So in the end you are saying we need a separate driver to get written
(because of ‘compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux”;’)
That is unless you would allow:
compatible = compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux”, “syscon”;
If this is not acceptable, then where should such a driver go in the
kernel tree?
It would essentially implement the following:
bcm2835aux_enable(dev, device-id);
bcm2835aux_disable(dev, device-id);
Which would just set/clean the bits in the register while holding a lock.
As an alternative: maybe we could implement it as an IRQ driver
and when the irq is requested for that device, then the HW-block gets
enabled automatically (and disabled when released).
That way we may not need to have a separate driver that would enable
the uart1, but it would be sufficient to configure it as follows:
uart1: uart@7e215040 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-uart", "ns16550";
reg = <0x7e215040 0x40>;
interrupts = <X 0>;
clock-frequency = <500000000>;
reg-shift = <2>;
no-loopback-test;
status = "disabled";
};
(taken from the foundation device-tree)
Please clarify
Thanks,
Martin--
