Currently a syscon entity can be only registered directly through a
platform device that binds to a dedicated syscon driver. However in
certain use cases it is desirable to make a device used with another
driver a syscon interface provider.

For example, certain SoCs (e.g. Exynos) contain system controller
blocks which perform various functions such as power domain control,
CPU power management, low power mode control, but in addition contain
certain IP integration glue, such as various signal masks,
coprocessor power control, etc. In such case, there is a need to have
a dedicated driver for such system controller but also share registers
with other drivers. The latter is where the syscon interface is helpful.

In case of DT based platforms, this patch decouples syscon object from
syscon platform driver, and allows to create syscon objects first time
when it is required by calling of syscon_regmap_lookup_by APIs and keep
a list of such syscon objects along with syscon provider device_nodes
and regmap handles.

For non-DT based platforms, this patch keeps syscon platform driver
structure where is can be probed and such non-DT based drivers can use
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdev API and get access to regmap handles.
Once all users of "syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdev" migrated to DT based,
we can completly remove platform driver of syscon, and keep only helper
functions to get regmap handles.

Patch v4 and related discussions can be found here [1].

Changes since v4:
 - Addressed Tomasz Figa's comments for v4.
 - Added error handing in of_syscon_register function.
 - Using devm_regmap_init_mmio instead of regmap_init_mmio.

Changes since v3:
 - Addressed Arnd's comment for v2.
 - Updated of_syscon_register for adding dev pointer in regmap_init_mmio.
 - For early users created dummy platform device.
   
Changes since v2:
 - Added back platform device support from syscon, with one change that
   syscon will not be probed for DT based platform.
 - Added back syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname API so that non-DT base
   users of syscon will not be broken.
 - Removed unwanted change in syscon.h.
 - Modified Signed-off-by list, added Suggested-by of Tomasz Figa and
   Arnd Bergmann.
 - Added Tested-by of Vivek Gautam for testing on Exynos platform.

Changes since v1:
 - Removed of_syscon_unregister function.
 - Modified of_syscon_register function and it will be used by syscon.c
   to create syscon objects whenever required.
 - Removed platform device support from syscon.
 - Removed syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname API support.
 - As there are significant changes w.r.t patchset v1, I am taking over
   author for this patchset from Tomasz Figa.

Can we create specific devices for each syscon device?
That looks more reasonable to me.
Then we can dump registers in regmap debugfs more clearly, just like other devices.
And i think it's better to follow device tree way to generate devices from node.
If DT core find a device is already created, it can ignore that device to avoid
creating duplicated device during of_platform_populate.

If you are referring to use "of_platform_device_create", then I am afraid
that it can't be used
in very early stage. For example, current patch I tested by calling
syscon_lookup_by_phandle from
"init_irq" hook of machine_desc, and it worked well, but If I use
"of_platform_device_create"
instead of dummy device, it fails to create pdev and this I verified on
Exynos platform. The reason
I selected "init_irq" is because this comes just before smp init and where
once we tried to get regmap handle,
but could not do so. 

Also if it was just a matter of creating platform_device at early stage then
early initialization of
syscon could have been solved till now.

So I would suggest if we really want this patch to cover early
initialization of syscon
(which is not it's main purpose) current patch is sufficient. 

@Arnd, since I have addressed crash issue as reported by Dong Aisheng, I
would like to take your ack,
but since there are some more code changes other than what you suggested I
request you to check this
and if you are ok, then I would like to your ack so that I can request to
maintainer for taking this patch.

Thanks,
Pankaj Dubey

Hi Pankaj,

I wrote a clk driver using syscon and your patch. clk driver uses
CLK_OF_DECLARE, btw.

It works but I get a '(null): Failed to create debugfs directory'
message in the boot log.

on Rockchip platforms this syscon support also helps quite a bit, as the
pll lock-status is sitting in an external syscon register, so setting target
pll-rates through assigned-clocks is not easily doable without it.
Therefore I'm very much looking forward to this.


Similar to Joachim I get an error about debugfs from regmap, which seems
to be caused by
	name = dev_name(map->dev);
returning NULL in regmap_debugfs_init in regmap-debugfs.c for such an "early"
syscon.

I don't remember noticing the of_find_device_by_node or platform_device_alloc
in earlier versions of this patch, but that could just be me failing to
read it right.

I think this should get removed: it would be much better to ensure that
the regmap code can work without a device pointer, which I thought it
did. We should probably also skip the creation of the debugfs directory
in that case.

I think we first need to resolve the question of the platform device.

Yes, till v2 of this patch set we do not used this and while calling
regmap_init_mmio, I used
NULL pointer while creating regmap handle.  But as you may be remember Dong
Aisheng reported crash
on latest Linus tree after applying this patch, and it caused because of
some recent changes in
regmap which has already landed in main tree, which makes passing of dev
pointer compulsory
while calling regmap_init_mmio. Please check following commits in current
tree

1) d647c19 regmap: add DT endianness binding support.
2) ba1b53f regmap: Fix DT endianess parsing logic.
3) 45e1a27 regmap: of_regmap_get_endian() cleanup

and following patch [1] for changing syscon binding from Xiubo Li

[1] [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/67

So we discussed [2] and decided to use either actual device if it's
populated and available for use or
create either actual device or dummy device for using it during
regmap_init_mmio calls.

[2]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/35

So what I understood from these changes from Xiubo Li, they wanted to pass
endianness of regmap
handle to be passed from DT. 

So I am not sure if we can really make regmap code work without a device
pointer.

As far as debugfs of regmap is concerned it can be solved as I replied to
Heiko in this thread [3]
if we are using device pointer while creating regmap handle. 
If we are not using device pointer while creating regmap handle it won't
cause any problem and 
there won't be any debugfs entry.

Why can't we just have both a dev pointer and an explicit of_node pointer
that can be used in the absence of the device?

I think it's dangerous to have a platform device that is allocated but
not registered as you do in your driver at the moment. We can't register
it for early callers either, and if we found a way to do so, we'd end
up with multiple platform devices that contain the same of_node, which
would then cause other problems, such as binding both devices to the
same driver.

Right, this works, although my earlier thoughts were that we would
just never have a device for a syscon any more. We could have a
different representation for syscon regmaps in debugfs though, one
that is separate from the devices and that is based on the just the
of_node pointer. syscon is special enough that I think the regmap
infrastructure should be aware of what is a syscon regmap as opposed
to one from a device.
