Subject: Re: [RFC 1/2] pwrseq: Add subsystem to handle complex power sequences

Hi,

Overall I like the idea, I've some comments on the implementation inline.

I2C is not discoverable, I do agree that this could be useful for spi and
i2c too, so you may want to reword things so that it does not look like
you're suggesting that i2c is discoverable.

Why not have the method have a create or init function rather then a
bind function, passing in struct device_node *np to this function,
and let it have a struct containing what ever info it needs like this:

struct pwrseq_method_foo {
	struct pwrseq ps;
	/* more members */
};

And then have it alloc that struct and end with:

	return &pwrseq_method_foo->ps;

That way we only have one alloc rather then 2, and if we ever need to add
refcounting only one struct to refcount.


Also I'm not sold on how you're making this a devm only thing, and
are using devres_alloc to not only allocate memory for resource tracking,
but also the actual backing struct, that is not how devres_alloc is
intended to be used AFAIK.

A problem with having this one always devm managed is that it makes it
hard to use in library functions without side effects.

e.g. if you look at how your using this in mmc_of_parse in the next
patch, this gives mmc_of_parse the side-effect of having allocated
and bound the power-seq method, even if mmc_of_parse later
fails on e.g. gpio binding. If then for some reason the mmc host
probe method decides to not propagate the mmc_of_parse method
error (leading to freeing of all devm managed resources), then this is
undesirable.

Where as with a non devm version, it would be clear that on error
mmc_of_parse would need to explicitly release the pwrseq again.

I realize that pwrseq implementations likely will want to use
devm functions too, and I'm a great fan of devm. But this is something
to keep in mind. At a minimum the description of of_mmc_parse needs
to get updated with info about it having potential side-effects even
when it fails, and that failure should always be treated as a fatal
error and cause the host probe method to fail.

Regards,

Hans
