The regulator core already has the concept of modes and you're already using the standard core concepts in most places.

Really the constraints should be: * qcom,mode-threshold-currents should be sorted from lowest to highest * qcom,allowed-modes must match qcom,mode-threshold-currents Sure, today it happens that the numbers are always lower for lower currents, but it doesn't seem like something you'd have to encode into the dt. > +- qcom,headroom-voltage > + Usage: optional; VRM regulators only > + Value type: <u32> > + Definition: Specifies the headroom voltage in microvolts to request for > + a VRM regulator.

I still don't have the big picture I guess, but it seems weird that you can override this.

The XOB hardware naming is unfortunate as it leads to confusion. I kept the name in DT bindings and the driver so that it matches hardware documentation. Functionally, the XOB block in RPMh provides an interface to enable and disable *any* PMIC peripheral, not just oscillator clock buffers. When this hardware feature was initially designed, it's primary use case was PMIC clock buffer control so it was designated "XOB". However, other use cases have come up since that point. One use case that is explicitly described in the qcom_rpmh-regulator driver is control of PM8998 low-voltage switches (LVS) 1 and 2. These switches physically only support enabling and disabling so it is better to control them via XOB and VRM. A second regulator XOB use case is management of regulators which could be controlled via VRM (as they support voltage and mode configuration) but which must be handled via XOB as all VRM indices in RPMh hardware are already used by other regulators. This case is board specific (as opposed to PMIC specific) which is why there needs to be a way to specify that a given regulator is XOB controlled from device tree. This case comes up on later targets which use multiple PMICs. When it does, the set of LDO/SMPS regulators to be controlled via XOB is carefully chosen at a system level to be sure that a single voltage and mode is acceptable for each regulator. As a side note, there are several PMIC clock buffers which are controlled via XOB. A separate RPMh clock driver will soon be submitted for these. The MSM register space and hardware control logic for each XOB (or VRM) resource is independent so there is no concern about having multiple software entities using XOB to control different resources (regulators vs clocks). >> +- regulator-name >> + Usage: optional >> + Value type: <string> >> + Definition: Specifies the name for this RPMh regulator.

My intention was to list the set of values that the VRM voltage control register will physically accept. As you said, the meaningful/useful range for a given PMIC regulator will be a small subset of this range. I'll remove the "supported values" sentence. >> +- regulator-initial-mode >> + Usage: optional; VRM regulators only >> + Value type: <u32> >> + Definition: Specifies the initial mode to request for a VRM regulator. >> + Supported values are RPMH_REGULATOR_MODE_* which are defined >> + in [1] (i.e. 0 to 4). > > Explicitly state whether this is allowed even if > "regulator-allow-set-load" is not set. Will do. It is allowed without regulator-allow-set-load. This allows a mode to be selected for a regulator even if there isn't a meaningful way to configure the mode dynamically at runtime based on load current. >> +- regulator-allow-set-load >> + Usage: optional >> + Value type: <empty> >> + Definition: Boolean flag indicating that the the mode of this regulator >> + may be configured at runtime based upon consumer load needs. >> + >> +- qcom,allowed-modes > > It would be up to Mark Brown, but my guess is that he will say "please > add this to the core".

No, it is equivalent to struct regulator_desc.min_dropout_uV, but handled in hardware. >> +- qcom,rpmh-resource-type >> + Usage: optional >> + Value type: <string> >> + Definition: RPMh accelerator type for this regulator.

When would you use this? Yes, there are specific board level use cases requiring the use of XOB instead of VRM for regulators which could be managed via VRM. I explained this in more detail above. Take care, David

Looking through the DT binding patches sent to devicetree@vger.kernel.org, it seemed like the preferred style is: [PATCH] dt-bindings: subsystem: ...

Introduce bindings for RPMh regulator devices found on some Qualcomm Technlogies, Inc. SoCs. These devices allow a given processor within the SoC to make PMIC regulator requests which are aggregated within the RPMh hardware block along with requests from other processors in the SoC to determine the final PMIC regulator hardware state.
