This doesn't sound like it's anything to do with the regulators, that's a chip wide power management function which should be implemented via runtime PM if there's any value in implementing it at all (if the device is a primary PMIC normally this would be handled by the CPU core when it enters low power state without any software).

Well, I figured that it would be best to disable the EN pin when we're not using any of the regulators, since that allows the chip to enter standby mode (and thus consume less power). Implementing that logic in the driver seems very redundant when we're one step away from doing it with the core regulator framework. It is also likely that in the future, other chips will use and need to handle a global enable pin for the same purpose, while allowing regulator configuration and enable via registers. It also doesn't hurt regulators that only use a GPIO for enable. The diff to do this is very minimal, I already have a patch ready, that I could send if there is a chance for it to get through. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.

Oh, I should have mentionned that I also suggest making it possible to
use *both* an enable GPIO and registers to enable a regulator. You are
of course right in saying that the GPIO alone is not enough, and the
core regulator framework will currently only do GPIO or registers to
enable not both.
In my opinion, it would be more elegant to adapt the core regulator
framework to first enable the GPIO and then call the regulator enable
ops callback instead of handling the GPIO in the driver.
However, if that change is not welcome to the core regulator framework,
we'll have to deal with the GPIO in the driver (and probably keep it
enabled at all times there).

This isn't really adding support for the enable GPIO as the changelog
suggests, it's requesting but not managing the GPIO. Since there is
core support for manging enable GPIOs this seems especially silly,
please tell the core about the GPIO and then it will work at runtime
too.
With reference to my previous mail, external GPIOs for LDO3 and BUCK2 in
LP8725 can be specified through regulator_config.ena_gpio. BUCK2 only
can be controlled by external pin when CONFIG pin is grounded.
Please see the description at page 5 of the datasheet.
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp8725.pdf
After reading the datasheets thoroughly, it seems to me that for the
lp8720, the EN pin is used to enable the regulators output, which is a
good fit for the core regulator GPIO framework, as there is no reason to
keep it on when no regulator is in use. The serial interface is already
available when EN=0 and regulators can be configured in that state. The
lp8725 seems seems to behave the same when CONFIG=0 (the datasheet
clearly states: "CONFIG=0: EN=1 turns on outputs or standby mode if
EN=0"). On the other hand, it is indeed used as a power-on pin when
CONFIG=1.
I think it's different use case. LP8720/5 are designed for system PMU,
so some regulators are enabled by default after the device is on. EN pin
is used for turning on/off the chip. This pin does not control regulator
outputs directly. It's separate functional block in the silicon.
Well, I really don't understand why the EN pin would turn on/off the
chip. All it does it enable the regulators outputs (by entering IDLE
mode), the serial block is already available in STANDBY state.
If we want some regulators enabled at boot, the best thing to do seems
to be to request the GPIO with the GPIOF_INIT_HIGH flag, as done in e.g.
the max8952 regulator driver:
if (pdata->reg_data->constraints.boot_on)
config.ena_gpio_flags |= GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH;
According to MAX8952 datasheet, output regulator is enabled/disabled
using EN pin, so ena_gpio is used correctly.
However, LP8720/5 regulators are enabled/disabled through I2C command.
Only few regulators of LP8725 can be on/off by separate external pins.
(B2_EN and LDO3_EN)
Please note that EN pin in LP8720/5 is not the control pin for
enabling/disabling regulators.
Best regards,
Milo

Well, I really don't understand why the EN pin would turn on/off the

If we want some regulators enabled at boot, the best thing to do seems
to be to request the GPIO with the GPIOF_INIT_HIGH flag, as done in e.g.

Of course, but the ena_gpio feature is also a good fit for a global
enable pin, as the GPIO can be shared by multiple regulators of the same
chip, which is what we have here.
In my opinion, using the ena_gpio feature is a good fit, as we don't
need to keep the EN pin high when no regulator is used.

please tell the core about the GPIO and then it will work at runtime
too.
With reference to my previous mail, external GPIOs for LDO3 and BUCK2 in
LP8725 can be specified through regulator_config.ena_gpio. BUCK2 only
can be controlled by external pin when CONFIG pin is grounded.
Please see the description at page 5 of the datasheet.
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp8725.pdf
After reading the datasheets thoroughly, it seems to me that for the
lp8720, the EN pin is used to enable the regulators output, which is a
good fit for the core regulator GPIO framework, as there is no reason to
keep it on when no regulator is in use. The serial interface is already
available when EN=0 and regulators can be configured in that state. The
lp8725 seems seems to behave the same when CONFIG=0 (the datasheet
clearly states: "CONFIG=0: EN=1 turns on outputs or standby mode if
EN=0"). On the other hand, it is indeed used as a power-on pin when
CONFIG=1.
I think it's different use case. LP8720/5 are designed for system PMU,
so some regulators are enabled by default after the device is on. EN pin
is used for turning on/off the chip. This pin does not control regulator
outputs directly. It's separate functional block in the silicon.
On the other hand, 'ena_gpio' is used for each regulator control itself.
For example, WM8994 has two LDOs which are controlled by external pins.
LDOs are enabled/disabled through LDO1ENA and LDO2ENA pins. In this
case, 'ena_gpio' is used.

After reading the datasheets thoroughly, it seems to me that for the

good fit for the core regulator GPIO framework, as there is no reason to
keep it on when no regulator is in use. The serial interface is already

lp8725 seems seems to behave the same when CONFIG=0 (the datasheet
clearly states: "CONFIG=0: EN=1 turns on outputs or standby mode if
EN=0"). On the other hand, it is indeed used as a power-on pin when
CONFIG=1.
Since my intent here is to cover the lp8720 use case, I suggest that we
implement this using the core regulator GPIO framework (I have patches
ready for that) and leave out the case where CONFIG=1, which could be
dealt with later by providing that piece of information via platform
data (and devicetree) and then either use the regulator GPIO framework
(when CONFIG=0 and default) or register the GPIO within the driver and
keep it on at all times (when CONFIG=1).
I could most certainly implement that behaviour, but I'd rather leave it
to someone else (or at least the testing) since I don't have any lp8725
to play with.
What do you think?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the patches. Please see my comments below.

LP872x regulators are made active via the EN pin, which might be hooked to a

EN pin is used for enabling HW logic like I2C block. It's not regulator
enable pin. Please check the block diagram in the datasheet.
All regulators of LP8720 and LP8725 are controlled through I2C
registers. Additionally, LP8725 provides external pin control for LDO3
and BUCK2. In this case, you can use 'regulator_config.ena_gpio' when a
regulator is registered.

That GPIO is shared with all regulators that the chip provides, so doing things this way certainly won't work if we don't want all the regulators powered at all times: in that case, the GPIO has precedence over the regulator-specific registers. Doing things the other way round would work and I suppose that chips that can use a GPIO over registers just wouldn't register any ops->enable callback in their description. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.

It looks like the core bindings for GPIO can only be used instead of the
rdev->desc->ops->enable callback, not jointly, which doesn't fit my use
case, where both the GPIO and register write have to be used to enable
regulators.
I think it would be worth making it possible to use both in core, since
that situation is probably shared with other regulators. I suggest the
following diff (that would be split into a separate patch in v2 of this
series):

You're right, I had clearly overlooked this, thanks for pointing it out.
Will send v2 using GPIO handling from core.
