Hi,

This series is a cleanup and improvement of the MT6358 regulator driver.
Various discrepancies were found while preparing to upstream MT8186
device trees, which utilize the MT6366 PMIC, that is also covered by
this driver.

Patches 1~8 should go through the regulator tree, and patch 9 through
the soc tree. This series (patches 7 and 8) depends on "regulator: Use
bitfield values for range selectors" [1] I sent out earlier.

This series can be seen as three parts: 

Part 1 - Fixing bogus regulators (patches 1~4 and 9)

There are some regulators listed in the bindings and driver that have no
corresponding pin on the actual hardware. MediaTek says these are a
hardware construct for shared control of the same regulator in the
VCN33 case and an alternative control scheme for low power suspend.

In the VCN33 case, there's only one actual regulator, so we merge the
two and rename them to match the hardware pin. No existing devices use
these AFAICT, so this should be safe to change.

In the *_SSHUB case, the two extra regulators refer to alternative
configuration registers of the same regulators. They are intended for
the SoC's low power mode companion processor to use, not the main
processor or OS. It should be left to the implementation to choose
which set of registers to actually control.

Part 2 - Code cleanup (patches 5 and 6)

Various tables in the regulator driver were not constant, even though
they are just lookup tables. With some reworking of the code, they are
made constant.

Also, some regulators that have a single linear range were using linear
range helpers. This is more complicated than just declaring the range
and step directly in the description. This is simplified to use the
latter approach.

Part 3 - Output voltage fine tuning support (patches 7 and 8)

Many of the LDOs on these PMIC support an extra level of output voltage
fine tuning. Most default to no offset, but a couple have a non-zero
offset by default. Previously this was unaccounted for in the driver and
device tree constraints. On the outputs with non-zero offset, this ends
up becoming a discrepancy between the device tree and actual hardware.
These two patches adds support for this second level of tuning, modeled
as bunch of linear ranges. While it's unlikely we need this level of
control, it's nice to be able to read back the accurate hardware
settings.

Please have a look. After this series is done I'll send out patches for
the MT6366 PMIC, which is what started this. That will also include
updated YAML bindings for MT6366. I think we can merge MT6358 bindings
into them afterwards.

Thanks
ChenYu

      (no commit info)
[8/9] regulator: mt6358: Add output voltage fine tuning to variable LDOs
      (no commit info)

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
