1. 概念:
Regulator : 电源芯片, 比如电压转换芯片
Consumer : 消费者,使用电源的部件, Regulator是给Consumer供电的
machine : 单板,上面焊接有Regulator和Consumer
Constraints : 约束, 比如某个电源管理芯片输出的电压范围
Supply : 提供电源的部件, Regulator就是一个Supply; Regulator A可以给Regulator B供电, 那么Regulator B的Supply就是A

 

2. 写驱动程序:

(1). regulator驱动:
注册一个platform_driver: 在它的probe函数里分配、设置、注册一个regulator
"设置"里要做的事情: 实现regulator的操作, 比如enable, disable, set_voltage
(2). machine(单板)驱动:
注册一个platform_device: 在它的私有数据里指定regulator和consume的对应关系(这个电源芯片给哪一个部件供电)
指定约束条件(比如电压范围)
(3). consumer使用此电源的设备驱动:
使用即可: regulator_get, regulator_enable, regulator_disable, regulator_set_voltage....
注: 这只是没有使用设备树的情况下是这样的,其实就是以平台设备模型注册一个regulator,然后consumer去使用。

 

3. 不使用设备树的regulator_register流程分析:

// 分配regulator_dev
    rdev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct regulator_dev), GFP_KERNEL);

    /* set regulator constraints */
    set_machine_constraints
    add_regulator_attributes
    
    /* add consumers devices */
    set_consumer_device_supply
        在regulator_map_list链表里生成一项regulator_map: 它里面有dev_name(consumer的名字),supply(cosumer的电源引脚名字)

    // 把regulator_dev放入regulator_list
    list_add(&rdev->list, ®ulator_list);

 

4. 使用设备树的regulator_register()和regulator_get()流程分析:

regulator_register(const struct regulator_desc *, const struct regulator_config *) //drivers/regulator/core.c
    先自行各种检查,然后构造一个struct regulator_dev,从设备树中获取它的各种属性
    regulator_of_get_init_data //drivers/regulator/of_regulator.c
        of_get_regulation_constraints //drivers/regulator/of_regulator.c 通过设备树构造init_data,和约束
            若设备树中指定了“regulator-initial-mode”且regulator_desc.of_map_mode()存在,则调用它
    初始化rdev->consumer_list,rdev->list,rdev->notifier,指定rdev->disable_work=regulator_disable_work
    如果init_data->regulator_init()存在则调用
    判断是不是gpio控制的regulator,如果是就调用regulator_ena_gpio_request()
    使rdev->dev.class = ®ulator_class,此时sysfs下会有"regulator"文件夹,其下有regulator_dev_attrs中列出的文件。
    自动递增设置&rdev->dev的name为"regulator.%lu" "regulator"下的"regulator.%lu"下才会有regulator_dev_attrs中列出的文件了。
    set_machine_constraints
    device_register(&rdev->dev) //注册到设备模型
    dev_set_drvdata(&rdev->dev, rdev);
    rdev_init_debugfs(rdev);


使用设备树的regulator_get()流程分析:
struct regulator *regulator_get(struct device *dev, const char *id) //drivers/regulator/core.c, arg2为consumer的电源引脚
    regulator_dev_lookup //drivers/regulator/core.c
        使用devname与全局链表regulator_map_list中的每一项struct regulator_map->dev_name进行匹配,并返回匹配的struct regulator_dev结构体。
    regulator_resolve_supply 还要和rdev->supply_name的名字逐个比较
    create_regulator 根据struct regulator_dev创建一个struct regulator并返回
