Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] add ccove PMIC i2c address for Microsoft Surface 3

Hi all,

Firstly, I'm still not used to Linux patch sending flow. Sorry in advance
if there is some weirdness :-) but I did my best.

I need to use the function intel_soc_pmic_exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element()
with atomisp Image Signal Processing driver on Microsoft Surface 3
(Cherry Trail).

However, it currently fails with the message I added to the commit
message below. I wondered why. The driver intel_pmic_chtcrc does define
the i2c address.

It later turned out that the intel_pmic_bytcrc driver is used on surface3
instead, where the i2c address is not defined. So, I added the address
with the patch I'm sending as RFC in this mail. It's working well.

The question is that, should Surface 3 (Cherry Trail) really use the
intel_pmic_bytcrc driver?

As I wrote in the commit message, the _HRV value of the PMIC is 0x02,
although the _DDN entry describes it as "CRYSTAL COVE+ AIC". So, maybe,
it should rather use intel_pmic_chtcrc? Does anyone know the other
instances where the _HRV value is 0x02 although it's based on Cherry
Trail SoC ?

So, I also tried using the intel_pmic_chtcrc driver instead, with the
following (temporary) change [drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c]:

+	hrv = 0x03;
+
	switch (hrv) {
	case BYT_CRC_HRV:
		config = &intel_soc_pmic_config_byt_crc;
		break;
	case CHT_CRC_HRV:
		config = &intel_soc_pmic_config_cht_crc;
		break;
	default:
		dev_warn(dev, "Unknown hardware rev %llu, assuming BYT\n", hrv);
		config = &intel_soc_pmic_config_byt_crc;
	}

and the function intel_soc_pmic_exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element() worked well
just like with the intel_pmic_bytcrc driver.

I don't mind which driver is used on surface3 for now, considering that
the atomisp driver is working with both PMIC drivers. But I'd like to
hear from maintainers which is better :)

Tested on surface3 with v5.15-rc5.

Regards,
Tsuchiya Yuto
