This function looks fragile. Why not just checking the compatible
string of the parent node?

Yes, it is another way to check that we have an EBI parent node.

In this implementation, I was checking the number of reg tuples.
In case we have 6, it means that the register base address is defined in the parent node (EBI node).
In case we have 7, it means that the register base address is defined in the current node (NFC node).

Yes, I understand what you are doing, but I kind of dislike the logic.
Relying on the number of reg tuples is something that can be done (I
used it myself one time), but I think this is more a hack that you do
when you have no other way to differentiate. I guess the proper way
would be to look at the parent's compatible. If it matches what you
expect, then you can store the dev->of_node->parent->dev somewhere in
your controller's structure and then use it to initialize the clock and
regmap. This way you don't have to move anything else in the probe path.

OK, I will check the compatible string of the parent device using of_device_is_compatible API in v5.
In case of the parent is found, I will add it in the structure of the controller (dev_parent).
I will rely on this field only to get the common resources (the register base address and the clock) in the NFC node or in the EBI node.

I had something slightly different in mind: what about setting a
default value to this field as being the controller's device itself.
This way, once it is set to either the parent device or the device
itself, you can use it "blindly" in your devm_clk_get/regmap_init calls?

I will try to explain what I have in mind.

I will add a new field in the structure of the controller (not called dev_parent but cdev)
struct device *cdev;

Then, at probe time, this field will be assigned:
nfc->cdev = of_device_is_compatible(dev->parent->of_node, "bla bla") : dev->parent ? dev;

That's what I had in mind. Maybe you'll have to use
dev->of_node->parent though, I think they are not equivalent.


For the clock, it will be
nfc->clk = devm_clk_get(nfc->cdev, NULL);

For the register base, I need to replace:
res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
mmio = devm_ioremap_resource(dev, res);
if (IS_ERR(mmio))
return PTR_ERR(mmio);

nfc->regmap = devm_regmap_init_mmio(dev, mmio, &stm32_fmc2_regmap_cfg);
if (IS_ERR(nfc->regmap))
return PTR_ERR(nfc->regmap);

nfc->io_phys_addr = res->start;

With:

ret = of_address_to_resource(nfc->cdev->of_node, 0, &res);
if (ret)
return ret;

nfc->io_phys_addr = res.start;

nfc->regmap = device_node_to_regmap(nfc->cdev->of_node);
if (IS_ERR(nfc->regmap))
return PTR_ERR(nfc->regmap);

I expect that you were thinking about something like this proposal.

This means the regmap has already been initialized, can you make sure
it is actually the case? What if the probe of the EBI block happens
next, or is deferred? (maybe you'll get a -EPROBE_DEFER, which is fine
then). Please try booting with the EBI node but without the EBI driver
and see if this is handled gracefully.


In case we have an EBI node, the NFC node will be a child node of the EBI node.
The EBI driver will first be probed, getting all its resources and then it will populate all its children node (including the NFC node if this one is enabled). If the EBI driver is deferred because of getting one of its resources has failed, none of its children will be probed. They will be probed later when the EBI driver will succeed to get all its resources and will then populate all of its children.

In case we have the EBI node without its driver, none of its children will be populated, so the NFC node will not be probed.
