I had a glance at the enclosure driver; it looks pretty geared toward SES-like things (drivers/scsi/ses.c being its only usage I can see in the kernel at the moment) and while it could perhaps be pressed into working for this it seems like it would probably drag in a fair amount of boilerplate and result in a somewhat gratuitously confusing driver arrangement (calling the things involved in the cases we're looking at "enclosures" seems like a bit of a stretch).

As an alternative, would something like the patch below be more along the lines of what you're suggesting?  And if so, would it make sense to generalize it into something like 'pmbus-switch.c' and add a PMBUS_HAVE_POWERSWITCH functionality bit or similar in the pmbus code instead of hardcoding it for only LM25066 support?



No. Don't access pmbus functions from outside drivers/hwmon/pmbus.

I used to be opposed to function export restrictions (aka export namespaces),
but you are making a good case that we need to introduce them for pmbus
functions.

Guenter

Okay -- I figured that was likely to be frowned upon, but the alternative seemed to be effectively duplicating non-trivial chunks of the pmbus code. However, upon realizing that the LM25066 doesn't actually require any of the paging work the generic pmbus code provides, I suppose it can actually be done with a simple smbus read & write. Does this version look better?

Subject: [PATCH] misc: add lm25066-switch driver

This driver allows an lm25066 to be switched on and off from userspace
via sysfs.
