There could be simple MFD device(s) connected to a simple PM bus as child
node(s), like Freescale i.MX8qxp pixel link MSI bus. Add a child match
table as an argument to of_platform_populate() function call to specify
the simple MFD devices so that they can be populated.

There could be a simple-bus under it as well. You should just use
of_platform_default_populate() instead.

I'm confused why we even need this patch. Wouldn't this driver
automatically probe simple-mfd buses and populate its child devices?
We already have it in simple_pm_bus_of_match.

I'm wondering if you are trying to workaround the behavior of having
"ONLY_BUS" set in simple_pm_bus_of_match for "simple-mfd". Have you
tried deleting that field and see if it does what you want?

And we wouldn't need to use of_platform_default_populate() because
this driver would take care of doing that recursively. Especially when
you need the clocks and power domain to be able to access the child
devices, you want the driver to probe and do that at each level before
automatically recursively adding all the grand-children devices.

First of all, this driver doesn't populate simple-mfd bus's child
devices because "ONLY_BUS" is set in simple_pm_bus_of_match[] for
simple-mfd. 

The device tree I'm working with is something like this:

bus@560000000 {
	compatible = "fsl,aips-bus", "simple-bus";
	...

	bus@562000000 {
		compatible = "fsl,imx8qm-display-pixel-link-msi-bus", "simple-
pm-bus";
		...

		syscon@56241000 {
			compatible = "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
			...

			syscon_child {};
		};

		/* more regular mmap devices */
	};
};

IIUC, default buses listed in of_default_bus_match_table[], including
simple-bus and simple-mfd, are populated by
of_platform_default_populate() in a recursive fashion, when
of_platform_default_populate_init() is called.  However, simple-pm-bus
is not listed in that table.  So, bus@562000000 (simple-pm-bus) is the
last one to be populated successfully and syscon@56241000 (simple-mfd)
is not populated (recursion stops).

Then, this patch adds a match table to populate syscon@56241000 (simple
-mfd) _and_ it's child nodes when bus@562000000 (simple-pm-bus) is
probed.  of_platform_populate() will populate syscon@56241000 (simple-
mfd) and it's child devices (sycon_child) together. Hence, sycon_child
devices will be probed ok.

The problem is that syscon@56241000 (simple-mfd) fails to be probed
with return code -ENODEV as "ONLY_BUS" is set and "simple-mfd" is the
3rd compatible string. Even if it's probed ok, syscon@56241000 (simple-
mfd) is not power managed, which means syscon_child devices' PM
operations won't be propagated to bus@562000000 (simple-pm-bus) (?). 
Anyway, somehow, syscon_child devices do work, based on my test.
With regard to PM, simple-bus is the same if it sits at simple-mfd's
place.  So, maybe, simple-mfd and simple-bus should be power managed as
well?  Or, simple-pm-bus should have no simple-mfd and simple-bus child
nodes at all?

Without this patch, deleting "ONLY_BUS" works for me, as syscon_child
devices are populated when syscon@56241000 (simple-mfd) is probed.
Deleting "ONLY_BUS" may make simple-mfd a power managed device. Is it a
right thing to do?

Ok, it's working as intended so far.

I think of_platform_default_populate() is the right solution here
instead of spinning up a new table. Because a tree of simple-bus
children of simple-pm-bus would have the same problem you are facing
with simple-mfd's children not being populated.

Ah, thanks for the example of your DT. My bad, I had forgotten the
"simple-mfd" is one of the default populate busses and can be a 2nd or
later entry in the compatible string and still have its children
populated by default by OF platform code.

Aren't you seeing this propagation issue even with your current patches?

The problem is that there are cases of devices with real drivers that
also list simple-bus as their secondary compatible string. So we can't
really remove any of the existing ONLY_BUS as that could cause
simple-pm-bus driver to probe them instead of the real driver.

In your case, why even list this as "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr"? Can't you
just change your compatible string from:
"fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
To:
"simple-pm-bus", "syscon", "simple-mfd";

You are treating it exactly as a simple-pm-bus. So I don't see what
this extra "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr" distinction brings. Or make it if you
really want the "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr" in there:
"fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr", "simple-pm-bus", "syscon", "simple-mfd";

If you are actually going to write a driver for "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr"
then you need to have that driver bind to this device of yours and do
PM management and populate the child devices if they aren't already.

Long story short, with what I understand so far, I think what you need
to do are:
1. Patch to manage clock.
2. Patch to use of_platform_default_populate()
3. Fix up the compatible string to list simple-pm-bus in it.

Ignore my point about deleting ONLY_BUS. That's wrong because then the
simple-pm-bus driver can end up probing any device that lists
simple-mfd even if there's another driver that could (like
"fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr") and we don't want that.

It seems that of_platform_default_populate() is _not_ the right
solution, because simple-bus/simple-mfd devices probed by this driver,
as child nodes of simple-pm-bus, are not power managed buses, which
means simple-bus/simple-mfd's child devices PM operations cannot be
propagated to simple-pm-bus.  I'm assuming that simple-bus/simple-mfd
devices probed by this driver should not be child nodes of simple-pm-
bus at all.

I realized this propagation issue with this patch of mine when I looked
at Rob's comment - to use of_platform_default_populate() to cover
simple-bus. This propagation issue is the reason why I'm assuming
simple-bus/simple-mfd devices probed by this driver should not be child
nodes of simple-pm-bus at all.

I don't attempt to remove any of the existing ONLY_BUS.

fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml[1](already upstreamed) mentions "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-
csr" and "fsl,imx8qxp-mipi-lvds-csr" compatible string entries. It
follows the SoC name(e.g., imx8qm) + subsytem name(e.g., lvds) + IP
name(csr) fashion, which exactly tells what the IP is. Although no real
device tree is using the IP yet, I tend not to change the compatible
string (DT maintainers usually don't like the change I'm assuming).

If you take a look at the examples in fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml[1], you'll
find that a "ipg" clock is syscon@56221000's property. Drivers[2][3]
for child nodes pxl2dpi/ldb call syscon_node_to_regmap() to get regmaps
from the syscon. The problem is that syscon_node_to_regmap() attaches
the "ipg" clock to the regmaps by calling device_node_get_regmap() with
"check_clk = true". Then, the clock will be managed by both the regmap
driver and the simple-pm-bus driver, thus unreasonable clock enable
count. I know drivers[2][3] may call device_node_to_regmap() instead
with "check_clk = false", but the drivers will be changed and they
don't really know which funtion should be called.

[2] drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/imx/imx8qxp-pxl2dpi.c
[3] drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/imx/imx-ldb-helper.c


And, like I mentioned, "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr" tells the exact IP ...

... and can be used by a dedicated driver - yes, I'm going to write a
driver for "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr". The driver probe function just
essentially calls pm_runtime_enable() and devm_of_platform_populate(),
that's it. Leave the "ipg" clock managed by the regmap driver.

Make sense?

I'll do this, just like patch 2 does.

Nope for this one.
Based on my understanding, I won't use of_platform_default_populate()
in this driver to populate child nodes of simple-bus/simple-mfd devices
.

> 3. Fix up the compatible string to list simple-pm-bus in it.

Nope, I'm afraid I'm not willing to change the compatible string.

So, it looks like what I need to do are:
1. Drop this patch (patch 1).
2. Patch to manage clocks (patch 2).
3. Add a dedicated driver for "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr"/"fsl,imx8qxp-mipi-
lvds-csr".
