[PATCH v2 0/4] at24: move write-protect pin handling to nvmem core

[PATCH v2 0/4] at24: move write-protect pin handling to nvmem core

[Khouloud Touil]

The write-protect pin handling looks like a standard property that
could benefit other users if available in the core nvmem framework.
    
Instead of modifying all the drivers to check this pin, make the
nvmem subsystem check if the write-protect GPIO being passed
through the nvmem_config or defined in the device tree and pull it
low whenever writing to the memory.

This patchset:

- adds support for the write-protect pin split into two parts.
The first patch modifies modifies the relevant binding document,
while the second modifies the nvmem code to pull the write-protect
GPIO low (if present) during write operations.

- removes support for the write-protect pin split into two parts.
The first patch modifies the relevant binding document to remove
the wp-gpio, while the second removes the relevant code in the
at24 driver.

Changes since v1:
-Add an explenation on how the wp-gpios works
-keep reference to the wp-gpios in the at24 binding

[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: nvmem: new optional property write-protect-gpios

[Khouloud Touil]

Several memories have a write-protect pin, that when pulled high, it
blocks the write operation.

On some boards, this pin is connected to a GPIO and pulled high by
default, which forces the user to manually change its state before
writing.

Instead of modifying all the memory drivers to check this pin, make
the NVMEM subsystem check if the write-protect GPIO being passed
through the nvmem_config or defined in the device tree and pull it
low whenever writing to the memory.

Add a new optional property to the device tree binding document, which
allows to specify the GPIO line to which the write-protect pin is
connected.

OK I guess we can't get it less convoluted. This section is consistent.

In the example please use the include for GPIO:

#include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>

wp-gpios = <&gpio1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

You can just put the #include directive right before the
example, it should work fine.

[PATCH v2 2/4] nvmem: add support for the write-protect pin

[Khouloud Touil]

The write-protect pin handling looks like a standard property that
could benefit other users if available in the core nvmem framework.

Instead of modifying all the memory drivers to check this pin, make
the NVMEM subsystem check if the write-protect GPIO being passed
through the nvmem_config or defined in the device tree and pull it
low whenever writing to the memory.

There was a suggestion for introducing the gpiodesc from pdata, but
as pdata is already removed it could be replaced by adding it to
nvmem_config.

This is consistent IMO, we just specify that WP is active high
as in "when it is high, it actively protects against writing", so:

I wonder if this needs to be in the same patch that adds it to
the NVMEM subsystem, so as to avoid both code paths being
taken between the two patches (bisectability..)

However that is not the biggest thing in the universe and I'm
no bisectability-perfectionist, so:

Thanks Khouloud for this patchset,

I can take this via nvmem tree once we get an ack on dt bindings from DT
