regulator: core - Rework machine API to remove string based functions.
This improves the machine level API in order to configure regulator constraints and consumers as platform data and removes the old string based API that required several calls to set up each regulator. The intention is to create a struct regulator_init_data, populate it's fields with constraints, consumers devices, etc and then register the regulator device from board.c in the standard Linux way. e.g. regulator LDO2 (supplying codec and sim) platform data. /* regulator LDO2 consumer devices */ static struct regulator_consumer_supply ldo2_consumers[] = { { .dev = &platform_audio_device.dev, .supply = "codec_avdd", }, { .dev = &platform_sim_device.dev, .supply = "sim_vcc", } }; /* regulator LDO2 constraints */ static struct regulator_init_data ldo2_data = { .constraints = { .min_uV = 3300000, .max_uV = 3300000, .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL, .apply_uV = 1, }, .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(ldo2_consumers), .consumer_supplies = ldo2_consumers, }; /* machine regulator devices with thier consumers and constraints */ static struct platform_device wm8350_regulator_devices[] = { { .name = "wm8350-regulator", .id = WM8350_LDO_2, .dev = { .platform_data = &ldo2_data, }, }, }; Changes in detail:- o Removed all const char* regulator config functions in machine API. o Created new struct regulator_init_data to contain regulator machine configuration constraints and consmuers. o Changed set_supply(), set_machine_constraints(), set_consumer_device_supply() to remove their string identifier parameters. Also made them static and moved functions nearer top of core.c. o Removed no longer used inline func to_rdev() o Added regulator_get_init_drvdata() to retrieve init data. o Added struct device* as parameter to regulator_register(). o Changed my email address.

===================================
The regulator machine driver interface is intended for board/machine specific
-initialisation code to configure the regulator subsystem. Typical things that
-machine drivers would do are :-
+initialisation code to configure the regulator subsystem.
- 1. Regulator -> Device mapping.
- 2. Regulator supply configuration.
- 3. Power Domain constraint setting.
-
-
-
-1. Regulator -> device mapping
-==============================
Consider the following machine :-
Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
@@ -21,81 +12,82 @@ Consider the following machine :-
The drivers for consumers A & B must be mapped to the correct regulator in
order to control their power supply. This mapping can be achieved in machine
-initialisation code by calling :-
+initialisation code by creating a struct regulator_consumer_supply for
+each regulator.
+
+struct regulator_consumer_supply {
+ struct device *dev; /* consumer */
+ const char *supply; /* consumer supply - e.g. "vcc" */
+};
-int regulator_set_device_supply(const char *regulator, struct device *dev,

-and is shown with the following code :-
+static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator1_consumers[] = {

+ .dev = &platform_consumerB_device.dev,
+ .supply = "Vcc",
+},};
-regulator_set_device_supply("Regulator-1", devB, "Vcc");

+static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator2_consumers[] = {
+{
+ .dev = &platform_consumerA_device.dev,
+ .supply = "Vcc",
+},};
This maps Regulator-1 to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer B and maps Regulator-2
to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer A.

-2. Regulator supply configuration.
-==================================
-Consider the following machine (again) :-
-
- Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
- |
- +-> [Consumer B @ 3.3V]
+Constraints can now be registered by defining a struct regulator_init_data
+for each regulator power domain. This structure also maps the consumers
+to their supply regulator :-
+
+static struct regulator_init_data regulator1_data = {
+ .constraints = {
+ .min_uV = 3300000,
+ .max_uV = 3300000,
+ .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+ },
+ .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(regulator1_consumers),
+ .consumer_supplies = regulator1_consumers,
+};
Regulator-1 supplies power to Regulator-2. This relationship must be registered
with the core so that Regulator-1 is also enabled when Consumer A enables it's
-supply (Regulator-2).
-
-This relationship can be register with the core via :-
-
-int regulator_set_supply(const char *regulator, const char *regulator_supply);
-
-In this example we would use the following code :-
-
-regulator_set_supply("Regulator-2", "Regulator-1");
-
-Relationships can be queried by calling :-
-
-const char *regulator_get_supply(const char *regulator);
-
-
-3. Power Domain constraint setting.
-===================================
-Each power domain within a system has physical constraints on voltage and
-current. This must be defined in software so that the power domain is always
-operated within specifications.
-
-Consider the following machine (again) :-
-
- Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
- |
- +-> [Consumer B @ 3.3V]
-
-This gives us two regulators and two power domains:
-
- Domain 1: Regulator-2, Consumer B.
- Domain 2: Consumer A.
-
-Constraints can be registered by calling :-
-
-int regulator_set_platform_constraints(const char *regulator,
- struct regulation_constraints *constraints);
-
-The example is defined as follows :-
-
-struct regulation_constraints domain_1 = {
- .min_uV = 3300000,
- .max_uV = 3300000,
- .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+supply (Regulator-2). The supply regulator is set by the supply_regulator_dev
+field below:-
+
+static struct regulator_init_data regulator2_data = {
+ .supply_regulator_dev = &platform_regulator1_device.dev,
+ .constraints = {
+ .min_uV = 1800000,
+ .max_uV = 2000000,
+ .valid_ops_mask = REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE,
+ .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+ },
+ .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(regulator2_consumers),
+ .consumer_supplies = regulator2_consumers,
};
-struct regulation_constraints domain_2 = {
- .min_uV = 1800000,
- .max_uV = 2000000,
- .valid_ops_mask = REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE,
- .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+Finally the regulator devices must be registered in the usual manner.
+
+static struct platform_device regulator_devices[] = {
+{
+ .name = "regulator",
+ .id = DCDC_1,
+ .dev = {
+ .platform_data = &regulator1_data,

+{

+ .id = DCDC_2,
+ .dev = {
+ .platform_data = &regulator2_data,
