From: James Calligeros <jcalligeros99@gmail.com>

The opp-microwatt property was added with the intention of providing
platforms a way to specify a precise value for the power consumption
of a device at a given OPP to enable better energy-aware scheduling
decisions by informing the kernel of the total static and dynamic
power of a device at a given OPP, removing the reliance on the EM
subsystem's often flawed estimations. This property is parsed by
opp_parse_supplies(), which creates a hard dependency on the
opp-microvolt property.

Some platforms, such as Apple Silicon, do not describe their device's
voltage regulators in the DT as they cannot be controlled by the kernel
and/or rely on opaque firmware algorithms to control their voltage and
current characteristics at runtime. We can, however, experimentally
determine the power consumption of a given device at a given OPP, taking
advantage of opp-microwatt to provide EAS on such devices as was
initially intended.

Allow platforms to specify and consume any subset of opp-microvolt,
opp-microamp, or opp-microwatt without a hard dependency on
opp-microvolt to enable this functionality on such platforms.

Erroring out here will still block EM registration on platforms without 
the opp-microvolt prop so we're back to square one, which means the 
patch does not do what the description says it does. It behaves
almost identically to the current code.

I assume this is an intentional choice given the comments in
opp_parse_microvolt(), so the commit message should drop 
references to fixing such platforms.

If this is a hard sticking point and opp_parse_supplies() must return
a regulator with opp-microvolt, then I am of the opinion that the parsing
of opp-microwatt should be detangled entirely from the regulator
infrastructure.

Otherwise for the whole series,

I am confused.

With the current code, the following will work:
- all three available
- microvolt available and nothing else.
- only microamp available
- only microwatt available
- both microamp and microwatt available but no microvolt
- and other combinations

Isn't this all we want ?

We error out here when there is a problem with DT entries, i.e. incorrect
entries, etc. Else we will get NULL here and we continue as we don't check for
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() anymore after this patch.

What did you test exactly ? As I thought you will be testing the only microwatt
case here and you say it won't work.

Sorry, I just got a little bit confused :(

You're right, I misinterpreted an error. Details as below.

I did test on the Apple machine with only opp-microwatt, but I misinterpreted
the error. We end up here upon parsing the second OPP:

When this path is removed, things work as expected. Could it be that opp_list has
not been updated by the time we're parsing the next OPP? Seems unlikely, but
at the same time if we're ending up taking this branch then there's not much else
that could have gone wrong.

I did test this and it should have worked for you as well.

It should happen sequentially.

Ahh, I looked code for sometime before I wrote this line. I know what's going
on. Its a bug in the patchset that I fixed yesterday and pushed.

Initialize "ret = 0" in opp_parse_supplies().

Or pick patches from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vireshk/pm.git opp/linux-next

Sorry for the trouble.

 I noticed the mutexes after I got some sleep :)

It didn't even cross my mind that opp_parse_supplies() returning
ret uninitialised was causing the failure further up the chain. Applied
and tested, everything's working as expected now.

This is on me, I should have heeded the compiler warning.

Thanks James for giving this a try. Really appreciate it. The changes are
applied and pushed for linux-next along with your Tested-by.
