The first version of this driver issues a measuring request and polling
for a status register in the device for measuring completes.
vl53l0x support configuring GPIO1 on it to generate interrupt to
indicate that new measurement is ready. This patch adds support for
using this mechanisim to reduce cpu cost.

Hi Song.

Looks correct in principal but a few things to tidy up before
this is ready to apply.

Also we have an unrelated change in here to check the devices ID.
That should be in it's own patch.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Please drop this from the example.  This is board specific rather than
being generally required.

All these i2c comms need checking for errors.  I2c buses aren't always the most
reliable things.

This seems a little strange. Should be initialized already on first
pass for example.  I don't suppose it matters, but feels a bit odd.
You may need to protect against multiple concurrent readers however...

Error checking on that write_byte?

No space after . and \n is normal for a dev_err message.

What does this have to do with interrupt support?

Please break it out as a separate patch.

This should have been split with the complete binding in one patch 
rather than piecemeal driver feature by feature.

Is there more than one interface on this device, such as SPI? If not, 
then '-i2c' should be dropped.

Hi Rob,

A few days ago when I was submitting this driver, I didn't do it very
well, the function of this driver is limited. I added interrupt support 
the next day after you acked my first patch. I thought it's not polite 
to add something after someone acked that patch, so I send the interrupt
support as a second patch. The first patch is merged to togreg now, but
this doesn't. I don't know when can I add new functions to the code that
just merged to togreg branch, could you offer some suggestions?

Yes, there is a CCI(Camera Control Interface) for communication.

You just needed to state why you didn't add a ack. But really, just
don't send things except as RFC until they are "done".

What to do next depends on Jonathan and whether he wants a follow-up
patch or he will drop the first one.

Isn't CCI just a subset of I2C? I should clarify my question is
whether there's more than 1 mutually exclusive control interface (as
many devices have control and data interfaces) where you could have 2
different drivers. A common example are devices with I2C and SPI
interfaces.

The RFC bit actually disagree on.  This driver could be considered 'done'
with just patch 1.  The driver worked, it was useful. When the early
versions of that patch came out Song had no idea how much work it would
be to add interrupt support.  As it turns out it was simple - it often isn't :(

Yeah. I should have picked up on the binding in the second patch and merged
it.  I'd seen the first patch a few times before so was happy with it and
applied before actually looking at the second.

If they had come in separate series in my view the partial binding then
extend with 'optional' elements is fine.  The number of times I've discovered
issues with documentation of hardware that would have made any binding written
from the docs wrong is non trivial. So in my view it is always a gamble to
write bindings until you have tested they work.  I have not problem with
people who are confident and want to add them from the start though.

Obviously this only works for optional elements.

So follow up patch for 'optional' stuff is fine by me.  The only real
issue to my mind here is that they were in the same series, so we should
have seen a separate precursor patch giving the binding for all of it.

Already fixed up when I applied the first patch.  I did more rework on
patch 1 than I'd normally do as I'd sent Song down a dead end with an
incorrect requested change so didn't want to waste more of his time
with a v7 of that patch.  This patch 2 was pretty much new so different
matter!

I meant specifically in the context of this getting revised within a
number of days. I agree that drivers don't have to be complete, but
bindings should be as complete as possible. You can't foresee
everything, but I don't think that applies in this case.

Well, if they were broken is some way, I don't think backwards
compatibility matters and we can still fix things. I'm not talking
about complex cases here. It is pretty trivial to determine whether a
device has an interrupt or not.

Certainly, that can't be avoided sometimes and is fine. It's really
the time frame for this particular case and reviewer bandwidth.

Agreed. The timing wasn't ideal (in this limited sense)  Song got this done much faster than I normally expect
when someone says, I'll do this later! 

Thanks for clarifying.

Hi Rob, Jonathan,

I don't know things about CCI very well, and google also tells me little
about it. Actually, I found it difficult to find a standard definition
about it. Then I dug into vl53l0x's API source code, and what I can
tell is when we use these two interfaces, the whole programming
framework is different, even though the pysical bus of them are likely
to be the same. 
Source code of CCI uses a 'msm_camera_i2c_fn_t' struct and a
'v4l2_file_operations' as hardware interfaces for controlling device,
while the i2c one just uses generic i2c bus interfaces.

This explanation is for why the file name still contains '-i2c'.

yours,
Song Qiang

File names are easy to change in future compared to device tree bindings
(which may be fixed for ever in an embedded platform).

So this isn't a problem at all.
