Series switch to MFD device for MediaTek audio subsystem | expand

Commit Message

The MediaTek audio hardware block that exposes functionalities that are
handled by separate subsystems in the kernel.  These functions are all
mapped somewhere at 0x112xxxxx, and there are some control bits are mixed
up with other functions within the same registers.

Therefore, it's better to switch the AUDSYS to MFD device for the sake of
avoiding adding individual nodes with the overlapping regions for those
devices.

This patch adds a top level node "simple-mfd" to represent whole subsystem,
which consists of two portions - audio componets and clock part.

I still don't think this change is necessary.

Just because a hardware block in DT maps to different subsystems in a
particular OS doesn't mean you need a DT node for each OS subsystem.
What we have subsystems for changes over time and DT shouldn't really
be changing based on that. And DT is not the only way to instantiate
drivers.

-MediaTek AUDSYS controller
+MediaTek Audio Subsystem
 ============================
+The audio subsystem is one of the multi-function blocks of MediaTek SoCs.
+It contains a system controller, which provides a number registers giving
+access to two features: AUDSYS clocks and Audio Front End (AFE) components.
 
+For the top level node:
+- compatible: must be: "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+- reg: register area of the Audio Subsystem
+
+Required sub-nodes:
+
+AUDSYS clocks:
+-------
 The MediaTek AUDSYS controller provides various clocks to the system.
 
 Required Properties:
 
 - compatible: Should be one of:
-	- "mediatek,mt7622-audsys", "syscon"
+	- "mediatek,mt2701-audsys";
+	- "mediatek,mt7622-audsys";
 - #clock-cells: Must be 1
 
 The AUDSYS controller uses the common clk binding from
 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
 The available clocks are defined in dt-bindings/clock/mt*-clk.h.
 
+AFE components:
+-------
+For common binding part and usage, refer to
+../sonud/mt2701-afe-pcm.txt.
+
 Example:
 
-audsys: audsys@11220000 {
-	compatible = "mediatek,mt7622-audsys", "syscon";
-	reg = <0 0x11220000 0 0x1000>;
-	#clock-cells = <1>;
-};
+	audio-subsystem@11220000 {
+		compatible = "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+		reg = <0 0x11220000 0 0x2000>;
+
+		audsys: clock {
+			compatible = "mediatek,mt2701-audsys";
+			#clock-cells = <1>;
+		};
+
+		...
+	};
