[1/7] regulator: qcom-labibb: Switch voltage ops from linear_range to linear commit: 9a12eb704ea27826ece4414cb8822388ec54883c [2/7] regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement current limiting commit: 8056704ba948c1c54c7a67d78a8399a749f2d04b [3/7] regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement pull-down, softstart, active discharge commit: 3bc7cb99fb6eafae5a40bf71ded444df70a425f7 [4/7] dt-bindings: regulator: qcom-labibb: Document soft start properties commit: 5581304004659ddc8d0d45561c1f2abfe080b4d4 [5/7] regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement short-circuit and over-current IRQs commit: 390af53e04114f790d60b63802a4de9d815ade03 [6/7] dt-bindings: regulator: qcom-labibb: Document SCP/OCP interrupts commit: 9499200484669fe33c20c735a3d5a29a0dc0e9d4 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
Okay, the title may be a little "aggressive"? However, the qcom-labibb driver wasn't really .. doing much. The current form of this driver is only taking care of enabling or disabling the regulators, which is pretty useless if they were not pre-set from the bootloader, which sets them only if continuous splash is enabled. Moreover, some bootloaders are setting a higher voltage and/or a higher current limit compared to what's actually required by the attached hardware (which is, in 99.9% of the cases, a display) and this produces a higher power consumption, higher heat output and a risk of actually burning the display if kept up for a very long time: for example, this is true on at least some Sony Xperia MSM8998 (Yoshino platform) and especially on some Sony Xperia SDM845 (Tama platform) smartphones. In any case, the main reason why this change was necessary for us is that, during the bringup of Sony Xperia MSM8998 phones, we had an issue with the bootloader not turning on the display and not setting the lab and ibb regulators before booting the kernel, making it impossible to powerup the display. With this said, this patchset enables setting voltage, current limiting, overcurrent and short-circuit protection.. and others, on the LAB/IBB regulators. Each commit in this patch series provides as many informations as possible about what's going on and testing methodology. Changes in v4: - Remove already applied commit - Add commit to switch to regulator_{list,map}_voltage_linear which in v3 got squashed in the commit that got removed in v4. Changes in v3: - Improved check for PBS disable and short-circuit condition: during the testing of short-circuit, coincidentally another register reading zero on the interesting bit was probed, which didn't trigger a malfunction of the SC logic, but was also wrong. After the change, the short-circuit test was re-done in the same way as described in the commit that is implementing it. - From Bjorn Andersson review: - Improved documentation about over-current and short-circuit protection in the driver - Improved maintainability of qcom_labibb_sc_recovery_worker() - Flipped around check for PBS vreg disabled in for loop of function labibb_sc_err_handler() - From Mark Brown (forgotten in v2): - Changed regulator_{list,map}_voltage_linear_range usages to regulator_{list,map}_voltage_linear (and fixed regulator descs to reflect the change). Changes in v2: - From Mark Brown review: - Replaced some if branches with switch statements - Moved irq get and request in probe function - Changed short conditionals to full ones - Removed useless check for ocp_irq_requested - Fixed issues with YAML documentation AngeloGioacchino Del Regno (7): regulator: qcom-labibb: Switch voltage ops from linear_range to linear regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement current limiting regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement pull-down, softstart, active discharge dt-bindings: regulator: qcom-labibb: Document soft start properties regulator: qcom-labibb: Implement short-circuit and over-current IRQs dt-bindings: regulator: qcom-labibb: Document SCP/OCP interrupts arm64: dts: pmi8998: Add the right interrupts for LAB/IBB SCP and OCP .../regulator/qcom-labibb-regulator.yaml | 30 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pmi8998.dtsi | 8 +- drivers/regulator/qcom-labibb-regulator.c | 720 +++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 735 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-)
