      platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: New driver for x86 Android tablets · 55fa3c96
      Hans de Goede authored 
      x86 tablets which ship with Android as (part of) the factory image
typically have various problems with their DSDTs. The factory kernels
shipped on these devices typically have device addresses and GPIOs
hardcoded in the kernel, rather then specified in their DSDT.

With the DSDT containing a random collection of devices which may or
may not actually be present as well as missing devices which are
actually present.

This driver, which loads only on affected models based on DMI matching,
adds DMI based instantiating of kernel devices for devices which are
missing from the DSDT, fixing e.g. battery monitoring, touchpads and/or
accelerometers not working.

Note the Kconfig help text also refers to "various fixes" ATM there are
no such fixes, but there are also known cases where entries are present
in the DSDT but they contain bugs, such as missing/wrong GPIOs. The plan
is to also add fixes for things like this here in the future.

This is the least ugly option to get these devices to fully work and to
do so without adding any extra code to the main kernel image (vmlinuz)
when built as a module.

      platform/x86: int3472: Deal with probe ordering issues · 97c2259e
      Hans de Goede authored 
      The clk and regulator frameworks expect clk/regulator consumer-devices
to have info about the consumed clks/regulators described in the device's
fw_node.

To work around this info missing from the ACPI tables on devices where
the int3472 driver is used, the int3472 MFD-cell drivers attach info about
consumers to the clks/regulators when registering these.

This causes problems with the probe ordering wrt drivers for consumers
of these clks/regulators. Since the lookups are only registered when the
provider-driver binds, trying to get these clks/regulators before then
results in a -ENOENT error for clks and a dummy regulator for regulators.

All the sensor ACPI fw-nodes have a _DEP dependency on the INT3472 ACPI
fw-node, so to work around these probe ordering issues the ACPI core /
i2c-code does not instantiate the I2C-clients for any ACPI devices
which have a _DEP dependency on an INT3472 ACPI device until all
_DEP-s are met.

This relies on acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() getting called by the driver
for the _DEP-s when they are ready, add a acpi_dev_clear_dependencies()
call to the discrete.c probe code.

In the tps68470 case calling acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() is already done
by the acpi_gpiochip_add() call done by the driver for the GPIO MFD cell
(The GPIO cell is deliberately the last cell created to make sure the
clk + regulator cells are already instantiated when this happens).

However for proper probe ordering, the clk/regulator cells must not just
be instantiated the must be fully ready (the clks + regulators must be
registered with their subsystems).

Add MODULE_SOFTDEP dependencies for the clk and regulator drivers for
the instantiated MFD-cells so that these are loaded before us and so
that they bind immediately when the platform-devs are instantiated.
