Stephen Warren bacdbe0773 regmap: introduce fast_io busses, and use a spinlock for them
Some bus types have very fast IO. For these, acquiring a mutex for every
IO operation is a significant overhead. Allow busses to indicate their IO
is fast, and enhance regmap to use a spinlock for those busses.

Stephen Warren 0135bbcc7a regmap: introduce explicit bus_context for bus callbacks
The only context needed by I2C and SPI bus definitions is the device
itself; this can be converted to an i2c_client or spi_device in order
to perform IO on the device. However, other bus types may need more
context in order to perform IO. Enable this by having regmap_init accept
a bus_context parameter, and pass this to all bus callbacks. The
existing callbacks simply pass the struct device here. Future bus types
may pass something else.

Linus Torvalds 250f6715a4 The following text was taken from the original review request:
"[RFC PATCH 0/2] audit of linux/device.h users in include/*"
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/4/159
 --
 
 Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:
 
 	void foo(struct device *dev);
 
 and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
 sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
 reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
 reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
 simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.
 
 Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
 commits.  One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then
 one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir
 wherever possible.

Paul Gortmaker 313162d0b8 device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir
The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.

Clean up the users as follows:

1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.

2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.

3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h

4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).

Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.

Total removals from #1 and #2: 51.  Total additions coming
from #3: 9.  Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.

As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

Mark Brown 22f0d90a34 regmap: Support register patch sets
Device manufacturers frequently provide register sequences, usually not
fully documented, to be run at startup in order to provide better defaults
for devices (for example, improving performance in the light of silicon
evaluation). Support such updates by allowing drivers to register update
sets with the core. These updates will be written to the device immediately
and will also be rewritten when the cache is synced.

The assumption is that the reason for resyncing the cache will always be
that the device has been powered off. If this turns out to not be the case
then a separate operation can be provided.

Currently the implementation only allows a single set of updates to be
specified for a device, this could be extended in future.

Mark Brown f8beab2bb6 regmap: Add a reusable irq_chip for regmap based interrupt controllers
There seem to be lots of regmap-using devices with very similar interrupt
controllers with a small bank of interrupt registers and mask registers
with an interrupt per bit. This won't cover everything but it's a good
start.

Each chip supplies a base for the status registers, a base for the mask
registers, an optional base for writing acknowledgements (which may be the
same as the status registers) and an array of bits within each of these
register banks which indicate the interrupt.

There is an assumption that the bit for each interrupt will be the same
in each of the register bank.

Paul Gortmaker de47725421 include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possible
The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.

The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.

There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.

Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

Dimitris Papastamos 2cbbb579bc regmap: Add the LZO cache support
This patch adds support for LZO compression when storing the register
cache.

For a typical device whose register map would normally occupy 25kB or 50kB
by using the LZO compression technique, one can get down to ~5-7kB.  There
might be a performance penalty associated with each individual read/write
due to decompressing/compressing the underlying cache, however that should not
be noticeable.  These memory benefits depend on whether the target architecture
can get rid of the memory occupied by the original register defaults cache
which is marked as __devinitconst.  Nevertheless there will be some memory
gain even if the target architecture can't get rid of the original register
map, this should be around ~30-32kB instead of 50kB.

Dimitris Papastamos 28644c809f regmap: Add the rbtree cache support
This patch adds support for the rbtree cache compression type.

Each rbnode manages a variable length block of registers.  There can be no
two nodes with overlapping blocks.  Each block has a base register and a
currently top register, all the other registers, if any, lie in between these
two and in ascending order.

The reasoning behind the construction of this rbtree is simple.  In the
snd_soc_rbtree_cache_init() function, we iterate over the register defaults
provided by the regcache core.  For each register value that is non-zero we
insert it in the rbtree.  In order to determine in which rbnode we need
to add the register, we first look if there is another register already
added that is adjacent to the one we are about to add.  If that is the case
we append it in that rbnode block, otherwise we create a new rbnode
with a single register in its block and add it to the tree.

There are various optimizations across the implementation to speed up lookups
by caching the most recently used rbnode.

Dimitris Papastamos 9fabe24e9b regmap: Introduce caching support
This patch introduces caching support for regmap.  The regcache API
has evolved essentially out of ASoC soc-cache so most of the actual
caching types (except LZO) have been tested in the past.

The purpose of regcache is to optimize in time and space the handling
of register caches.  Time optimization is achieved by not having to go
over a slow bus like I2C to read the value of a register, instead it is
cached locally in memory and can be retrieved faster.  Regarding space
optimization, some of the cache types are better at packing the caches,
for e.g. the rbtree and the LZO caches.  By doing this the sacrifice in
time still wins over doing I2C transactions.

Lars-Peter Clausen 6f306441e9 regmap: Add support for device specific write and read flag masks.
Some buses like SPI have no standard notation of read or write operations.
The general scheme here is to set or clear specific bits in the register
address to indicate whether the operation is a read or write. We already
support having a read flag mask per bus, but as there is no standard
the bits which need to be set or cleared differ between devices and vendors,
thus we need a mechanism to specify them per device.

This patch adds two new entries to the regmap_config struct, read_flag_mask and
write_flag_mask. These will be or'ed onto the top byte when doing a read or
write operation. If both masks are empty the device will fallback to the
regmap_bus masks.

Mark Brown bd20eb541e regmap: Allow drivers to specify register defaults
It is useful for the register cache code to be able to specify the
default values for the device registers. The major use is when restoring
the register cache after suspend, knowing the register defaults allows
us to skip registers that are at their default values when we resume which
can be a substantial win on larger modern devices. For some devices
(mostly older ones) the hardware does not support readback so the only way we
can know the values is from code and so initializing the cache with default
values makes it much easier for drivers work with read/modify/write
updates.

Mark Brown b83a313bf2 regmap: Add generic non-memory mapped register access API
There are many places in the tree where we implement register access for
devices on non-memory mapped buses, especially I2C and SPI. Since hardware
designers seem to have settled on a relatively consistent set of register
interfaces this can be effectively factored out into shared code.  There
are a standard set of formats for marshalling data for exchange with the
device, with the actual I/O mechanisms generally being simple byte
streams.

We create an abstraction for marshaling data into formats which can be
sent on the control interfaces, and create a standard method for
plugging in actual transport underneath that.

This is mostly a refactoring and renaming of the bottom level of the
existing code for sharing register I/O which we have in ASoC. A
subsequent patch in this series converts ASoC to use this.  The main
difference in interface is that reads return values by writing to a
location provided by a pointer rather than in the return value, ensuring
we can use the full range of the type for register data.  We also use
unsigned types rather than ints for the same reason.

As some of the devices can have very large register maps the existing
ASoC code also contains infrastructure for managing register caches.
This cache work will be moved over in a future stage to allow for
separate review, the current patch only deals with the physical I/O.
