My goodness!
It's been a long time since I've seen anything quite like this.
Yes, old things but working on recent kernel.
My suggestion to you:
- Split this up into components that fit functional subsystems
It is done. The audio part is present in ASoC subsystem (path 5 in this series). pinctrl function is implemented in this driver and, as I don't want to share registers, I would prefer to keep this function inside this driver.
The amount of defines and huge functions like pef2256_setup_e1() contradict it.
Even the pef2256_setup_e1() really does not follow Linux coding style - you know the size requirement, right?
pef2256_get_groups_count, struct pinmux_ops and others - this is pinctrl, not MFD! They cannot be in MFD driver.
Also, I sent a RFC related to HDLC and PHY. In this RFC, the pef2256 is considered as a PHY and handled in the PHY subsystem. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20230323103154.264546-1-herve.codina@bo...
- Run checkpatch.pl
I did.
There are tons of weird indentation,e.g.: +#define PEF2256_2X_PC_XPC_XLT (0x8 << 0) ^^^^ there is only one space after #define
... and other style issues:
CHECK: Please don't use multiple blank lines CHECK: spaces preferred around that '+' (ctx:VxV) CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis CHECK: Macro argument reuse '_groups' - possible side-effects? CHECK: usleep_range is preferred over udelay; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst CHECK: spaces preferred around that '/' (ctx:VxV)
- Remove all of the debug prints
I can do that in the next iteration if really needed.
- Move all of the defines out to a header file
These defines are related to registers. As I don't want to share these registers, is it really necessary to use a header file for them ?
- Be more verbose in your documentation / comments
I can improve the API documentation present in include/mfd/pef2256.h. Do you thing that is necessary ? Only a few devices will use this API.
