No, it's not same.
My bad that I was not using linux-next for testing this patch.
We tested on kgene/for-next where these changes still have not come.
Just now I checked linux-next and found that it will crash at first line of 
"regmap_get_val_endian" as there is no check for NULL on dev.

I checked git history of regmap.c file and found recently this file has been
modified
for adding DT endianness binding support. Following are set of patches gone
for this

cf673fb regmap: Split regmap_get_endian() in two functions
5844a8b regmap: Fix handling of volatile registers for format_write() chips
45e1a27 regmap: of_regmap_get_endian() cleanup
ba1b53f regmap: Fix DT endianess parsing logic
d647c19 regmap: add DT endianness binding support.

I think there should have been a check for NULL on "dev" in
"regmap_get_val_endian", so that if dev pointer exist then only it makes
sense to get
endianness property from DT. 

I will suggest following fix in regmap.c for this. With following fix I
tested it and it works well
on linux-next also. So if you can confirm following fix is working for you
then I can post this
patch.

--------------------------------------------
Subject: [PATCH] regmap: fix NULL pointer dereference in
 regmap_get_val_endian

Recent commits for getting reg endianess causing NULL pointer
dereference if dev is passed NULL in regmap_init_mmio. This patch
fixes this issue, and allows to parse reg endianess only if dev
and dev->of_node exist.

Hi Pankaj,

One more question:
For example:

regmap_read()
    ----> _regmap_read()
        ----> 2112 #ifdef LOG_DEVICE
        ----> 2113                 if (strcmp(dev_name(map->dev), LOG_DEVICE) == 0)
        ----> 2114                         dev_info(map->dev, "%x => %x\n", reg, *val);
        ----> 2115 #endif 

In dev_name(map->dev) will also encounter the same crash core trace like in
regmap_get_val_endian(dev, ...).

Could there be another method, such as using 'dummy dev' instead of 'NULL dev' ?
Just one suggestion.

I tested the patch work.
But as Xiubo pointed in another mail, it may still cause other issues.
Looking at regmap.c, there're still some other places using the device pointer,
e.g. dev_xxx debug information and some tracepoints also take device pointer
as parameter(not sure if it will break if dev is NULL).
Another thing is that if dev is NULL, we may not be able to use regmap debugfs
feature which seems also not as our expected.

Maybe we could consider create device structure for each syscon compatible
device in syscon driver in of_syscon_register in first time which seems to
be reasonable.

Another question:

Then the regmap core cannot deal with the following issue:
Like the patch adding the endianness support for syscon:
    [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support.

So here just register one dummy syscon device is a good choice I do
think.
:)


Thanks,

And the 'np' must be NULL as default.

Isn't it ?

Thanks for testing. In that case I will post this change, as I feel this
should be
fixed irrespective of my syscon patch.

I would have preferred to check dev for NULL, as it's only at two places and
we could
still have debug prints for NULL dev, as normal pr_info instead of dev_info.

But Xiubo also pointed out that his patch [1] which updates syscon binding
information
will be useless if we pass NULL dev in regmap_init_mmio, which he posted
today,
and it requires dev pointer in "regmap_get_val_endian" function to read DT
property.

[1]: [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/67

So instead of adding dummy device or creating device structure, I would
prefer to get actual
device pointer corresponding to "np" passed in of_syscon_register function
as shown below:

----
static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct device_node *np)
 {
+	struct platform_device *pdev;
 	struct syscon *syscon;
 	struct regmap *regmap;
 	void __iomem *base;
@@ -142,7 +144,11 @@ static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct
device_node *np)
 	if (!base)
 		return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
 
-	regmap = regmap_init_mmio(NULL, base, &syscon_regmap_config);
+	pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np);
+	if (!(&pdev->dev))
+		return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
+
+	regmap = regmap_init_mmio(&pdev->dev, base, &syscon_regmap_config);
 	if (IS_ERR(regmap)) {
 		pr_err("regmap init failed\n");
 		return ERR_CAST(regmap);
-------

I have tested this in linux-next and it works well. In this way there won't
be any issues of 
dereferencing NULL pointer in regmap.c and at the same time, if DT has
{big,little}-endian
optional property in syscon device node, it will be taken care.

So I would wait for Arnd's opinion about above mentioned changes and then
post a new
change after addressing Arnd's minor comment along with this fix in next
revision.

My initial understanding that one important thing for your patch is
to address this issue, isn't it?
Many people have asked for this feature before.

As default the Linux will create all the platform device for each DT node, which
Can be found from "drivers/of/platform.c".

So we can get the pdev node using the specified DT node, and feel safe to use
it as Pankaj's patch does.

And also we must make sure that the 'syscon' DT nodes has the compatible prop.

Thanks,

I mean before the devices are populated from device tree.
For example, we usually call of_platform_populate in .init_machine.
Before it, we may not be able to get it's device, isn't it?

For this case, we'd better create the pdev or dev manually for the first time
We use it, right ?

Yes, that's my understanding.

Thanks for all your inputs. 

First let me clarify that the main purpose of this patch, we introduced this
patch mainly because 
if some HW IP is having secondary compatibility as "syscon", syscon driver
was getting probed
and since there can be only on platform_device corresponding to one
device_node, actual driver
corresponding to that HW IP was not getting probed. So we wanted to decouple
syscon from platform
device, and any such driver should be able to become syscon provider. Please
see discussion here [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/17/331

But while doing so eventually this patch was also able to cover the feature
of early availability of syscon
lookup APIs.

As both of you pointed out that if we use "of_find_device_by_node" and it
won't work for early users
of syscon. I also agree with that, but it just skipped from my mind while
suggesting that approach.

I reconsidered again and made following changes and tested it. Now I am able
to use syscon_lookup_by_xxxxx 
APIs, very early (before dt_machine_init) as well as after
of_platform_populate. So please review and if
it is acceptable I will post next version of this patch.

Basic idea is, check for device_node pointer in of_syscon_register, if
device corresponding to that device_node
is already populated and available use "of_find_device_by_node" else create
a dummy platform device and then
use it.
