v2 cover staging: iio: light: use regmap in isl29018 for register access

This is patch series for using regmap framework for accessing device register. THe first patch is for using tab for ndenting and second patch is for using regmap apis for register accesses.

PATCH v3 2/2 staging: iio: light: isl29018: use regmap for register access

In reply to Laxman Dewangan

Using regmap for accessing register through i2c bus. This will remove the code for caching registers, read-modify-write logics. Also it will provide the debugfs feature to dump register through regmap debugfs.

Laxman,
Thanks for reposting this patch. I was talking with Bryan Freed and it looks like the caching of registers will change the usage of ADD_COMMAND1. More details below.

The old code will do a single I2C write. The new code will do a read+write for ADD_COMMAND1 register. I reviewed the behaviors in drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c and regcache.c.

I can't judge if this is a "real" problem. Given the limited BW on I2C, someone with more I2C experience should carefully consider and share their opinion.

Old code for DATA_LSB and DATA_MSB ignored the "write cache" for reads
- so marking these as volatile looks correct to me.

My concern is only about the additional I2C read traffic this patch might generate. It's possible *some* bits in that register are volatile and we could previously ignore them.

Register ADD_COMMAND1, bit 2 is interrupt flag bit which shows the interrupt status and hence we can not cache it. The ISL29018 datasheet says:
Interrupt flag; Bit 2. This is the status bit of the interrupt.
The bit is set to logic high when the interrupt thresholds
have been triggered, and logic low when not yet triggered.
Once triggered, INT pin stays low and the status bit stays
high. Both interrupt pin and the status bit are automatically
cleared at the end of Command Register I transfer.

If the bit is cleared when reading the register I suppose it is not being worth much to mark the register as volatile since the bit will be cleared whenever you update the register. If there is only opmode and the irq bit in that register I'd keep the register volatile, but use regmap_write instead of regmap_update_bits.

If there is only opmode and the irq bit in that register I'd keep the register volatile, but use regmap_write instead of regmap_update_bits.

There is 2-bits in ADD_COMMAND1 for interrupt persistence.
The interrupt pin and the interrupt flag is triggered/set when the data sensor reading is out of the interrupt threshold window after m consecutive number of integration cycles.

The driver is not supporting interrupt now. I think we can use regmap_write() in place of regmap_update_bits() keeping this volatile as you suggested. When we add interrupt support on this driver, we will write the register after ORing with persistence bits. For that also it will not require to do caching of register.
