The problem with separate properties is that there is not a way to
detect the error of specifying multiple conflicting force-modes
at compile time.

It also means you can not override the default force-mode from one
.dts/.dtsi in another .dts/.dtsi.

+1 for kumar's comment.

cant enforce the order here. should fix it in the driver.



Yes I can, this is as decided by the devicetree maintainers. The order
of e.g. reg and interrupts must be defined.


Does not make sense. Unless Am missing something obvious.
Having reg-names/interrupt-names would give driver flexibility to get 
the resources by name, as long as the order of reg and reg-names match.


So the order of reg is really not really necessary. Unless the driver is 
coded to access it via index.


Hardly 1/2 bindings documents enforce this.

Why should these devices be on sub nodes?

Any reason not to implement it like this,

rpm: rpm@108000 {
 compatible = "qcom,rpm-msm8960";

 reg = <0x108000 0x1000 0x2011008 0x4>;

 interrupts = <0 19 0>, <0 21 0>, <0 22 0>;
 interrupt-names = "ack", "err", "wakeup";
};

pm8921_s1: pm8921-s1 {
 compatible = "qcom,rpm-pm8921-smps";

 regulator-min-microvolt = <1225000>;
 regulator-max-microvolt = <1225000>;
 regulator-always-on;

 qcom,rpm = <&rpm QCOM_RPM_PM8921_S1>;
 qcom,switch-mode-frequency = <320>;
 qcom,hpm-threshold = <10>;
};

This would simplify the driver code too and handle the interface neatly then
depending on device hierarchy.
rpm would be a interface library to the clients. Makes the drivers more
independent, and re-usable if we do this way.


The subnodes doesn't describe separate pieces of hardware but rather
pieces of the rpm, that's why they should live inside the rpm. There
will not be any re-use of these drivers outside having a rpm as
parent.

I do have some patches for family b, where I'm moving things around a
little bit in the implementation to be able to re-use child-devices
where that makes sense (clock implementation is the same for the two).
But that is implementation specific and does not affect the dt.


Good point, Am more of thinking of some other SOCs might have similar pmic.



Implementation wise, having the individual subnodes as children in the
device model makes a lot of sense, as the children should be probed
when the rpm appears and when the rpm goes away it should bring down
all subnodes. If there was any power management it would be the same
thing.

Thats great, you have already thought about it.


So I think this makes for a cleaner implementation; all I need to do
is to call of_platform_populate at the end of the probe and in remove
I need to tell the children that they should go away. I do not need to
support any phandle based lookups and separate life cycle management.


Am ok with either approaches.

Probably qcom,force-mode:

Makes it much simpler, as they seems to be mutually exclusive. simillar

Ok. I don’t have a strong feeling on any of those 3 approaches.

This is just a list of virtual identifiers, so unless you object to

The DT guys have been clear on that the order of the reg property must
be fixed, no matter if you have reg-names or not. But I will make sure
to clarify this by being specific in the definition of "reg" as well.

This would simplify the driver code too and handle the interface neatly then

rpm would be a interface library to the clients. Makes the drivers more

??


One reason to go with sub nodes is it creates a proper driver ordering 
dependency as I assume rpm driver will end up calling of_platform_populate for 
the sub nodes at the point that the RPM driver is ready.  We could do this with 
deferred probe but doing it explicitly is better in my opinion as it limits the 
amount of time between when RPM is ready vs when the children can start doing 
things



I agree, there might be a win. But Am not sure to what extent this win 
is a win to rpm driver, as a side effect this brings other 
responsibilities to the rpm driver like adding sub-device power 
management awareness, device life cycle management to the rpm driver.


Only thing which made me think of this approach is the number of sub 
nodes it would end up with and passing ID using reg property.

One reason to go with sub nodes is it creates a proper driver ordering 
dependency as I assume rpm driver will end up calling of_platform_populate for 
the sub nodes at the point that the RPM driver is ready.  We could do this with 
deferred probe but doing it explicitly is better in my opinion as it limits the 
amount of time between when RPM is ready vs when the children can start doing 
things

cant enforce the order here. should fix it in the driver.

Why should these devices be on sub nodes?

Any reason not to implement it like this,

rpm: rpm@108000 {
compatible = "qcom,rpm-msm8960";
reg = <0x108000 0x1000 0x2011008 0x4>;

interrupts = <0 19 0>, <0 21 0>, <0 22 0>;
interrupt-names = "ack", "err", "wakeup";
};

pm8921_s1: pm8921-s1 {
compatible = "qcom,rpm-pm8921-smps";

regulator-min-microvolt = <1225000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1225000>;
regulator-always-on;

qcom,rpm = <&rpm QCOM_RPM_PM8921_S1>;
qcom,switch-mode-frequency = <320>;
qcom,hpm-threshold = <10>;
};

This would simplify the driver code too and handle the interface neatly 
then depending on device hierarchy.
rpm would be a interface library to the clients. Makes the drivers more 
independent, and re-usable if we do this way.

If order maters, it should be on reg not reg-names.  If order doesn’t mater 
than this should say the names should match the reg

again, if order maters it should be with the interrupts prop, not the name.

Can we provide a bit more description about what “namespace” this reg is work 
in.
