Is this really a regulator? Or just a GPIO line used to reset the
USB PHY?

It is in fact a GPIO line used as reset.

If this is the case, I don't think it should be represented as a
regulator.

Why not? I think it fits very well in the regulator device model.

I'm not sure fitting very well is the correct term.
It works, for sure, but it is no different than when we were trying
to abuse the regulator fmwk to enable the 32k clock in phoenix.
It is just a hack.


The only difference is there is a dedicated framework for clocks.
Since there is nothing specific to
handle reset lines it is left to the driver writer how he wants to
manage it.


There is a proposed binding for gpio-controlled reset lines, but it is
not yet merged [1].
I guess it can fit most usage patterns, and it can be an interesting
move in the future.

I'm glad to see that I was not the only one thinking that the regulator was not the right fmwk to do that :-)

Thanks for the pointer Florian.

Thanks again Florian.

I guess that series should be merged for 3.11? Based on the thread, it should to through arm-soc.

Roger,

It might be tricky to have dependency on that series, but if this is possible, you should try. Otherwise, just keep the existing one, adding that a new solution will be available soon as a disclaimer.


I will rework the PHY driver to use the new gpio-reset driver. But for 3.11 let's proceed the way it is.
I'll resend this one with a disclaimer.

OK, I've just done it myself while applying your series.

Regards,
Benoit
