Jonathan Neuschäfer Nov. 22, 2020, 10:27 p.m. UTC
The Netronix embedded controller is a microcontroller found in some
e-book readers designed by the original design manufacturer Netronix,
Inc. It contains RTC, battery monitoring, system power management, and
PWM functionality.

This driver implements register access and version detection.

Third-party hardware documentation is available at:

  https://github.com/neuschaefer/linux/wiki/Netronix-MSP430-embedded-controller

The EC supports interrupts, but the driver doesn't make use of them so
far.

v4:
- include asm/unaligned.h after linux/*
- Use put_unaligned_be16 instead of open-coded big-endian packing
- Clarify that 0x90=0xff00 causes an error in downstream kernel too
- Add commas after non-sentinel positions
- ntxec.h: declare structs device and regmap
- Replace WARN_ON usage and add comments to explain errors
- Replace dev_alert with dev_warn when the result isn't handled
- Change subdevice registration error message to dev_err
- Declare ntxec_reg8 as returning __be16
- Restructure version detection code
- Spell out ODM

v3:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924192455.2484005-4-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/
- Add (EC) to CONFIG_MFD_NTXEC prompt
- Relicense as GPLv2 or later
- Add email address to copyright line
- remove empty lines in ntxec_poweroff and ntxec_restart functions
- Split long lines
- Remove 'Install ... handler' comments
- Make naming of struct i2c_client parameter consistent
- Remove struct ntxec_info
- Rework 'depends on' lines in Kconfig, hard-depend on I2C, select REGMAP_I2C and
  MFD_CORE
- Register subdevices via mfd_cells
- Move 8-bit register conversion to ntxec.h

v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200905133230.1014581-4-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/
- Add a description of the device to the patch text
- Unify spelling as 'Netronix embedded controller'.
  'Netronix' is the proper name of the manufacturer, but 'embedded controller'
  is just a label that I have assigned to the device.
- Switch to regmap, avoid regmap use in poweroff and reboot handlers.
  Inspired by cf84dc0bb40f4 ("mfd: rn5t618: Make restart handler atomic safe")
- Use a list of known-working firmware versions instead of checking for a
  known-incompatible version
- Prefix registers with NTXEC_REG_
- Define register values as constants
- Various style cleanups as suggested by Lee Jones
- Don't align = signs in struct initializers [Uwe Kleine-König]
- Don't use dev_dbg for an error message
- Explain sleep in poweroff handler
- Remove (struct ntxec).client
- Switch to .probe_new in i2c driver
- Add .remove callback
- Make CONFIG_MFD_NTXEC a tristate option

No magic numbers.

Sorry, that should have been:

For my own reference (apply this as-is to your sign-off block):

Will do.

But I don't think I'll be able to give it a more meaningful name than
NTXEC_VERSION_D726. I don't have a good overview of which versions
appear in which devices. "0xd726 found in Kobo Aura" only means that;
I don't know if it's the only version used in the Kobo Aura, and I don't
know if the Kobo Aura is the only device where it is used.


Thanks,
Jonathan Neuschäfer

Defines are not set in stone.

They can evolve over time as more is known.

NTXEC_KOBO_AURA would be fine for now.

Alright.
