Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] dm: i2c: add DM_I2C_REQ_ALIAS to make sequence number optional

Hi Masahiro,

For I2C (and some other uclasses), all the devices are required to have their own request sequence numbers to use them. Otherwise, uclass_get_device_by_seq() fails to get them. To specify those numbers, we have to add aliases to device trees. As a result, the "aliases" nodes grow bigger and bigger as we support more and more drivers in driver model. (See arch/arm/dts/uniphier-ph1-pro4-ref.dts for example.)

It is true that the sequence number is useful for identifying a device with the same number independently of the binding order, but it is painful to add an alias to every device.

That tends to me the standard. If you look at the .dts files in the kernel they have aliases. I didn't see any Uniphier dts files in there though.

This commit intends to make this feature optional. If CONFIG_DM_I2C_SEQ_ALIAS is not defined, uclass_get_device() is called instead of uclass_get_device_by_seq(). So we do not have to add aliases of I2C devices.

In most cases, this should work well enough because device trees are scanned from top to bottom and we usually describe device nodes in the order we expect for binding.

As of recently the sequence numbers should be assigned sensibly (0, 1, 2...) even without aliases. What do you see when you type 'dm uclass' on your board?

I would prefer a solution that sits inside driver model itself. Once I have a response to the above question we can see if this is possible.
