Subject: regmap: how to support devices with 'nested' pages
Hi Mark,
I got a device which registers are arranged in 'books' and pages:
book0
page0
page1
...
page127
book1
page0
page1
...
page127
...
book255
page0
page1
...
page127
The pages can be selected via register0 of each page (in a standard way),
however the book switching can only be done via each book's page0's reg127.
With regmap's ranges I can get the pages covered, but with that I can only
stay within one book.
At power on the chip is at book0, page0.
If I want to access book0, page2:
write 2 to reg0 // to switch to page2
access to the desired register in book0, page2
Now if I want to access let's say book3, page4:
write 0 to reg0 // to switch to page0 of book0
write 3 to reg127 // to switch to book3
write 4 to reg0 // to switch to page4 of book3
access to the desired register
Do you know any other device which have similar addressing? Do you have advice
on how to handle this? Should I open code the book switching in the driver,
which means that I should not use the cache at all in regmap.
Thank you,
Péter
