[PATCH 0/2] rtc: pcf85363: add support for high-impedance output

From: Javier Carrasco
Date: Wed Oct 25 2023 - 12:22:07 EST


This series adds support for the high-impedance (hi-Z) output mode. The
current implementation only allows two output modes: output clock
(default) and interrupt. In cases where the output is only used in
low-power modes as a clock source for other devices (PMU, PMIC, etc)
or the output is not needed at all, the hi-Z can be used to reduce power
consumption.

To model the hi-Z output, a new property "hiz-output" has been added and
the following cases have been taken into account:
- hiz-output = enabled: the output is not available in the design and
must be kept in high-impedance mode.
- hiz-output = sleep: the output is only required in sleep (low-power)
mode.
- hiz-output = disabled (default): for the sake of completion, this mode
ignores the hiz-output altogether and acts as if the property was not
defined.

Any other value will trigger a dev_warn and the default value (disabled)
will be used as it is done with other non-mandatory properties.
