+1. Introduction +=============== +This is an introduction to driver-model multi uclass PMIC devices support. +At present it is based on two uclass types:
+- UCLASS_PMIC - basic uclass type for PMIC I/O, which provides common read/write
interface.+- UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR - additional uclass type for specific PMIC features,
which are various voltage regulators.+New files: +UCLASS_PMIC: +- drivers/power/pmic-uclass.c +- include/power/pmic.h +UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR: +- drivers/power/regulator-uclass.c +- include/power/regulator.h
+Commands: +- drivers/power/cmd_pmic.c (pmic; regulator)
+2. How doees it work +==================== +The Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC) are used in embedded systems +to provide stable, precise and specific voltage power source with over-voltage +and thermal protection circuits.
+The single PMIC can provide various functionalities with single or multiple +interfaces, like in the example below.

+Since U-Boot provides driver model features for I2C and SPI bus drivers, +the PMIC devices should also support this. With the new basic uclass types +for PMIC I/O and regulator features, PMIC drivers can simply provide common +features, with multiple interface and instance support.
+Basic design assumptions:
+- Common I/O api - UCLASS_PMIC +The main assumption is to use UCLASS_PMIC device to provide I/O interface, +for devices other uclass types. It is no matter what is the type of device +physical I/O interface. Usually PMIC devices are using SPI or I2C interface, +but use of any other interface (e.g. when PMIC is not directly connected +to the SoC) - is now possible. Drivers can use the same read/write api.
+- Common regulator api - UCLASS_REGULATOR +For setting the attributes of verious types of regulators with common api, +this uclass can be implemented. This allows to drive the each regulator output +value, on/off state and custom defined operation modes. It also provides the +user interface for all operations. +For the very simple implementation, the regulator drivers are not required, +so the code could base on pmic read/write only.
+When board device-tree file includes pmic subnode and the U_Boot compatible +driver exists, then the pmic device bind should looks like this:
+|_ root - will bind the device for I2C/SPI bus node
- |_ i2c/spi - should bind a device for pmic node
- |_ pmic (parent) - should bind child devices for its features
|_ regulator (child)|_ charger (child)|_ other (child)+Usually PMIC design provides:
- single I/O interface (single UCLASS_PMIC driver)
- Then UCLASS_PMIC device should be a parent of all pmic devices, where each
- is usually different uclass type, but need to access the same interface
- multiple I/O interfaces (UCLASS_PMIC driver for each)
- For each interface the UCLASS_PMIC device should be a parent of only those
- devices (different uclass types), which needs to access the specified
- interface.
+3. Pmic driver api +=================== +To use the pmic API, config: CONFIG_DM_PMIC is required. +The new driver API is very simple and is based on 'struct dm_pmic_ops', +which define two basic operations: device read and write.
+The platform data is introduced as 'struct pmic_platdata', to keep an info +about the device interface.
+The api is described in file: 'include/power/pmic.h'
+3.1 Getting the device: +- By name only - usefull if the name is unique, or only one pmic device exists:
- int pmic_get(char *name, struct udevice **pmic);
+- By I2C or SPI bus number and chip address - when few pmic devices exists:
- int pmic_i2c_get(int bus, int addr, struct udevice **pmic)
- int pmic_spi_get(int bus, int cs, struct udevice **pmic);
+- To get the given PMIC/REGULATOR I/O dev by pmic platdata:
- int pmic_io_dev(struct udevice *pmic, struct udevice **pmic_io);
+3.2 Pmic platdata function calls - useful for pmic/regulator commands: +- Get the device interface type:
- int pmic_if_type(struct udevice *pmic);
+- Get the device interface bus number:
- int pmic_if_bus_num(struct udevice *pmic);
+- Get the device addres(I2C) or cs(SPI) on bus:
- int pmic_if_addr_cs(struct udevice *pmic);
+- Get the device max internal address offset:
- int pmic_if_max_offset(struct udevice *pmic);
+- Get the device interface name string:
- const char *pmic_if_str(struct udevice *pmic);
+3.3. Device I/O interface +Can be used with UCLASS_PMIC devices: +- Read the device 'reg':
- int pmic_read(struct udevice *pmic, unsigned reg, unsigned char *val);
+- Write to the device 'reg':
- int pmic_write(struct udevice *pmic, unsigned reg, unsigned char val);
+4. Pmic driver +============================ +As an example of the pmic driver, please take a look into the MAX77686 driver +'drivers/power/pmic/max77686.c' and the description in 'include/power/pmic.h'
+The pmic driver can be defined by U_BOOT_DRIVER() macro:
+U_BOOT_DRIVER(pmic_max77686) = {
.name = "max77686 pmic",.id = UCLASS_PMIC,.of_match = max77686_ids, - Allows to bind by compatible.bind = max77686_bind, - Function called at device bind.ops = &max77686_ops, - Pmic api function calls.platdata_auto_alloc_size = sizeof(struct pmic_platdata),+};
+To bind the pmic device, field '.of_match' is required with proper compatible. +To make the device useful with the pmic command, the driver must define +the size of platform data allocation size.
