Some devices are designed and manufactured with some components having
multiple drop-in replacement options. These components are often
connected to the mainboard via ribbon cables, having the same signals
and pin assignments across all options. These may include the display
panel and touchscreen on laptops and tablets, and the trackpad on
laptops. Sometimes which component option is used in a particular device
can be detected by some firmware provided identifier, other times that
information is not available, and the kernel has to try to probe each
device.

This change attempts to make the "probe each device" case cleaner. The
current approach is to have all options added and enabled in the device
tree. The kernel would then bind each device and run each driver's probe
function. This works, but has been broken before due to the introduction
of asynchronous probing, causing multiple instances requesting "shared"
resources, such as pinmuxes, GPIO pins, interrupt lines, at the same
time, with only one instance succeeding. Work arounds for these include
moving the pinmux to the parent I2C controller, using GPIO hogs or
pinmux settings to keep the GPIO pins in some fixed configuration, and
requesting the interrupt line very late. Such configurations can be seen
on the MT8183 Krane Chromebook tablets, and the Qualcomm sc8280xp-based
Lenovo Thinkpad 13S.

Instead of this delicate dance between drivers and device tree quirks,
this change introduces a simple I2C component prober. For any given
class of devices on the same I2C bus, it will go through all of them,
doing a simple I2C read transfer and see which one of them responds.
It will then enable the device that responds.

This requires some minor modifications in the existing device tree.
The status for all the device nodes for the component options must be
set to "fail-needs-probe". This makes it clear that some mechanism is
needed to enable one of them, and also prevents the prober and device
drivers running at the same time.

Leave trailing comma in such cases (when it's not a terminator and

Perhaps you can introduce something like

#define DEFINE_I2C_OF_PROBE_CFG(_type_, _ops_)		\
	(struct ...) {					\
		.ops = _ops_,				\
		.type = #_type_,			\
	}

and use it here as

These strings are a bit long, perhaps wrap on one member per line?

I think it's better to leave this one as is. Not every entry will
use the same combination of parameters. And having the entry spelled
out like this makes it easier to read which value is for what
parameter, instead of having to go up to the macro definition.

For comparison, this entry uses just two of the parameters, while for
another platform I'm working on the full set of parameters is needed.

Using a compound literal like this questions the entire approach.
Why you can't you drop it and use the static initializers?

I don't follow. It's a valid use.

> Why you can't you drop it and use the static initializers?

Did you mean split that part out as a separate variable:

	static const struct i2c_of_probe_simple_opts
	chromeos_i2c_probe_voltorb_tch_opts = {
		.res_node_compatible = "elan,ekth6915",
		.supply_name = "vcc33",
		.gpio_name = "reset",
		.post_power_on_delay_ms = 1,
		.post_gpio_config_delay_ms = 300,
		.gpio_assert_to_enable = true,
	};

	static const struct chromeos_i2c_probe_data
	chromeos_i2c_probe_voltorb_touchscreen = {
		.cfg = &chromeos_i2c_probe_simple_touchscreen_cfg,
		.opts = &chromeos_i2c_probe_voltorb_tch_opts,
	};

Instead of the following, which is slightly shorter, and gets rid of one
explicit symbol name:

	static const struct chromeos_i2c_probe_data
	chromeos_i2c_probe_voltorb_touchscreen = {
		.cfg = &chromeos_i2c_probe_simple_touchscreen_cfg,
		.opts = &(const struct i2c_of_probe_simple_opts) {
			.res_node_compatible = "elan,ekth6915",
			.supply_name = "vcc33",
			.gpio_name = "reset",
			.post_power_on_delay_ms = 1,
			.post_gpio_config_delay_ms = 300,
			.gpio_assert_to_enable = true,
		},
	};

With that also looking at the above

#define DEFINE_I2C_OF_PROBE_CFG_NONE(_type_)				\
	DEFINE_I2C_OF_PROBE_CFG(type, NULL)

I'm not inclined on using compound literals here. "simple X cfg" will
likely get shared between multiple |chromeos_i2c_probe_data| entries,
and AFAIK the toolchain can't merge them. So we would end up with one
compound literal per entry, even if their contents are the same.

For the "dumb" case it makes sense though, since it would be one instance
per type. But we could go further and just wrap the whole
|chromeos_i2c_probe_data| declaration.

I'm not sure I follow, you are using compound literal _already_.
How does my proposal change that?

Maybe it's too far from now...

I'm using it where it makes sense, i.e. where the embedded variable
is not going to be shared with other instances.

For the dumb probers, there's only going to be one instance per "type".

For the simple probers, the config part is still one instance per "type",
but the parameters are board and component specific. There will be
multiple instances. Hence the config part can be shared, while the
parameters likely won't be.

This is what I have:

#define DEFINE_CHROMEOS_I2C_PROBE_DATA_DUMB(_type)
                        \
       static const struct chromeos_i2c_probe_data
chromeos_i2c_probe_dumb_ ## _type = {       \
               .cfg = &(const struct i2c_of_probe_cfg) {
                        \
                       .type = #_type,
                        \
               },
                        \
};

DEFINE_CHROMEOS_I2C_PROBE_DATA_DUMB(touchscreen);

But the below is static initializer, why do you need a compound literal here?

Because .cfg takes a pointer to a struct. It's not an embedded struct.
The compound literal creates the internal struct, and then its address
is taken and assigned to the .cfg field.

Does that make sense?

"simple" is taken. This is "dumb" as in it does not need any helpers.
Maybe "no-op" if you don't like the negative connotation?
