I hope an updated version of this series lands upstream with your work as the efforts made at BeagleBoard.org Foundation makes development simpler by adding plug and play support to these add-on boards. Also this series mentions only the case where mikroBUS port is present physically on the board, but there can be mikroBUS ports appearing over greybus and that is the reason why greybus manifest was chose as descriptor format - the series needs to describe these details so that a reviewer has the necessary information to review your patches.

I request you give credit to the original author atleast as a Co-author with Co-developed by tag, As there there was a significant amount of work done by myself to come up with this specs and get everything working on close to 150 mikrobus add-on boards on physical mikroBUS ports and over greybus: https://github.com/vaishnavachath/manifesto/tree/mikrobusv3/manifests The driver today is poorly written and was one of the first Linux kernel development work I did while I was still in college so I might have made a lot of blunders and just rebasing and reposting will not get this to an acceptable state, here is what I would recommend: * Drop all the unnecessary changes in the mikroBUS driver to support fixed-regulators, fixed-clocks, serdev device .etc and implement minimal changes to support the mikroBUS clickid devices. * Provide necessary justification to why the particular descriptor format (greybus manifest) is chosen, with pull request to manifesto and greybus-specification. https://github.com/projectara/greybus-spec and similar to : https://github.com/projectara/manifesto/pull/2 * Move the mikrobus W1 driver to w1/ subsytem, it is a standard W1 EEPROM driver (also a standard part with updated family code) * Keep a RFC series of changes where mikroBUS ports can appear over greybus to justify why the identifier format needs to be extended greybus manifest. > dt-bindings: misc: Add mikrobus-connector > w1: Add w1_find_master_device Dependent patches that goes to different subsytems should be sent first separately to avoid confusion and then your series should mention the necessary dependencies.

Another alternative is you can point to your fork with all the changes together. >>> Vaishnav M A (1): >>> serdev: add of_ helper to get serdev controller >>> >> Drop this from initial series, >> I will provide further feedback from my TI e-mail, >> Vaishnav Achath <vaishnav.a@ti.com> >> >> Thank again for taking this up, >> >> Thanks and Regards, >> Vaishnav >> >>> .../bindings/misc/mikrobus-connector.yaml | 110 ++ >>> MAINTAINERS | 7 + >>> .../arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am625-beagleplay.dts | 76 +- >>> drivers/misc/Kconfig | 1 + >>> drivers/misc/Makefile | 1 + >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/Kconfig | 19 + >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/Makefile | 6 + >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_core.c | 942 ++++++++++++++++++ >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_core.h | 201 ++++ >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_id.c | 229 +++++ >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_manifest.c | 502 ++++++++++ >>> drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_manifest.h | 20 + >>> drivers/regulator/fixed-helper.c | 1 + >>> drivers/spi/spi.c | 206 ++-- >>> drivers/tty/serdev/core.c | 19 + >>> drivers/w1/w1.c | 6 +- >>> drivers/w1/w1_int.c | 27 + >>> include/linux/greybus/greybus_manifest.h | 49 + >>> include/linux/serdev.h | 4 + >>> include/linux/spi/spi.h | 4 + >>> include/linux/w1.h | 1 + >>> 21 files changed, 2318 insertions(+), 113 deletions(-) >>> create mode 100644 >>> Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/mikrobus-connector.yaml >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/Kconfig >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/Makefile >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_core.c >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_core.h >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_id.c >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_manifest.c >>> create mode 100644 drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus_manifest.h >>> >>> >>> base-commit: 61996c073c9b070922ad3a36c981ca6ddbea19a5 >>> -- >>> 2.44.0 >>> > > I guess I will start with only i2c and spi support and go from there. > Agreed, even with those you can get close to 100 add-on boards working.
