Slowly (sorry for that..) I am checking again all PMIC related patches you sent last month. However, these patches do not fit very well in the current development.
In the last U-Boot mini summit we get the decision to post new PMIC drivers according to the Device Model rules. Przemyslaw is the new custodian for PMICs, and he will take care of all related issues regarding power management.
Can you share me more information about the new PMIC drivers development that Stefano mentioned above.
- Have you completed the APIs define for new PMIC drivers? If yes, where I can get them.
- When will the new PMIC drivers deliver?
- Will the PMIC devices already supported in current release stay supported by new PMIC drivers?
The work on new PMIC framework was temporary on hold. Now I'm working on it, but the basic functionality is actually done. The first version you can check here: https://github.com/bobenstein/u-boot.git I need to make some rework, since the i2c is going to support the driver model.
I can now focus on this work. And this will be merged through u-boot-dm - since i2c support is added.
The plan is simple:
- Add new drivers to the present PMIC framework - before merge the new one.
- Add new PMIC framework as a separated piece of code.
- Migrate old drivers and boards to the new framework.
- Remove the old framework without any conflicts.
So it's not a problem if you want add this driver, we add this to the current framework - the migration should be simple and will not cause conflicts.
If you are interested in the new PMIC framework design, please read the doc file added by the patches from the link above.
You can implement just one class(UCLASS_PMIC), and if you need user friendly interface it is welcome to implement also UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR.
Please follow the list, maybe I will send the patches at the end of this week.

Best regards,
My patches don't add any new PMIC driver. The PFUZE100 driver already exists in present u-boot. We just call the driver to apply new settings for PFUZE100. According to your plan, can you help to figure out which phase the PMIC development is at now? I feel my patches won't conflict with your job before phase 3. If there is no conflict, I will continue the upstream.
Best regards, Ye Li

Ok, so the code from github link(also can be found on the list), adds API for two PMIC uclasses: PMIC and REGULATOR - both are implemented by MAX77686 driver and enabled for Trats2 and Odroid boards. It was RFC patchset, but is fully functional. It's hard to say when exactly I can send next version - it's not the only task. There are no conflicts, so please continue your work.
Best Regards,
