  Freescale i.MX8qm/qxp CSR module matches with what the simple power
managed bus driver does, considering it needs an IPG clock to be
enabled before accessing it's child devices, the child devices need
to be populated by the CSR module and the child devices' power
management operations need to be propagated to their parent devices.
Add the CSR module's compatible strings to simple_pm_bus_of_match[]
table to support the CSR module.

I did read the thread linked above, and I still think you should just
add "simple-pm-bus" to the compatible value in DTS, so no driver change
is needed, cfr. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/renesas,bsc.yaml.

If that doesn't work due to DT binding constraints, the latter should
be fixed.

This means that i.MX8qm/qxp CSR module dt-binding documentation needs
to be changed.  I'd like to know how Rob and Krzysztof think about
that.

Adding "simple-pm-bus" to the compatible value in DTS doesn't work,
because "simple-mfd" is matched first and "ONLY_BUS" is set for
"simple-mfd".  s/simple-mfd/simple-pm-bus/ for the compatbile value in
DTS does work, but it means that fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml needs to be
changed and moved from mfd directory to bus directory...

Hmm, fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml was first written earlier than the below
patch.  Without that patch, child devices of the CSR module can be
populated.

98e96cf80045 ("drivers: bus: simple-pm-bus: Add support for probing
simple bus only devices")

Should I go ahead to fix fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml and move it to bus
directory?

Is that because you have both "simple-mfd" and "simple-pm-bus",
and the former is listed first in DTS?
Does it work if you change the order?

BTW, originally I didn't want to introduce "simple-pm-bus" at all,
and make it just call pm_runtime_enable() for "simple-bus" (PM is
everywhere anyway), but that was rejected...

Yes. For example, compatible is set as below for CSR module in i.MX8qm
LVDS subsystem.

compatible = "fsl,imx8qm-lvds-csr", "syscon", "simple-mfd", "simple-pm-
bus";

> Does it work if you change the order?

Yes, it works if I swap the positions of "simple-mfd" and "simple-pm-
bus".

Device tree specification says the compatible strings should be listed
from most specific to most general.  "simple-mfd" and "simple-pm-bus"
sound like two different things, so I don't have good idea about the
order.  Replacing "simple-mfd" with "simple-pm-bus" and moving
fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml to bus directory look more reasonable to me.  But,
I'd like to know how do device tree folks think.

I don't think we want to start putting specific compatibles here. We
don't do it for simple-mfd, syscon and simple-bus, so neither should we
do it here.

The fsl,imx8qxp-csr.yaml bindings are broken anyway... You have device
specific bindings for non-simple device but use simple-mfd. You cannot.
simple-mfd means it is simple and none of the resources are needed for
children, but that binding contradicts it.

Now you kind of try to extend it even more make it more and more broken.

Rework the bindings keeping them backwards compatible. The combination
with simple-mfd should be deprecated and you can add whatever is needed
for a proper setup.

Because the device is not simple-mfd and should have never been made
that. I am surprised it passed Rob's review, I guess it slipped through
the cracks.

Now you have to live with borken bindings. You have a lesson for future
- put some effort to design them correctly from the beginning, so you
won't have problems. Bindings should be complete from the beginning, not
"I'll develop whatever is needed to match my driver and I will not care
about future".

I did try to rework the bindings and make the combination with simple-
mfd deprecated. However, it reminds me the problem that "simple-pm-bus" 
and "syscon" can not be in compatible string at the same time,
otherwise, nodename should match '^syscon@[0-9a-f]+$' and '^bus@[0-9a-
f]+$' at the same time. I mentioned the problem in the same thread[1]
where Rob and Lee suggest to go with this patch. "syscon" is needed
since i.MX8qxp MIPI DSI/LVDS combo PHY node references the CSR module
through a phandle, so dropping/deprecating "syscon" is a no-go. 

Also, as Rob mentioned in [1] "if register space is all mixed together,
then it is the former and an MFD", I think the CSR module should fall
into the simple-mfd category. Take i.MX8qxp MIPI DSI/LVDS CSR module as
an example, child device pxl2dpi register offset is 0x40, while child
device ldb register offsets are 0x20 and 0xe0.

Geert, Krzysztof, can you please consider to keep this patch as-is,
since it seems that there is no other option?

You are now mixing MFD with simple-mfd. If you have clocks there or any
other resources, it's not simple-mfd anymore.

There are other options, why do you say there is no? Making it proper
binding/driver for its children without abusing simple bindings. Simple
bindings are for simple cases and this turns out not the simple case.

I may try to make the combination with simple-mfd deprecated and add
another combination with i.MX8qm/qxp CSR compatible strings and syscon
only. Then, it will be a MFD, not simple-mfd.

I don't quite understand your comment here, sorry. Here are the 3
options I know:

1) Add a new MFD driver for the CSR module
I sent out a MFD driver[1] for the CSR module for review, but Rob and
Lee provided comments there and suggested to use this patch.

2) Use "simple-pm-bus" compatible string in the CSR module's compatbile
property
As mentioned before, "simple-pm-bus" contradicts with "syscon".

3) Add the CSR module's specific compatible strings in
simple_pm_bus_of_match[]
This is what this patch does and suggested by Rob and Lee.

Looks like 3) is the only feasible option.

Geert, Krzysztof, any objections to keep this patch as-is?

I beg to differ (but not w.r.t. the other resources): if any "glue" device
between parent and child hierarchies does not call pm_runtime_enable(),
Runtime PM (which is a Linux thing, not a DT thing) for the children
may not work correctly, as it won't propagate correctly to the parent.
So IMHO this is something to fix in Linux, not in DT.

Or drop the ".data = ONLY_BUS" for "simple-mfd"?
(and treat "simple-bus" the same as "simple-pm-bus", too ;-)

Saravana said it's wrong to deleting ONLY_BUS for "simple-mfd". See
Saravana's comments in [1].

Where are the clocks in that driver? Having MFD for something without
resources does not make any sense - this is why we have simple-mfd.

But I see in your [1] Rob's suggestion about adding the compatible to
simple-pm-bus.c, therefore it looks correct approach.
