PROBLEM #2 The tuner (si2157) is not on the i2c5 bus, instead it is on a private i2c bus *behind* si2168, which routes requests to the proper client. For the time being, I don't know how to model this relationship in DT. (TODO: check i2c_slave_cb_t slave_cb in struct i2c_client) I have initialized si2157 in the si2168 driver, but this doesn't feel right. (Though it seems all(?) users pair 2168 with 2157.)diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8098-batfish.dts b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8098-batfish.dts index 29d59ecad138..9353e62375a7 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8098-batfish.dts +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8098-batfish.dts@@ -30,6 +30,28 @@ status = "ok"; }; +&blsp1_i2c5 { + status = "ok"; + clock-frequency = <100000>; + pinctrl-names = "default"; + pinctrl-0 = <&i2c5_default>; + + dvb_demod: si2168@64 { + compatible = "silabs,si2168"; + reg = <0x64>; + reset-gpios = <&tlmm 84 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;In principle, I think you should be able to add something like this here: i2c-gate { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; tuner@60 { compatible = "silabs,si2157"; reg = <0x60>; /* whatever else is needed */ }; }; But in practice, I don't know if the si2157 driver understands that or if there is anything else that gets in the way. Totally untested... The i2c-gate child node is examined when you call i2c_mux_add_adapter if you have provided the correct struct device in the second argument when you called i2c_mux_alloc (I think that is already the case). You also need to set the I2C_MUX_GATE flag in the i2c_mux_alloc call, but I do not see a problem with that since I think only one child adapter is added. If it is a problem to add the I2C_MUX_GATE flag, then you can just adjust the above i2c-gate node according to the bindings in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c-mux.txt. I.e. add this instead of the above i2c-gate node: i2c-mux { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; i2c@0 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; reg = <0>; tuner@60 { compatible = "silabs,si2157"; reg = <0x60>; /* whatever else is needed */ }; }; }; But it feels *right* to add the I2C_MUX_GATE flag, because a gate is what you have. I think?
Thanks, Peter! Your solution works great. It's refreshing to have stuff work out-of-the-box! Problem #2 is now taken care of. And Brad proposed an elegant solution (IMO) for Problem #1. I'll send an updated RFC v2 tomorrow. (My patch series is a complete mess right now.)
