PATCH v4 1/4 regulator: Add set_voltage_time op

The new op is analogous to set_voltage_time_sel. It can be used by regulators that don't have a table of discrete voltages. The function returns the time for the regulator voltage output voltage to stabilize after being set to a new value, in microseconds. The actual calculation of the stabilization time is done in the same place for both types of regulators.

This is getting very messy. Having the handling of the ramp delay DT properties in the operation that the driver in theory implements is making things harder than they should be (and we seem to have some broken drivers that don't do one or both of the ramp delays). I'm not sure this series is the place to fully fix that but it'd be good to start that refactoring by not requiring the op be set and instead just doing this implementation by default.

It will certainly make the diff clearer, for the resulting code my preference would be to avoid the negative condition on ops->set_voltage_time_sel to enter the default case, but that's a minor question.

No, what I mean is this change is doing a bunch of moving code around as well as adding new things which makes it hard to spot where the new things are. Moving the code around separately (that is, in a separate patch) would make the review easier.

I mean I couldn't tell why a goto was a good idea for what seemed like perfectly normal conditional logic. Either I couldn't tell because it's not a good idea or it is a good idea but should be clearer in some way but since I didn't really understand what the purpose of doing the gotos was I can't say for sure either way.

I suspect you'll end up with more refactoring than that around _set_voltage_time() and this'll be inside that function but I've lost context here so ICBW.

Moving the code around is related with the gotos, which are related with the new set_voltage_sel. If we can agree that using goto is the right thing to do (please see my rationale below) I could create a separate patch introducing it. However this will only somewhat mitigate the code moving around, since we still need separate paths for set_voltage_time and set_voltage_time_sel.

Not sure how to interpret your question. Would you prefer no to use gotos, should the notification be skipped in case the voltage is not changed, do you expect a comment, ...?

Quoted 5 lines

I mean I couldn't tell why a goto was a good idea for what seemed like perfectly normal conditional logic. Either I couldn't tell because it's not a good idea or it is a good idea but should be clearer in some way but since I didn't really understand what the purpose of doing the gotos was I can't say for sure either way.

The main purpose is to avoid deeply nested code branches.

Without gotos I think we'd end up with something like this:

static int _regulator_do_set_voltage(struct regulator_dev *rdev,
int min_uV, int max_uV)

{
	...
	if (ret == 0 && !rdev->constraints->ramp_disable) {
		if (rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time_sel) {
			if (old_selector >= 0 && old_selector != selector)
				  rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time_sel(rdev, old_selector, selector);
		} else {
		       if (old_uV != new_uV) {
				if (rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time)
					delay = rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time(rdev, old_uV, new_uV);
				else
					delay = _regulator_set_voltage_time(rdev, old_uV, new_uV);
		       }
		}

		// delay
	}
}

I can change the patch accordingly if this is preferred.

The diff and I expect the resulting code would be a lot clearer if we just left most of the function indented as it is and simply directly returned set_voltage_time(). Which is what we do anyway so no need to reindent the rest of the code.

Ok, with your comment below on a default implementation this would become something like:

if (ops->set_voltage_time) {
	return ops->set_voltage_time(...);
} else if (!ops->set_voltage_time_sel) {
	return _regulator_set_voltage_time(..);
}

I suspect you'll end up with more refactoring than that around _set_voltage_time() and this'll be inside that function but I've lost context here so ICBW.

Why were the gotos there?

The above improves a bit when a local ops variable is used instead of rdev->desc->ops. With that it looks bearable and probably better than the goto version.
