[PATCH 0/3] mfd: tps65219: Let a board run past the warm threshold

[Chrispine Tinega]

The TPS65219 has four die temperature sensors, each with a warm and a
hot threshold. With a sensor's warm warning unmasked, the PMIC sequences
all its outputs down at the warm threshold, 110 to 130 C. With all four
masked, it only reports the warning and powers off at the hot threshold,
130 to 150 C. The masks come from NVM, so a board that wants the second
behaviour has to set them on every boot.

The BLIIoT ARMxy BL350, an AM6254 industrial controller rated to 85 C
ambient, ships a vendor kernel that does this from a devicetree flag.
This series adds a binding for it and the driver code, and corrects the
MASK_EFFECT macro on the way: it named bits 2:1 of MASK_CONFIG, which
are warm masks, instead of bits 6:5. Nothing used it yet.

The property is limited to the TPS65219. I have not checked the
MASK_CONFIG layout of the TPS65214 and TPS65215.

This series is build-tested for arm64 with W=1, and dt_binding_check
passes. It has not run on a board in this form. On a BL350, the
vendor's equivalent code sets the same four bits, and the PMIC reads
MASK_CONFIG = 0xef.

[PATCH 1/3] mfd: tps65219: Correct the MASK_EFFECT field of MASK_CONFIG

[Chrispine Tinega]

MASK_EFFECT is bits 6:5 of MASK_CONFIG (0x25), per table 7-46 of the
TPS65219 datasheet (SLVSGA0D). Bits 2:1 are the warm masks of sensors 1
and 2. Nothing uses the macro yet, so nothing has written the wrong bits.

[PATCH 2/3] regulator: dt-bindings: ti,tps65219: Add ti,no-warm-shutdown

[Chrispine Tinega]

The TPS65219 has four die temperature sensors, each with a warm and a
hot threshold. A sensor whose warm warning is not masked makes the PMIC
sequence all its outputs down at the warm threshold, 110 to 130 C.
Masked, the warning is only reported, and the PMIC powers off at the hot
threshold, 130 to 150 C. Whether a board can run past the warm threshold
depends on its thermal design, so the board's devicetree has to say so.

Add ti,no-warm-shutdown for that. It is allowed on the TPS65219 only:
the masks are not described here for the TPS65214 and TPS65215.

[PATCH 3/3] mfd: tps65219: Keep running past the warm threshold when asked

[Chrispine Tinega]

When the devicetree sets ti,no-warm-shutdown on a TPS65219, set the
four SENSOR_x_WARM_MASK bits in MASK_CONFIG at probe. The PMIC then
reports a warm die instead of powering the board down, and powers off
only at its hot threshold.

The masks are loaded from the PMIC's NVM at every power-up, so they are
set on every probe.

though we might still want a runtime override for when the user is more
cautious.
