[PATCH v5 1/1] regmap: Synchronize cache for the page selector

From: Andy Shevchenko

Date: Mon Mar 02 2026 - 13:52:27 EST


If the selector register is represented in each page, its value
according to the debugfs is stale because it gets synchronized
only after the real page switch happens. Hence the regmap cache
initialisation from the HW inherits outdated data in the selector
register.

Synchronize cache for the page selector just in time.

Before (offset followed by hexdump, the first byte is selector):

// Real registers
18: 05 ff 00 00 ff 0f 00 00 f0 00 00 00
...
// Virtual (per port)
40: 05 ff 00 00 e0 e0 00 00 00 00 00 1f
50: 00 ff 00 00 e0 e0 00 00 00 00 00 1f
60: 01 ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00
70: 02 ff 00 00 cf f3 00 00 00 00 00 0c
80: 03 ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff
90: 04 ff 00 00 ff 0f 00 00 f0 00 00 00

After:

// Real registers
18: 05 ff 00 00 ff 0f 00 00 f0 00 00 00
...
// Virtual (per port)
40: 00 ff 00 00 e0 e0 00 00 00 00 00 1f
50: 01 ff 00 00 e0 e0 00 00 00 00 00 1f
60: 02 ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00
70: 03 ff 00 00 cf f3 00 00 00 00 00 0c
80: 04 ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff
90: 05 ff 00 00 ff 0f 00 00 f0 00 00 00

v5: applied fix to avoid circular dependency (infinite loop)
v4: reworked the approach completely

Dmitry,
Please, test on your HW to be sure this will have no side effects
in your case with LT9611.

Marek, this is the same version I sent you earlier off the list.
I haven't added any tag (while knowing that you tested it, so please
confirm it by providing a formal Tested-by, thanks!

FWIW, I have tested it on Intel Galileo board with Cypress CY8C9540 chip.
