I have several comments to the series, but I may give them next week. Just couple here: 1. If subsystem provides a regmap API I would suggest to use it, I.o.w. try again to understand what is wrong with MDIO case.Are you referring to the MDIO regmap interface, or the GPIO regmap interface?
MDIO
For the MDIO regmap interface, I have been able to resolve the Kconfig dependency issue. So I can reintroduce that, if that's preferred over the solution in this v1. With an extra patch, I was able to use the gpio-regmap interface, dropping most of the GPIO code. The current gpio-regmap implementation makes the assumption that an output value can be set while a pin is configured as an input. That assumption is invalid for this chip, so I had to provide an extra flag for gpio_regmap_config, similar to how this is handled in gpio-mmio.quoted
2. Please, switch to fwnode API in LED driverSince you had the same comment on my previous patch set, I had already tried to this this into account as much as possible. There's a few things I couldn't find the fwnode-equivalent for: * I use of_node_name_prefix to enforce the naming required by the binding. I could just walk over all (available) child nodes, which would be mostly equivalent.
AFAIU the LED traditional bindings is that you define LED compatible nodes and all child nodes of it are the one-per-LED ones, there shouldn't be others.
* To get the address of an LED child node, I use of_get_address, since this appeared to provide what I want to do: get the address of the node. I know next to nothing about ACPI. Does the equivalent exist there? Or am I taking the wrong approach?
What are the means of an address in this case?
I have updated patches ready, if you would rather just review a v2.
