Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] Add Parity bit Calculation to regmaps

From: Christopher Tyerman <c.tyerman@...ebladeautomationsystems.co.uk>

this patch set adds parity bit calculation to regmaps

this allow support for devices that require parity bits in their
communications.

e.g. the texas instruments TPS92518-Q1 which requires a parity bit in the
7th bit of a 16 bit spi frame 
or the TPS92518-Q1 which requires a parity bit in the 1st bit of a 16 bit 
spi frame

parity aimed to work devices where parity in reg block
e.g. TPS65311-Q1 and TPS92518-Q1

TPS65311-Q1 frame format	[PWRRRRRRDDDDDDDD]
TPS92518-Q1	frame format	[WRRRRRPDDDDDDDDD]
P - parity bit, W - Read/Write bit, R - register, D -register data

TPS65311-Q1 parity mask 0x8000 (1000000000000000)
TPS92518-Q1	parity mask	0x0200 (0000001000000000)


calculates parity bit based up parity function defined by
regmap_config->parity_calc

regmap_config->parity_calc defaults to regmap_parity_calc_even()

adds alternate parity function regmap_parity_calc_odd()

calculates parity bit for writes if regmap_config->parity_write_mask is > 0
calculates parity bit for reads if regmap_config->parity_read_mask is > 0

parity is not calculated when bus implements reg_update_bits()


Altered the regmap_format_X_X_write functions to account for padding bits
allowing masks to write to either end of register address for formatted writes

Altered formatted_write to apply write and parity masks

Added parsers for 9 bit data format which are written by formatted write


Christopher Tyerman (5):
  Add Parity bit Calculation to regmaps
  Altered regmap_X_X_write functions to account for padding bits
  Added setting of writemap to formatted write
  Add Parity Calculation to formatted write
  Add parser for X_9 formats
