I didn't quite understand what you meant by interconnect driver instance. qspi_base and qspi_mmap region are tightly bound to each other and both needs to be accessed by ti-qspi driver (though different targets). Besides qspi_mmap region is only used to read data, there will not be any write accesses to this target. Are you saying this binding is not viable? >>> The CTRL_CORE_CONTROL_IO_2 needs seems like a shared clock register that >>> needs to be accessed using the clock framework most likely. >>> >> >> Not shared clock. >> The CTRL_CORE_CONTROL_IO_2[10:8] QSPI_MEMMAPPED_CS bit fields provides a >> functionality for remapping the previously described address space which >> starts at 0x5C000000 L3_MAIN address to one of the four supported chip >> selects. >> How about using syscon to access CTRL_CORE_CONTROL_IO_2? > > A separate driver implementing some Linux generic framework would be idael :) > > But if that does not fit, yeah then syscon makes sense as that IO range > will be on separate interconnect driver (and clock and possibly power domain) > instances eventually. > I will go ahead with syscon for accessing CTRL_CORE_CONTROL_IO_2 register. -- Regards Vignesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
