Several drivers create their own devicetree property when they register
poweroff capabilities. This is for example the case for mfd, regulator
or power drivers which define "vendor,system-power-controller" property.
This patch adds support for a standard property "poweroff-source"
which marks the device as able to shutdown the system.

This is not the final location, I have no idea exactly where I might
put this helper function. This is why I ask you your opinion (and
also, this is why that's a proposal)

Hi Romain,

This is an extremely simple wrapper. It may be best to simply make it
a static inline. It is also generic enough that I don't have a problem
with it living in include/linux/of.h; but of_regulator.h would be fine
too.

Since this is a device tree specific function (it doesn't work with
ACPI or platform_data), you should prefix the function name with of_

g.


What I'm more concerned about is the semantics of the property. What
do the generic code paths gain by standardizing this property? Is it
expected that

I think of.h might be a better idea - it's not something that needs to
be regulator specific, system power controllers could provide the same
functionality but may not offer any regulator control to Linux.

We really need to come up with a standard property for this and document
it rather than continuing to add individual device specific properties
each time a driver adds poweroff capability,
all doing the same thing (a lot of regulators driver, mfd drivers, soc
specific drivers, power drivers already do that, that's very redudant)
. This is a simple unification logic.
About its name, I found my inspiration with "wakeup-source" which
marks an device as able to wakeup the system, poweroff capability is
exactly the same
except that the device will control the power of the system, so I
choose "poweroff-source". However, suggestions are welcome ;)

About of_regulator.c, I agree with Mark. poweroff capability is not
really specific to regulators, so it does not make sense to put the
helper there, imho.

[seems to be missing some text in the original mail]

We currently see an influx of system-power-controller variants. While in the 
past it only was
	ti,system-power-controller

there is now already
	maxim,system-power-controller
	rockchip,system-power-controller

Romain's work would introduce "active-semi,system-power-controller", I have a 
"netronix,system-power-controller" sitting in some distant tree and there may 
be more already waiting somewhere.

So in the worst case I'd think you could expect such a property for every 
pmic-vendor in vendor-prefixes.txt ... as it seems to be a quite common use-
case these days to have the pmic handle system power on its own.

Yes, it's fine. I accidentally left that paragraph in when I sent my
reply. I started writing that concern, and then thought better of it.
The property is fine.

This seems fine from a code point of view but as discussed it's probably
better placed outside of the regulator API.  Making it a static inline
doesn't seem like a bad idea either.
