[PATCH v9 10/12] mfd: nct6694: Introduce regmap-based transport abstraction
From: a0282524688
Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 02:36:23 EST
From: Ming Yu <a0282524688@xxxxxxxxx>
Sub-device drivers call into the USB transport directly, so a second
transport cannot be added without touching all of them.
Wrap the transport behind a regmap bus. The command header is mapped
onto a single 32-bit register by packing the host control byte, the
module id and the 16-bit offset, so that the sub-device drivers can use
the regmap bulk accessors. The access_lock is dropped as regmap already
serialises the bus accesses. Transfers larger than the transport buffer
are rejected, as the length field of the command header is 16 bits wide.
Add nct6694_write_read_msg() for the commands that send a request and
read the reply back in the same firmware message, and use it for the
I2C deliver command.

Changes in v9:
- Rejected transfers larger than NCT6694_MAX_DATA_LEN in the regmap bus
callbacks, as the length field of the command header is 16 bits wide.
- Added Andi's Acked-by.
Changes in v8:
- Renamed the transport buffer arguments to tx_buf/rx_buf.
- Dropped max_raw_read/max_raw_write from the regmap_config, as they
are ignored when a regmap_bus is provided.
Changes in v7:
- Made the USB transport helpers static and gave nct6694_usb_write_msg()
separate @tx/@rx buffers, so a SET command only copies the firmware
reply back when the caller asks for it.
- Documented in the shared header why nct6694_write_read_msg() is
expressed as a read of a SET register.
Changes in v6:
- New patch. Replaces the v5 function-pointer abstraction with a
regmap_bus based transport: the firmware command header is packed into
a single 32-bit regmap register and sub-device drivers use the regmap
bulk accessors. Adds nct6694_write_read_msg() for request/response
commands and drops the per-transport access_lock (regmap already
serialises bus accesses).
