2016-04-29phy: core: Allow children node to be overriddenThierry Reding1-2/+14
In order to more flexibly support device tree bindings, allow drivers to override the container of the child nodes. By default the device node of the PHY provider is assumed to be the parent for children, but bindings may decide to add additional levels for better organization.

2015-05-11phy: core: Add devm_of_phy_get_by_index to phy-coreArun Ramamurthy1-1/+6
Some generic drivers, such as ehci, may use multiple phys and for such drivers referencing phy(s) by name(s) does not make sense. Instead of inventing new naming schemes and using custom code to iterate through them, such drivers are better of using nameless phy bindings and using this newly introduced API to iterate through them.

2014-07-22phy: core: Let node ptr of PHY point to PHY and not of PHY providerKishon Vijay Abraham I1-4/+6
In case of multi-phy PHY providers, each PHY should be modeled as a sub node of the PHY provider. Then each PHY will have a different node pointer (node pointer of sub node) than that of PHY provider. Added this provision in the PHY core. Also fixed all drivers to use the updated API.

2014-02-05drivers: phy: Add support for optional physAndrew Lunn1-7/+13
Add devm_phy_optional_get and phy_optional_get, which should be used when the phy is optional. They does not return an error when the phy does not exist, rather they returns NULL, which is considered as a valid phy, but results in NOPs when used with the consumer API.

2014-02-05drivers: phy: Make NULL a valid phy referenceAndrew Lunn1-0/+6
The common clock framework considers NULL a valid clock reference. This makes handling optional clocks simple, in that if the optional clock is not available, a NULL reference can be used in the place of a real clock, simplifying the clock consumer. Extend this concept to the phy consumer API. A NULL can be passed to the release calls, the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and phy_power_off() and a NOP is performed.

2013-09-27drivers: phy: add generic PHY frameworkKishon Vijay Abraham I1-0/+166
The PHY framework provides a set of APIs for the PHY drivers to create/destroy a PHY and APIs for the PHY users to obtain a reference to the PHY with or without using phandle. For dt-boot, the PHY drivers should also register *PHY provider* with the framework. PHY drivers should create the PHY by passing id and ops like init, exit, power_on and power_off. This framework is also pm runtime enabled. The documentation for the generic PHY framework is added in Documentation/phy.txt and the documentation for dt binding can be found at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt Cc: Tomasz Figa <t.figa@samsung.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com> Acked-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Tested-by: Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
