_driver for each variant.

I guess we could use struct mfd_cell.platform_data to select the 
features for the serial/SPI. This platform data can be per compatible of 
our MFD driver. I will send a patch with the changes you suggested. 
Thank you!

Yes, that is what platform data is for.
