Thank for the replyYou should not look at these registers in isolation, they are part of
The reset driver uses two ranges:
- RSTYPE, RSTCTRL,RSTCFG, RSISO (Reset Main PLL Controller)
- RESETMUX8-10 registers
The content of these register ranges are completely used by the reset
driver.
Currently no one on the SoC can access them instead of the reset driver.
Also we don't use syscon/regmap at all - so adding this will be some
overhead.
As I posted previously:
"...configuring Reset multiplexer & PLL. And it tunes not only watchdog
usage..."
Yes, it tunes not only watchdog usage and uses part of registers from
PLL controller,
but all it works with are connected with reset functionality. These
ranges are used only
by reset driver and their purpose is reset functionality.
Maybe in the future some soft can use ranges in question for own tasks,
but it should be
done via reset driver. So as I see there is no reasons to use regmap for
reset driver.
some register area that has other functions as well and that you should
at least represent correctly in DT.
When I see something like
+ reg = <0x23100e4 0x10>,
+ <0x2620328 0x10>;
I am certain that there are other things between 0x2310000 and 0x23100e3, and
probably after 0x23100f4 as well. There must be some data sheet that
gives this register range a proper name, so put that into DT rather than
making up some arbitrary stuff that happens to match how today's kernel
driver needs it.
DT representing the hardware layout in the correct form.
