This is an important feature for some kinds of BMC (baseboard management controller) systems where the BMC provides an operator with manual control of a set of DC power outputs. As in a broadly similar patchset that was recently almost merged [0], this takes the approach of providing support by extending the existing userspace-consumer regulator driver. A couple questions about the userspace-consumer driver came up along the way, however. First, how (if at all) is it currently being used? It appears the last in-tree use of it was removed a bit over two years ago in commit 9d3239147d6d ("ARM: pxa: remove Compulab pxa2xx boards"). Aside from just adding DT support I've made a couple small tweaks to the driver in patch 3 that I hope are compatible with any current usage, but without any extant examples to look at it's kind of hard to say. Second, how critical is its support for controlling multiple regulators? (i.e. its use of regulator_bulk_data and friends instead of a single struct regulator.) As far as I can see every in-tree use of it that's ever existed has used num_supplies = 1. If it's not important to retain, patch 1 of this series could be supplanted by one that instead simplifies the driver slightly by removing that functionality. The DT binding added in patch 2 is essentially identical to one I posted in a previous patchset that had an R-B from Rob [1], but has had some minor rewording and been moved from the extcon subsystem to the regulator subsystem. Changes since v1 [2]: - removed 'regulator-leave-on' DT property - added .is_visible method to hide sysfs 'name' property when it's NULL Thanks, Zev [0] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220707081826.953449-4-Naresh.Solanki@9elements.com/ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20220505232557.10936-2-zev@bewilderbeest.net/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/openbmc/20220925220319.12572-1-zev@bewilderbeest.net/ Zev Weiss (3): regulator: devres: Add devm_regulator_bulk_get_exclusive() dt-bindings: regulator: Add regulator-output binding regulator: userspace-consumer: Handle regulator-output DT nodes .../bindings/regulator/regulator-output.yaml | 39 +++++++++++ drivers/regulator/core.c | 42 +++++++----- drivers/regulator/devres.c | 66 ++++++++++++++----- drivers/regulator/internal.h | 2 + drivers/regulator/userspace-consumer.c | 60 +++++++++++++++-- include/linux/regulator/consumer.h | 2 + include/linux/regulator/userspace-consumer.h | 1 + 7 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator-output.yaml -- 2.38.1
