[PATCH 1/2] arm64: dts: sun50i-a64-pinephone: Add AF8133J to PinePhone

[PATCH 1/2] arm64: dts: sun50i-a64-pinephone: Add AF8133J to PinePhone
Posted by Andrey Skvortsov 2 months, 3 weeks ago 
From: Icenowy Zheng <icenowy@aosc.io>

New batches of PinePhones switched the magnetometer to AF8133J from
LIS3MDL because lack of ST components.

Both chips use the same PB1 pin, but in different modes.
LIS3MDL uses it as an gpio input to handle interrupt.
AF8133J uses it as an gpio output as a reset signal.

It wasn't possible at runtime to enable both device tree nodes and
detect supported sensor at probe time, because both drivers try to
acquire the same gpio in different modes.

Device tree fixup will be done in firmware without introducing new board
revision and new dts.

FYI I've been working on an in-kernel prober [1] for such alternative
components. This does not require firmware support.

Thank you for the information.

I've tried to use in-kernel prober from your v7 patchset [1] on top of
-next and it worked without any changes to firmware.

Since there is still on-going review of your patches it looks like
it's to early to submit my changes for review. But I'm ready to test
your new patches.

FYI I'm open to either approach. If the firmware can do it, that is also
fine. I don't know if it makes sense to have both disabled by default
though? That would break existing users, but so would the in-kernel
prober approach, which requires both components be marked as
"fail-needs-probe", and also requires that the kernel driver be enabled.

In other words, I think the firmware approach is friendlier for existing
users that have the original batches.

Current patches leave original magnetometer enabled as before. So only
the new alternative magnetometer is disabled. Firmware prober will set
the correct status. So you are right firmware approach is a bit nicer
for existing users, nothing will change for them with any combination
of kernel and firmware. Let's go with a firmware approach with current
patches then, if nobody 

But I like your in-kernel approach as well. 
JFYI I've applied your v10 patches [1] on top of next-20241105 and retested
it with patches for magnetometer. It's available here [2].

If?

I'll wait a day before applying this patch then.
