Subject: [RFC][PATCH v3 1/3] runtime interpreted power sequences
Some device drivers (panel backlights especially) need to follow precise
sequences for powering on and off, involving gpios, regulators, PWMs
with a precise powering order and delays to respect between each steps.
These sequences are board-specific, and do not belong to a particular
driver - therefore they have been performed by board-specific hook
functions to far.
With the advent of the device tree and of ARM kernels that are not
board-tied, we cannot rely on these board-specific hooks anymore but
need a way to implement these sequences in a portable manner. This patch
introduces a simple interpreter that can execute such power sequences
encoded either as platform data or within the device tree.

+Runtime Interpreted Power Sequences
+-----------------------------------
+
+Problem
+-------
+One very common board-dependent code is the out-of-driver code that is used to
+turn a device on or off. For instance, SoC boards very commonly use a GPIO
+(abstracted to a regulator or not) to control the power supply of a backlight,
+disabling it when the backlight is not used in order to save power. The GPIO
+that should be used, however, as well as the exact power sequence that may
+involve different resources, is board-dependent and thus unknown of the driver.
+
+This has been addressed so far by using hooks in the device's platform data that
+are called whenever the state of the device might reflect a power change. This
+approach, however, introduces board-dependant code into the kernel and is not
+compatible with the device tree.
+
+The Runtime Interpreted Power Sequences (or power sequences for short) aim at
+turning this code into platform data or device tree nodes. Power sequences are
+described using a simple format and run by a simple interpreter whenever needed.
+This allows to remove the callback mechanism and makes the kernel less
+board-dependant.
+
+Sequences Format
+----------------
+Power sequences are a series of sequential steps during which an action is
+performed on a resource. The supported resources so far are:
+- GPIOs
+- Regulators
+- PWMs
+
+Each step designates a resource and the following parameters:
+- Whether the step should enable or disable the resource,
+- Delay to wait before performing the action,
+- Delay to wait after performing the action.
+
+Both new resources and parameters can be introduced, but the goal is of course
+to keep things as simple and compact as possible.
+
+The platform data is a simple array of platform_power_seq_step instances, each
+instance describing a step. The type as well as one of id or gpio members
+(depending on the type) must be specified. The last step must be of type
+POWER_SEQ_STOP. Regulator and PWM resources are identified by name. GPIO are
+identified by number. For example, the following sequence will turn on the
+"power" regulator of the device, wait 10ms, and set GPIO number 110 to 1:
+
+struct platform_power_seq_step power_on_seq[] = {
+ {
+ .type = POWER_SEQ_REGULATOR,
+ .id = "power",
+ .params = {
+ .enable = 1,
+ .post_delay = 10,
+ },
+ },
+ {
+ .type = POWER_SEQ_GPIO,
+ .gpio = 110,
+ .params = {
+ .enable = 1,
+ },
+ },
+ {
+ .type = POWER_SEQ_STOP,
+ },
+};
+
+Usage by Drivers and Resources Management
+-----------------------------------------
+Power sequences make use of resources that must be properly allocated and
+managed. The power_seq_build() function takes care of resolving the resources as
+they are met in the sequence and to allocate them if needed:
+
+power_seq *power_seq_build(struct device *dev, power_seq_resources *ress,
+ platform_power_seq *pseq);
+
+You will need an instance of power_seq_resources to keep track of the resources
+that are already allocated. On success, the function returns a devm allocated
+resolved sequence that is ready to be passed to power_seq_run(). In case of
+failure, and error code is returned.
+
+A resolved power sequence returned by power_seq_build can be run by
+power_run_run():
+
+int power_seq_run(struct device *dev, power_seq *seq);
+
+It returns 0 if the sequence has successfully been run, or an error code if a
+problem occured.
+
+Finally, some resources that cannot be allocated through devm need to be freed
+manually. Therefore, be sure to call power_seq_free_resources() in your device
+remove function:
+
+void power_seq_free_resources(power_seq_resources *ress);
+
+Device tree
+-----------
+All the same, power sequences can be encoded as device tree nodes. The following
+properties and nodes are equivalent to the platform data defined previously:
+
+ power-supply = <&mydevice_reg>;
+ enable-gpio = <&gpio 6 0>;
+
+ power-on-sequence {
+ regulator@0 {
+ id = "power";
+ enable;
+ post-delay = <10>;
+ };
+ gpio@1 {
+ id = "enable-gpio";
+ enable;
+ };
+ };
+
+Note that first, the phandles of the regulator and gpio used in the sequences
+are defined as properties. Then the sequence references them through the id
+property of every step. The name of sub-properties defines the type of the step.
+Valid names are "regulator", "gpio" and "pwm". Steps must be numbered
+sequentially.
