Hi Srini,

The idea of abstracting qfrom reads in general is good, but looking at the Implementation this seems to add unwanted overhead.

Every read (if the driver is reading byte by byte especially) would involve a syscon node lookup, memalloc and then regmap read.

To make it more efficient, two suggestions:

1) Instead of allocating memory in this library, let the clients allocate memory and provide a pointer (move memory management to client) 2) Provide one a time registration and then every read just specifies relative offset and length for every read

Usage pattern could be something like struct qfprom *qfprom_register(struct device *dev, int index); int devm_qfprom_get_data (struct qfprom *qfprom, int offset, int len, void *data);

Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] WIP: Add wrappers for qfprom access via syscon

Syscon fits very well to access qfprom. This also means drivers which

needs

to access qfprom have to talk to syscon and get regmap, offset, size and

then

do regmap reads. This will be kinda redone in every driver. Having a

wrapper

for this would avoid lot of code duplications and also provide a higher

level

and user friendly apis for qfprom. This patch attempt to provide such wrappers. This wrappers are easy way to use syscon for qfprom purposes.

Advantages of this approch is:

• driver need not have hardcoded qfprom offsets or have soc specific compatible strings to determine the offset.
• access multiple qfprom resources which is kinda tricky with standard syscon.
• no code duplication.
• light weight, single call.
• not a platform device driver level binding.

+QFPROM is basically some efuses where things like calibration data, +speed bins, etc are stored. This data is accessed by various drivers +like the cpufreq, thermal, etc.

+Required properties: +- compatible: must contain "qcom,qfprom" followed by "syscon" +- reg: Address range for QFPROM +- stride : register address stride.

• 1 for byte.
• 2 for 2 bytes
• 3 for 3 bytes
• 4 for a word.

+Example:

• qfprom: qfprom@00700000 {

• compatible 	= "qcom,qfprom", "syscon";
  

• reg		= <0x00700000 0x1000>;
