Yes, please.


yeah, the driver has started showing it's age, it will be good to do a
refactor.


Laxman,

I got the dt parsing with new method from regulator framework part, But
by new method do you also want to remove the dt compatible of
regulators and let only the mfd compatible stay?

replace of_platform_populate with mfd_add_devices so that linux
handles the drivers split up and not the device tree?



The DT binding of child devices of the palmas are like that each sub
node has compatible.
So I dont think we can change this to avoid regression.

However, if we make the child devices independent of the parent devices
then it will be very useful to use across different PMIC if they have
same IP.
Currently, child devices are very much tightly coupled with parent
devices for the register access and global structure member accces.

This is exactly what we did for the max77686 RTC driver which is used by
max77686, max77802 and max77620.

There is two mfd core driver, max77686 and max77620 and uses same RTC
driver rtc-max77686.c


Laxman,

Sorry for responding late on this thread. The new way of the dt parsing 
with the new method expects the driver to populate vsel_reg, vsel_mask,

enable_reg, enable_mask.

The inherent difference in palmas regulator driver w.r.t handling 
regulators is that this driver treats smps and ldo differently. It has 
separate read/write functions for both and goes by separate base 
addresses for spmp and ldo. Now to get all this unified under one 
regulator_desc array a lot of code churn would be needed in both header 
and C files. Not sure if that is okay.

Keerthy
