[PATCH v4 1/1] mfd: Add I2C based System Configuaration (SYSCON) access

[Michael Walle]

Hi Lee,

I'm just trying to use this for my sl28 driver. Some remarks, see below.

What do you think about

struct regmap *syscon_i2c_to_regmap(struct device *dev)
{
	struct i2c_client *client = i2c_verify_client(dev);

	if (!client)
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

	return syscon_i2c_get_regmap(client, &syscon_i2c_regmap_config);
}

Or even move it to syscon_i2c_get_regmap().

This way, (a) a driver doesn't have to use "#include <linux/i2c.h>" just
to call to_i2c_client() (or i2c_verify_client()) and (b) you won't do it
all over again in all sub drivers.

So you could just do a
   regmap = syscon_i2c_to_regmap(pdev->dev.parent);

I've also noticed that the mmio syscon uses device_node as parameter. 
What
was the reason to divert from that? Just curious.
