From: Young-Gun Jang <redacted> Add support for mapping Samsung Power Management Unit (PMU) base address from device tree. This patch also adds helper function as "get_exynos_pmuregmap". This function can be used by other machine files such as "pm.c", "hotplug.c" for accessing PMU regmap handle.I don't think there is a need to use regmap to provide access to PMU to
such low
level code such as pm.c or hotplug.c. Moreover, I believe that it might be
undesirable
in some cases, e.g. very low level code running at early resume or late
suspend.
IMHO, based on what we now have for SYSRAM, you could simply map PMU from device tree one time, before SMP init, and keep the address in some
globally
accessible variable, like those for SYSRAM we have right now
(sysram_base_addr,
sysram_ns_base_addr -> pmu_base_addr).
Thanks for review. Well I adopted same approach in V1 of this patch series. V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/48 So, if we do not have issues with that approach, I think we can map PMU address one time and use it for all machine files including pmu.c. Also I can see that early_syscon patch [1] is not progressing anymore, so in next version of this series better I remove dependency of early syscon and usage of regmap. 1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/239 Tomasz, It will be good if you can review remaining patches under this series, specially patch [2]. So that, I can update this series after addressing all comments. 2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/10/26
Then, registration of the normal syscon would happen through standard
platform
driver mechanisms and no special early handling would be necessary. Best regards, Tomasz
