Hi Marek,

In case a regulator DT node contains regulator-always-on or regulator-boot-on
property, make sure the regulator gets correctly configured by U-Boot on start
up. Unconditionally probe such regulator drivers. This is a preparatory patch
for introduction of .regulator_post_probe() which would trigger the regulator
configuration.

Parsing of regulator-always-on and regulator-boot-on DT property has been
moved to regulator_post_bind() as the information is required early, the
rest of the DT parsing has been kept in regulator_pre_probe() to avoid
slowing down the boot process.

This is reading a lot of DT stuff very early, which may be slow. It is
also reading from the DT in the bind() step which we sometimes have to
do, but try to avoid.

Could we set up the livetree pre-bind? What about MMU? On armv8 at least this would have a huge impact on performance. I've done some measurements and there is at least 1 order of magnitude difference between parsing FDT with no caches vs parsing livetree with, it's huge.

Also this seems to happen in SPL and again pre-reloc and again in
U-Boot post-reloc?

Not so long ago I proposed a similar patchset with the same goal
and I have discovered massive issues with SPL and relocation
interfering with driver loading.

The issue which I have personally encountered was i2c driver failure
due to double probing. This behavior was triggered by
always-on/boot-on regulators provided by pmic which in most
cases is an i2c device.

At that time everyone just ignored me, so idk if tegra i2c is the only
driver which has this response or there are more, but be aware that
this patch set may cause cascade failure on many devices.

I'm not sure if I remember this, but I can certainly see some problems
with it. Did we have drivers that probed in the bind() function,
perhaps?

Best regards,
Svyatoslav R.

Should we have a step in the init sequence where we set up the
regulators, by calling regulators_enable_boot_on() ?

Simon
