[PATCH v6 00/12] platform/chrome: Introduce DT hardware prober

Hi everyone,

This is v6 of my "of: Introduce hardware prober driver" [1] series.
v6 mainly addresses comments from Andy.

v2 continued Doug's "of: device: Support 2nd sources of probeable but
undiscoverable devices" [2] series, but follows the scheme suggested by
Rob, marking all second source component device nodes as "fail-needs-probe",
and having a hardware prober driver enable the one of them.

  - Add parenthesis around "enable" and "reset" GPIO names in comments
  - Split resource count debug message into two separate lines
  - Split out GPIO helper from i2c_of_probe_enable_res() to keep code
    cleaner following the previous patch
  - Adopted options for customizing power sequencing delay following
    previous patch
- Patch 11 "platform/chrome: Introduce device tree hardware prober"
  - Adapt to new i2c_of_probe_component() parameters

See v5 cover letter for previous change logs.

For the I2C component (touchscreens and trackpads) case from the
original series, the hardware prober driver finds the particular
class of device in the device tree, gets its parent I2C adapter,
and tries to initiate a simple I2C read for each device under that
I2C bus. When it finds one that responds, it considers that one
present, marks it as "okay", and returns, letting the driver core
actually probe the device.

This works fine in most cases since these components are connected
via a ribbon cable and always have the same resources. The prober
will also grab these resources and enable them.

The other case, selecting a display panel to use based on the SKU ID
from the firmware, hit a bit of an issue with fixing the OF graph.
It has been left out since v3.

Patch 1 adds of_changeset_update_prop_string(), as requested by Rob.

Patch 2 adds for_each_child_of_node_with_prefix_scoped(), as suggested
by Andy.

Patches 3 through 5 reorganize the OF-specific regulator core code and
reworks the existing of_regulator_bulk_get_all() function to look up
regulator supplies solely using device tree nodes.

Patch 6 adds a function to the GPIO library that checks whether a
given string (property name) matches the GPIO property pattern, and
if it does, returns the length of the GPIO name.

Patch 7 cleans up some extra spaces in the i2c core Makefile

Patch 8 implements probing the I2C bus for presence of components as
a helper function in the I2C core.

Patch 9 implements regulator supply support for the I2C component
prober.

Patch 10 implements GPIO support for the I2C component prober.

Patch 11 adds a ChromeOS specific DT hardware prober. This initial
version targets the Hana Chromebooks, probing its I2C trackpads and
touchscreens.

Patch 12 modifies the Hana device tree and marks the touchscreens
and trackpads as "fail-needs-probe", ready for the driver to probe.


The patch and build time dependencies for this series is now quite
complicated:

  of_regulator.c cleanups [1] -> regulator patches here ----
							   |
							   v
  gpio patch in -next [2] -> gpiolib patch here  -----> i2c of-prober --
								       |
                      platform/chrome device tree hardware prober <----- 
 
The regulator patches in this series depend on other cleanup patches [1]
I sent earlier. The gpiolib patch depends on a commit in -next [2]
changing the GPIO suffixes array. Patches 7 through 10 introducting i2c
of-prober depend on the first 5 patches. Patch 11, The chrome prober,
depends on patches 7 through 10.

I think it might be easier if the respective maintainers take the first
six patches for -rc1. Patches 7 through 11 can go through either the i2c
or chrome trees either very late in the merge window or right after it.
Patch 12 can go in only after everything else is in. This should be
better than having an immutable branch on top of some commit in -next
for three other trees to consume.

Wolfram, would you be able to handle the late PR? Assuming you get a
chance to look at the patches that is.


Thanks
ChenYu
