Please do not include 'i2c' in the filename. If the driver is expanded in
the future to support SPI, it would make sense to have touchnetix_axiom.c,
touchnetix_axiom_i2c.c and touchnetix_axiom_spi.c. To prevent this driver
from having to be renamed in that case, just call it touchnetix_axiom.c.


Sure but the generic part of the code could also be moved to touchnetix_axiom.c.

Nit: this comment is misleading. The enum itself does not hold state; it

Ok.

more common style and namespace all functions:

Note any line breaks are aligned to the opening parenthesis.


Fixed, thx.

Again, please use u8 in place of char, as was done for the first element.

OK.

+ }

This check papers over negative error codes that may have been returned by
i2c_transfer(). For ret < 0 you should return ret, and only return -EIO for
0 <= ret < ARRAY_SIZE(msg).

More importantly, however, if this device supports multiple transports and
you expect SPI support can be added in the future, you really should use
regmap throughout in order to avoid ripping up this driver later.


I have a doubt on wether or not regmap can be used for SPI as there is some
specific padding required for SPI.

The error handling between your read and write wrappers is inconsistent;
please see my comment above.

Is there any reason i2c_master_send() cannot work here? I'm guessing the
controller needs a repeated start in between the two messages?


Yes reads requires repeated starts between each messages.

For writes I could still use i2c_master_send() but what makes it more
relevant here ?

For these kind of special requirements, it's helpful to add some comments
as to why the HW calls for additional housekeeping.

What is a usage table? These comments aren't helpful unless some of the
underlying concepts are defined as well.

It's a set of registers regrouped in categories (data, configuration, device and report).

I'll try to clarify it.


+static u32 axiom_populate_usage_table(struct axiom_data *ts, char *rx_data)

There is no need to initialize this iterator.

Please consider whether you can use a packed struct for this decoding.

Nit: this line break seems unnecessary.

In input, variables that represent a negative error code (fail) or zero (pass)
tend to be called 'error'.

+ devinfo->num_usages = rx_data[10];
+ devinfo->silicon_revision = rx_data[11];

Opinions may vary here, but mine is that it is a waste of memory and time
to read and parse all of this data, only to print it at debug level. Unless
these variables are used elsewhere or reported to user space via sysfs, I
would drop all of this. It seems like cruft leftover from a vendor driver.

If you feel strongly about keeping these variables, then axiom_devinfo should
be defined as a packed struct to prevent having to disect rx_data[] byte by
byte. You should just read into &devinfo directly.

Ack thx.

Please forgive me in case I am simply slow to understand, but I really do
not think we can accept this kind of encapsulation. We have multiple calls
to input_mt_sync() and input_sync() spread across different functions, one
of which uses a 'done' flag to make a decision. It's also unclear what 'u41'
and 'u46' represent. The current implementation is too confusing to review
effectively IMO.

What we ultimately want to see here is one homogenous event handler where
MT slots are processed, followed by one call to input_mt_sync(), itself
followed by one call to input_sync() after any additional events (e.g. keys)
are processed. It's certainly OK to break out some processing into helper
functions, but we ultimately want to see one entry point into the input core.

Please consider whether there is a more maintainable way to organize this
processing; it seems more complex than other touchscreen drivers.

OK I'll rework this in v4.

Please make the return type of helper functions like axiom_handle_events() of
type int, and consider -ENODATA for this particular condition.

Even though callers to axiom_handle_events() are void at this time, you should
start out with the driver being flexible in case it grows over time.

Since 'usage' is read from the HW, we need a default branch for handling

+/* Rebaseline the touchscreen, effectively zero-ing it */

What does it mean to rebaseline the touchscreen? I'm guessing it means
to null out or normalize pressure? Please consider a less colloquialized
function name.

Out of curiousity, what happens if the user's hand happens to be on the
touch surface at the time you call axiom_rebaseline()? Does the device
recover on its own?

This indeed force the controller to measure a new capacitance by zeoring it,
I don't really know if it's harmful, yet the documentation says rebaseline is
for tuning or debug purpose.

I believe this is done for testing the communication.

Are you expecting each element to be initialized to zero?

Yes.

+
+ axiom_reset(ts->reset_gpio);

We shouldn't call axiom_reset() if reset_gpio is NULL. Even though the
calls to gpiod_set_value_cansleep() will bail safely, there is no reason
to make the CPU sleep for 100 ms if the device was not actually reset.

No

This is a kernel panic waiting to happen, as the interrupt handler (which can
post input events) is declared before the input device has been allocated.

Normally you want to set up interrupts last, after all resources have been
initialized and the HW has been configured.

Why to hard-code the key to BTN_LEFT as opposed to making it configurable via
