The APX20X_POWER option, that is a dependency of the USB controllers
depends on IIO and AXP20X_ADC. Add it so that we can get a working USB
back.

The statement is only half true. AXP20X_POWER can fall back to reading
the ADC registers directly if AXP20X_ADC is not enabled. Is there a plan
to remove this feature?

Also, AXP20X_ADC is only really needed if the hardware is AXP20x, and
not the later ones that don't have voltage/current sensing. I would
like to change the hard dependency on AXP20X_ADC to the "imply"
keyword in Kconfig for the AC and battery power supply drivers.
That is another discussion though.

So I think the description should be something like

    AXP20X_POWER depends on IIO. Even though it does not depend on
    AXP20X_ADC, it is the new, preferred way of getting power supply
    readings. The other AXP power supply drivers use it as well.

    Enable both options.

Hi all,

I've been Cc'ed by Chen-Yu I think, thanks for the heads-up.

For any PMIC using "x-powers,axp202-usb-power-supply" compatible, that
is true, the others imperatively use IIO channels as there was no prior
support to this driver.

The switch between reading IIO channels or directly reading the
registers is done at probe by checking IS_ENABLED(AXP20X_ADC)
(IS_ENABLED returns 1 when Kconfig is set to y or m). The goal was to
not break the existing system when users would update to a newer kernel
(as they may not have selected AXP20X_ADC).

Since there is no hard dependency between AXP20X_ADC and AXP20X_POWER, I
think we may have a problem when AXP20X_ADC is built as a module. Then
AXP20X_POWER probing is deferred since it waits for the IIO channels.
Also, if you do a modprobe on AXP20X_POWER it'll not probe AXP20X_ADC
because the dependency is not declared. I don't know if there is a way
to declare this dependency programatically only when AXP20X_ADC is built
as a module?

As said above (and in the commit log[1]), I added the condition for
backward compatibility so anyone could still use AXP20X_POWER without
the ADC, but maybe that is irrelevant? This could solve a bit of the
"complexity" of the driver, now that we know we want to enforce
AXP20X_ADC to be built with AXP20X_POWER. I'm obviously okay to remove
this feature if my point of backward compatibility is irrelevant.

But now, we still have the problem that AXP20X_ADC is not needed for
AXP20X_POWER for AXP22X (and those that don't have voltage/current
sensing). We don't really need to force AXP20X_ADC to be built when the
user want AXP20X_POWER.

1) We force AXP20X_ADC to be built whenever AXP20X_POWER is built, even
for PMICs that don't have any voltage/current sensing. This way, we can
enforce the dependency in Kconfig and everything's easy,

2) We programmatically set the dependency between AXP20X_ADC and
AXP20X_POWER depending on the compatible used (AXP20X set the
dependency, not AXP22X).

There's request_module(), which actually asks the kernel to load a
module, or MODULE_SOFTDEP, which looks like an additional tag for
modprobe. The former gives you more control. The latter doesn't seem
to be used a lot.

It was a good idea, considering we haven't added the new symbols to
any of the defconfigs. Alternatively, we could have all the AXP20X
sub-drivers have "default MFD_AXP20X". This way no one forgets to
enable new drivers.

We could also look at it this way: does the user need/want the additional
voltage/current information? If not, then even IIO is not a requirement.
We could wrap all the related blocks in "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IIO))",
and also trim the exposed power supply properties along with.

The hard dependency can then be dropped to a soft "implies".

I have to say your first option is easier.

The only compatibility we care about is the DT one. We don't care
about config options.

That's backward. The dependency is from AXP20X_POWER to
AXP20X_ADC. That's it, we should express it as such.

Why not just adding a depends on?

I never really considered this a feature, but some compatibility for
older DTs to be honest :)

I'm not sure. It's also needed when you want to read the battery
voltage and current, or the AC-IN voltage. And that's a feature found
on all PMICs.

And since the battery and the AC-IN power supplies also have a
dependency on AXP20X_ADC, I guess we can just add a depnds on. In most
configuration, it's going to be enabled anyway.

Indeed.

That works for me.

You want AXP20X_POWER to depends on AXP20X_ADC (AXP20X_ADC built when
AXP20X_POWER is built, which is what I said). We agree on the same thing
here.

Because there is no dependency for AXP22X PMICs' USB power supply driver
on AXP20X_ADC. AXP22X PMICs do not receive any information from the ADC.

Have nothing to do with backward compatibility for DT as the DT hasn't
changed. The IIO channels are exposed via an IIO map in the ADC driver
and retrieved from the map in the USB power supply driver. No need for
DT, no changes in DT.

Not really, or at least it's not what it sounded like. "Forcing
AXP20X_ADC to be built whenever AXP20X_POWER is built" is a select
dependency, not a depends on.

Anyway... it's great to know that we were both thinking to add a
depends on.

You won't be able to deal with all cases properly...

Applied with that commit log, thanks!
