I kinda agree with this. Just because we no longer use a syscon API to
find the PMU register address doesn't mean the WDT doesn't depend on
the PMU.
However, I think we should move to a generic "syscon" property. Then I
can add support for "syscon" property to fw_devlink and then things
will just work in terms of probe ordering, suspend/resume and also
showing the dependency in DT even if you don't use the syscon APIs.
Side note 1:
I think we really should officially document a generic syscon DT
property similar to how we have a generic "clocks" or "dmas" property.
Then we can have a syscon_get_regmap() that's like so:
struct regmap *syscon_get_regmap(struct device *dev)
{
return syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(dev->of_node, "syscon");
}
Instead of every device defining its own bespoke DT property to do the
exact same thing. I did a quick "back of the envelope" grep on this
and I get about 143 unique properties just to get the syscon regmap.
$ git grep -A1 syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle | grep '"' | sed -e
's/^[^"]*//' -e 's/"[^"]*$/"/' | sort | uniq | wc -l
143
Side note 2:
How are we making sure that it's the exynos-pmu driver that ends up
probing the PMU and not the generic syscon driver? Both of these are
platform drivers. And the exynos PMU device lists both the exynos
compatible string and the syscon property. Is it purely a link order
coincidence?
