No. I hear you clearly that you for some reason dislike fan[1..n]_input.
While ABIs are not always to our liking, that doesn't mean that we get
to change them at our whim. If that is not acceptable for you, I can't
help you. And you can't change inX_input to inX_voltage either, sorry.


My opinion is only to not use "input" as this is not really the input to 
fan.

I am planning to add tachometer support in pwm-fan.c driver (drivers/hwmon/) 
instead of adding new generic-pwm-tachometer.c driver. Measuring RPM value will 
be done in pwm-fan driver itself using pwm capture feature and will add new 
sysfs attributes under this driver to report rpm value of fan.


There is an existing attribute to report the RPM of fans. It is called 
fan[1..n]_input.

"replacing "fan1_input" with "rpm" is not an acceptable ABI change"

Preemptive NACK.


The RPM is measured speed via PWM signal capture  which is output from fan.
So should we have the fan[1..n]_output_rpm?

"rpm" is not a standard hwmon sysfs attribute. If you don't provide
a single standard hwmon sysfs attribute, having a hwmon driver is 
pointless.

Guenter Roeck,
I will define a new hwmon sysfs attribute node called 
"hwmon_tachometer_attributes"

I am kind of lost. Please explain.

Are you saying that we should drop the pwm-fan driver as well (which goes
the opposite way), as well as any other drivers doing anything with pwm
signals,
because after all those signals are already exposed to userspace a sysfs
attributes,
and a kernel driver to abstract those values is thus not needed ?

The only thing this driver does is do a constant division in kernelspace.
I'm not really seeing why that couldn't be done in userspace. But if you
think it's appropriate to do the RPM conversion in kernelspace then I'm not
greatly opposed to that.


Isn't that true for any conversion from and to pwm values ? Voltages,
for example ? Should those be handled in userspace as well ?

Note that I am not entirely convinced that the approach suggested in this
patch series makes sense. Patch 4 seems to move the notion of a tachometer
into the pwm subsystem. I am not really convinced that this makes sense
(maybe all that code should be in the hwmon driver instead, or in a thermal
driver if the author prefers). But that is a different issue. The question
you raised is if there should be any abstraction to or from raw pwm values
in the kernel.
Since tachometer driver implements PWM capture callback feature, I have 
added it under pwm driver as pwm-tegra-tachometer.c driver.
If the best approach is to have this tachometer driver under hwmon 
driver then I will move it to hwmon driver.



In any case, we cannot add something like this to device tree since
it's not a hardware device.


So you are saying there is no means to express in devicetree that
a pwm input is connected to a fan ? How is that not hardware ?

If so, how do you express in devicetree that a pwm signal is connected
to anything ?

If we want to describe that the tachometer is connected to a fan, then we
should have a fan node in the board's device tree. We don't have a chip that
has a thing called "generic-pwm-tachometer" attached to it. (We have chips
that have a "nvidia,tegra186-tachometer", so it's proper to have that.)


So you are concerned about the property name ? I don't really care how
it is called.
