  • With device tree support for regulators, its needed that the
    regulator_dev->dev device has the right of_node attached.
    To be able to do this add an additional parameter to the
    regulator_register() api, wherein the dt-adapted driver can
    then pass this additional info onto the regulator core.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • The BuckWise DC-DC convertors in WM831x devices support switching to
    a second output voltage using the logic level on one of the device
    pins. This is intended to allow rapid voltage switching for uses like
    cpufreq, replacing the I2C or SPI write used to configure the voltage
    of the regulator with a much faster GPIO status change.

    This is implemented by keeping the DVS voltage configured as the
    maximum voltage permitted for the regulator. If a request is made
    for the maximum voltage then the GPIO is used to switch to the DVS
    voltage, otherwise the normal ON voltage is updated and used. This
    follows the idiom used by most cpufreq drivers, which drop the
    minimum voltage as the core frequency is dropped but use a constant
    maximum - raising the voltage should normally be fast, but lowering
    it may be slower.

    Configuration of the DVS MFP on the device should be done externally,
    for example via OTP.

    Support is present in the hardware for monitoring the status of the
    transition using a second GPIO. This is not currently implemented
    but platform data is provided for it - the driver currently assumes
    that the device will be configured to transition immediately - but
    platform data is provided to reduce merge issues once it is.

  • The WM831x series of PMICs provide two optional outputs for
    controlling external devices during power sequencing, for example
    an external regulator. While in essence these are GPIOs the
    hardware presents them as DCDCs with very little control so
    provide support via the regulator API in that fashion.

  • The WM831x series of devices all have 3 DC-DC buck convertors. This
    driver implements software control for these regulators via the
    regulator API. Use with split hardware/software control of individual
    regulators is not supported, though regulators not controlled by
    software may be controlled via the hardware control interfaces.
