Re: [PATCH v5 6/7] mikrobus: Add mikroBUS driver
From: Ayush Singh
Date: Thu Jul 04 2024 - 09:29:55 EST
If Grove Sunlight patches become the primary way of handling connector
addon-board design, then most of this driver will probably be redundant.
Still, I will try answer the questions as much as I can.

Adds support for SPI mikroBUS addon boards with configuration based on
device tree. The goal is to get a minimal version in mainline to sort
out the device tree structure that should be used.
A mikroBUS board can use any combination of the following based protocols:
I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, Analog, GPIO with possibility of all pins being used
as GPIO instead of their original purpose. This requires the driver to be
flexible and identify the type of board based on the compatible string.
So this has nothing to do with greybus? Or am I thinking of something
else?
MikroBUS is it's own connector. But most of the prior work on MikroBUS
was done in relation to using it over greybus. So you are not completely
wrong. These patches approach to solve the local mikroBUS connector
problem, but should be extendable enough to allow support over greybus
in future.

What controls the lifespan of this object? You have multiple devices
pointed to here with different lifecycles, what controls this one?
Yes, so the lifecycle is supposed to be tied to the addon-board. Since
they are not hot plugable, it is the same as the lifecycle of the port
unless there is a sysfs entry for runtime detection of board. Still it
should be moved to a `mikrobus_board` struct or somewhere else, if we
are not going to use the Grove Patch setup.

That's some pointer dereferencing without checking anything, what could
go wrong...
Why don't you have your own real device? Why are you relying on a
platform device without actually showing your device anywhere in the
kernel's device topology? Are you sure that is ok?
Yes, it should be a real device. I do have patches locally where I am
creating and registering a device on mikrobus bus, so will do that in
the next patch series.

Again, why is this a platform driver? Why is a platform device used at
all here?
You mean it will be better to have a mikrobus bus driver similar to SPI
and I2C? While creating the mikrobus bus device seems simple, I will
need to look at how creating a driver from scratch works.

I will be observing the Grove Sunlight Patch series and adopt it if it
gets merged in mainline, so almost all of this might go away. Let's wait
and see I guess.
