It should, it's not clear to me that this is a good fix but I don't feel I fully understand the problem.

Sorry for being unclear for issue, the call flow as following, First, in drivers/mfd/mtk_pmic_wrap.c which registered regmap without rebmap_bus. devm_regmap_init(wrp->dev, NULL, wrp, &pwrap_regmap_config); It call to regmap_init() and go to "skip_format_initialization" because regmap_bus didn't assign by driver. if (!bus) { map->reg_read = config->reg_read; map->reg_write = config->reg_write; map->defer_caching = false; goto skip_format_initialization;" Then in driver rtc-mt6397.c, it used regmap_bulk_read() to get the time of PMIC, and hit the null function of format_val(), because the regmap_bus was null. It skipped the initialization of format_val() because bus == null, but called the format_val() at regmap_bulk_read() if bus == null. Maybe it was not the good fix for this, but should be a problem need to be reported, or should I need to give the regmap_bus on mtk_pmic_wrap.c? I tested this on mediatek mt8173 evb platform. Please see the error below, thanks.

OK, so the issue here is that when we fall back to regmap_read() we may do so because we have reg_read() and reg_write() functions which in turn imply no formatting. The expectation here is that val must be an array of int. The code doesn't completely take that into account though and the user you're pointing at is assuming it's an array of 16 bit values which isn't totally unreasonable if it did specify val_bits (we don't check for that). > Maybe it was not the good fix for this, but should be a problem need to > be reported, or should I need to give the regmap_bus on mtk_pmic_wrap.c? That file isn't in mainline... memcpy() is definitely not a safe way to move from an unsigned int to a u16 which is what your specific use case is trying to do. I'll need to do an audit of existing users (or someone else will!) to figure out what people are doing with .val_bits in drivers using reg_read() and reg_write() but I think what we should be doing here is probably providing appropriate conversion functions based on val_bits on init.

Right. We just need to do a survey of existing users and figure out what the least disruptive format function to provide is. That way we don't have to special case other code that uses formatting.

I ran into this bug when testing Matthias' v4.2-next/for-next branch on mt8173. It now crashes on boot. Since I didn't see it elsewhere in this discussion, I'll point out that the "regression" here was introduced by commit [0], which added the call to map->format.format_val from regmap_bulk_read() when map->bus == NULL. [0] commit 15b8d2c41fe5839582029f65c5f7004db451cc2b Author: Arun Chandran <achandran@mvista.com> regmap: Fix regmap_bulk_read in BE mode Perhaps the easiest work around to unbreak v4.2 is, as Henry mentions, for mtk_pmic_wrap to define its own regmap_bus, with .read() & .write() handlers. This way they will inherit the default built-in format_val() from the regmap core. Making mtk_pmic-wrap into a regmap_bus makes a bit of sense architecturally, too, since it is essentially just a bus for accessing the registers of an off-chip PMIC. The CPU sees a platform bus, but the registers of the remote PMIC are accessed over a dedicated SPI bus. WDYT? Henry, can you try to implement this?

Hi Daniel, I can try to create a regmap_bus for pmic wrap. But I'm not sure if it was the good solution for this problem. Hi Mark, Sorry, I'm afraid that I cannot do this right on init as you said last time. What do you think about regmap_bus, can you accept that way?

What do you think about regmap_bus, can you accept that way? I don't have enough context from the above to understand what's going on, sorry. Implementing a bus for something that isn't actually a Linux bus doesn't seem like the best idea though and in general what I'm seeing of the discussion sounds like you're hacking around in driver code to bodge around problems that are being seen rather than really addressing things, the code I can see certainly looks like it just wants to be implementing read and write operations for a single MFD.
