Some power-measuring ADCs work together with power load switches which
allow to power-cycle measured devices.

An example use case would be measuring the power consumption of a
development board during boot using a power monitor such as TI INA226
and power-cycling the board remotely using a TPS229* power switch.

Add an iio driver for simple GPIO power switches and expose a sysfs
attribute allowing to toggle their state.

I don't get this, isn't this doing the same as
drivers/power/reset/gpio-poweroff.c
?

With the only difference that the latter uses the standard syscall
from pm_power_off to reboot the system instead of some random
sysfs file.

As far as I understand it, the TPS229 is used by Barzosz to poweroff
a remote system. The gpio-poweroff driver is used to poweroff the
local system.

Thanks yeah I understood this from the context of later patches.

Well if such a property is used it should be the property of the remote
system per se, and the remote system should then also be desribed in
DT, not half-described by dangling references at random nodes.

So this needs to be re-architected to either describe the remote system
in DT and handle it in the kernel, or handle it all from userspace if it
is a one-off non-product thing.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

I'm not sure this is always true (though it might be here).  There is always
a need to describe the edge of the known world.  Be it that we have
an accelerometer - ultimately we could describe the device generating the
acceleration but we have no way of knowing what it is or what it will do..

What we have here is a rather simple case, but what about an I/O bank on
a PLC.  Obviously we can handle that as a bunch of GPIOs but if we know
more about it we should have means to describe that.  Say we know they are
always driving relays, we should be able to describe that additional known
stuff. Relays have characteristics such as bounce times etc that if described
would allow us to do the relevant filtering on inputs to handle this.

Here the fact it is a power supply switch should be describable.  Hard to
get right in a generic way though so in cases like this perhaps you
are right and it should just be left undescribed and handled in userspace.

Anyhow, here I think leaving it as a gpio interface is probably the way to
go, but I'm not sure that will always be the case.

No you are right. We are at the fuzzy system perimeter.

For GPIO we currently only have asserted/unasserted, polarity
of that, open drain/source and debounce time. But we will need the whole
slew of pin control settings in the future: drive strength, schmitt-trigger
hysteresis etc etc. And if there is a further component beyond that it
may need a driver in turn even if it is "only" a relay.

Let's see about this one...
