Rasmus Villemoes June 12, 2023, 11:30 a.m. UTC
The current handling of the low-battery bits in the status register is
wrong. The first six patches fix that and implement proper support for
RTC_VL_READ.

The last two patches allow describing the isl12022 as a clock
provider, for now just as a fixed 32kHz clock. They are also
tangentially related to the backup battery, in that when the isl12022
is not used as a clock source, one can save some power consumption in
battery mode by setting the FOx bits to 0.

So testing this a bit more thoroughly reveals that the LBAT85/LBAT75
bits do not get updated immediately after the TSE bit is set; one needs
to wait a little before the battery voltage detection is done and the SR
bits updated. Unfortunately, the data sheet doesn't say anything about
how long that might be or if there's some busy bit one could look at;
all it says is actually exactly what I've done above:

  The battery level monitor is not functional in battery backup
  mode. In order to read the monitor bits after powering up VDD,
  instigate a battery level measurement by setting the TSE bit to
  "1" (BETA register), and then read the bits.

IOW, please don't apply this patch until I figure out how to do this
properly.

I'm against using RTC_VL_CLR for this as it deletes important
information (i.e. the date is probably invalid). You should let the RTC
clear the bits once the battery has been changed:

"The LBAT75 bit is set when the
VBAT has dropped below the pre-selected trip level, and will self
clear when the VBAT is above the pre-selected trip level at the
next detection cycle either by manual or automatic trigger."

This is too verbose, there is no action for the user upon getting this
message.


Setting TSE also enables temperature compensation, which may be an
undesirable side effect. Shouldn't this be reverted if necessary?

The datasheet states 22ms for the temperature conversion so I would
expect it takes about that time.

Does preincrement give us anything in comparison to postincrement?

Wondering if the bit 31 is in use with this register (note, I haven't checked

register width is in the driver:

static const struct regmap_config regmap_config = {
	.reg_bits = 8,
	.val_bits = 8,
	.use_single_write = true,
};

Well, the same thing means that the bit would get set again within a
minute after the RTC_VL_CLR, so the information isn't lost as such. I
actually don't understand what RTC_VL_CLR would be for if not this
(though, again, in this case at least it would only have a very
short-lived effect), but I'm perfectly happy to just rip out the
RTC_VL_CLR case.

OK.

Well, I can't imagine the board designer not wanting/expecting
temperature compensation to be enabled since they've spent the $$ on
using a part with that capability. Also, we anyway set TSE if
CONFIG_HWMON so that the TEMP registers get updated once per minute.

If you insist I'll do the proper logic to set it back to 0 if it wasn't
set beforehand, but I prefer to just keep it as-is.

I only added this as "compensation" for ripping out the warning in 1/8,
since I assumed somebody actually wanted at least one warning in the
kernel log if the battery is low.

I/we are not going to scrape dmesg but will use the ioctl() to monitor
the battery, so I'm perfectly happy to just remove this. That will also
make the question of how long to wait after setting TSE moot, since
certainly userspace won't be able to issue the ioctl() soon enough to
see stale values in the LBAT bits.

It's most likely much shorter than that - if I just busy-read SR until
the LBAT bits are clear, that takes no more than 2ms, and the final read
of SR still has the BUSY bit set, indicating a temp conversion being
(still) in progress. But I'd prefer to have Renesas provide the proper
value rather than using some seems-to-work-on-my-desk. But but, it's
probably moot, see other reply.

Yeah.

But I only factored that out because I wanted to read the SR also in the
isl12022_set_trip_levels() to emit the warning at boot time, but when
that goes away, there's no longer any reason to not just fold this back
into the ioctl() handler.