+Driver ops: +.read = max77686_read() - allows to use pmic_read() +.write = max77686_write() - allows to use pmic_write()
+Driver bind: +- max77686_bind(): is called on device bind and:
- fills the platform data structure
- bind MAX77686 regulator child device
+Note: +For the simply case, when regulator driver doesn't exists, the driver bind +method should only fill the platform data structure.
+5. Pmic command +=============== +To use the pmic command, config: CONFIG_DM_PMIC_CMD is required. +The new pmic command allows to: +- list pmic devices +- choose the current device (like the mmc command) +- read or write the pmic register +- dump all pmic registers
+The pmic platform data is mandatory to use this command with devices. +This command can use only UCLASS_PMIC devices, since this uclass is designed +for pmic I/O operations only.
+Command options (pmic [option]): +- list - list available PMICs +- dev <id> - set id to current pmic device +- pmic dump - dump registers +- pmic read <reg> - read register +- pmic write <reg> <value> - write register
+Example of usage: +# pmic list - chose one dev Id, e.g. 3 +# pmic dev 0 - set dev 0 as current device +# pmic dump - dump the registers of the current pmic dev +# pmic read 0x0 - read the register at address 0x0 +# pmic write 0x0 0x1 - write 0x1 to the register at addres 0x0
+6. Regulator driver API +=================================== +To use the regulator API, config: CONFIG_DM_REGULATOR is required. +The same as for the pmic devices, regulator drivers should alloc platform data. +It's the same type as for uclass pmic drivers: 'struct pmic_platdata', and can +be shared with the parent pmic device.
+The api is described in file: 'include/power/regulator.h'
+6.1 Getting the device: +- By name - usefull for unique names, or if only one regulator device exists:
- int regulator_get(char *name, struct udevice **regulator);
+- By I2C or SPI bus number and chip address of pmic parent - when few regulator
- devices exists:
- int regulator_i2c_get(int bus, int addr, struct udevice **regulator);
- int regulator_spi_get(int bus, int cs, struct udevice **regulator);
+6.2 Pmic platdata function calls - useful for pmic/regulator commands +It's the same as for Point 3.2.
+6.3 Device I/O interface +According to the framework assumptions, where uclass pmic device is a parent +of pmic devices other uclass types, the regulator devices should use uclass +pmic interface, with the parent as the device, like this: +- pmic_read(regulator->parent, some_reg, some_val); +- pmic_write(regulator->parent, some_reg, &some_val);
+6.4 Device regulator operations +The regulator function calls are based on few data types: +- enum regulator_type {...} - standard types: LDO, BUCK and DVS +- enum regulator_out_state {...} - ON/OFF states +- struct regulator_value_desc {...} - output name and value limits +- struct regulator_mode_desc {...} - output operation mode value and name +- struct dm_regulator_ops {...} - regulator driver function calls
+The first argument is always device. And the device uclass id must be always: +- 'UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR'
+Function details are described in regulator header. The basic features are: +- Get the number of the given regulator type outputs
- int regulator_get_cnt(struct udevice *dev, int type, int *cnt);
+- Get the given output value descriptor
- int regulator_get_value_desc(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number,
struct regulator_value_desc **desc);+- Get the given output mode descriptor array (usually more then one mode)
- int regulator_get_mode_desc(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number,
int *mode_cnt, struct regulator_mode_desc **desc);+- Get or set the given output voltage value (micro Volts unit)
- int regulator_get_value(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int *val);
- int regulator_set_value(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int val);
+- Get or set the given output on/off state
- int regulator_get_state(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int *state);
- int regulator_set_state(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int state);
+- Get or set the given output operation mode (mode defined by the driver)
- int regulator_get_mode(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int *mode);
- int regulator_set_mode(struct udevice *dev, int type, int number, int mode);
+7. Design limitations: +The child devices of the single parent device (pmic, interface), should not +provide it's features by more then one device each uclass types. +It's because, e.g. regulator_i2c_get() function will: +- look for the pmic device at address given by args, +- return it's first child device, which uclass type is 'UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR' +So, if more then one pmic child device exists, each the same uclass type, then +the regulator_i2c_get(), will return only first device. But usually there is no +need to implement the same functionality with more than one instance of each +uclass type device.
