NAK. You got here clear comment. You cannot have simple MFD with
resources. It is not simple anymore.

Everywhere else you also ignored comments.

Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for reviewing this from Billy.

The Aspeed chip is heavily used by the OpenBMC community and the 2600
has been used in production systems for almost 2 years now.  Many
companies are having to carry previous versions of these as patches, and
some of the APIs changed since the last revision from Billy.  So, I had
asked him to submit the latest patch set with as many revisions as he
understood what to change, since the conversation seemed to have died
since last time he submitted.  

I don't believe Billy is intentionally ignoring your feedback and he is
motivated to get this patch set wrapped up into an acceptable state.

In fairness, Billy asked for clarification from you on this point and didn't
receive it.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/24DD1FEB-95F3-47BE-BE61-8B0E6FBDE20F@aspeedtech.com/

He felt what he was trying to accomplish met the documented
expectations.  Are there some changes that need to be done in mfd.txt to
further clarify when to use it and when not to?

Again, we appreciate the time you've spent reviewing this patch set
already.  Thank you.

I gave the instruction what Billy should do:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/41500a04-b004-0e2c-20a1-3a3092b90e6d@linaro.org/

What about other ignored comments? About subject, quotes and more? Even
if this one was unclear, then why ignoring all the rest?

I think mfd.txt clearly states:
"For more complex devices, when the nexus driver has to
probe registers to figure out what child devices exist etc, this should
not be used. In the latter case the child devices will be determined by
the operating system."

Also, repeated many times:

Read entire message, not some parts of it.

"Subject: drop second, redundant "bindings".
Also use proper PATCH prefix."

Where did you drop the bindings in the subject? I still see it, look:
"dt-bindings: mfd: Add aspeed pwm-tach binding"
                                       ^^^^^^^^ what is this?

I still see them, so how did you solve them?

You do not need children for this.

Your example DTS must be complete and nothing like this was there. There
is still no point in the children.

You are joking right? The dependency is clearly visible in the driver.
You are getting parent's node to get its resources. That's the
dependency which is not allowed. Children should take care of their
resources, not parent's!

> In fact, it doesn’t require a specific driver to bind with the "aspeed,ast2600-pwm-tach" label. Their purpose is solely to share the same clock, reset phandle and base address.

That's what the drivers are for, so you need it...

> The main reason for using simple-mfd in this case is because these two independent devices share the same base address. In fact, I can relocate the clock and reset configurations to the child nodes rather than the parent node.

How? These are clocks of parent. Don't create fake DTS to represent
workarounds. Or you want to say that current DTS is fake and does not
match the hardware?

>  In this case, I still can't use simple-mfd?

For the last time: No. You cannot, because you have resources needed for
children.

1. Whether parent node stays or not, depends on the hardware. Please do
not make random changes which do not correspond to the hardware.

2. Implement all, *all* the comments from previous discussions, not only
this one.

Their purpose is solely to share the same clock, reset phandle and base address. The main reason for using simple-mfd in this case is because these two independent devices share the same base address.

Actually one more thoughts. I have doubt that you have two independent
devices. If you share the clock, reset line and register address space,
this means *you do not have two independent devices*.

You have most likely only one device.

Children are not for this. Look for cells examples (e.g. gpio-cells,
pwm-cells). It seems this is the same as Nuvoton NCT7362Y, so no. Don't
use reg for that purpose.

I've probably said this already, but any 'fan controller' needs to 
define a common fan binding that works for multiple scenarios. There's 
been some attempts in the last year which seems to have stalled out.