+8. Regulator driver +====================================== +As an example of the regulator driver, please take a look into the MAX77686 +regulator driver (drivers/power/regulator/max77686.c). The driver structure:
+U_BOOT_DRIVER(max77686_regulator) = {
.name = "max77686 regulator",.id = UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR,.ops = ®_max77686_ops,.ofdata_to_platdata = reg_max77686_ofdata_to_platdata,.priv_auto_alloc_size = sizeof(struct max77686_regulator_info),+};
+This driver structure is different than for the pmic driver.
+It doesn't provide: +.of_match +.platdata_auto_alloc_size
+Both are not required in this case, because .of_match is known at the bind call, +and the platdata pointer is the same as for the parent device (pmic).
+But instead of the pmic driver, this driver provides: +.of_data_to_platdata
+And this call above is responsible for fill the regulator outputs descriptors, +which are described in device-tree, e.g. 'arch/arm/dts/exynos4412-odroid.dts'
+The bind for this driver is called in pmic/max77686.c driver bind. +After the pmic driver successful bind, there are two max77686 devices: +- max77686 pmic (parent) - UCLASS_PMIC
- '- max77686 regulator (child) - UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR
+For the I/O, this driver uses pmic_read/write calls, with the parent device +as the first argument, e.g.: pmic_read(dev->parent, adr, &val);
+9. Regulator command +==================== +To use the pmic command, config: CONFIG_DM_REGULATOR_CMD is required.
+The extension for the 'pmic' command is 'regulator' command. +This actually uses the same code, but provides the interface +to pmic optional 'UCLASS_PMIC_REGULATOR' operations.
+If pmic device driver provides support to this another pmic +uclass, then this command provides useful user interface.
+This was designed to allow safe I/O access to the pmic device, +without the pmic documentation. If driver provide each regulator +output - value and mode descriptor - then user can operate on it.
+Usage: +regulator list - list UCLASS regulator devices +regulator dev [id] - show or set operating regulator device +regulator dump - dump registers of current regulator +regulator [ldo/buck/dvs][N] [name/state/desc] - print regulator(s) info +regulator [ldoN/buckN/dvsN] [setval/setmode] [mV/modeN] [-f] - set val (mV)
+The -f option (forcibly) or mode - only if descriptor is available
+Example of usage: +regulator list - look after regulator 'Id' number +regulator dev 'Id' - set current device +regulator ldo state - list state of current device all ldo's +regulator ldo desc - list ldo's descriptors +regulator ldo1 setval 1000 - set device ldo 1 voltage to 1000mV +regulator ldo1 setval 1200 -f - if value exceeds limits - set force +regulator ldo1 setmode 5 - set device ldo 1 mode to '5'
+The same for 'buck' regulators.
+Note: +The regulator descriptor, 'min' and 'max' limits prevents setting +unsafe value. But sometimes it is useful to change the regulator +value for some test - so the force option (-f) is available. +This option is not available for change the mode, since this depends +on a pmic device design, but the required voltage value can change,
+e.g. if some hardware uses pins header.
1.9.1
This is a good and thorough overview. Can we drop the 'dm-' prefix on the filename and word-wrap it a bit more consistently towards the end (lots of short lines at present). Some of the phrasing is a bit hard to parse, but we can figure out that later.
