I must admit that I really don't like this code. Both res and
addr are only used during initialization, yet their presence suggests
runtime usage. Any chance to reqork this to not require those variables ?
We did that in an earlier version, see struct efch_cfg of:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-watchdog/patch/20210813213216.54780-1-Terry.Bowman@xxxxxxx/
The motivation of it was the same as you suggested to only use it
during init.
Having it in struct sp5100_tco made things simpler esp. in the
definition of the function interfaces where those new members are
used.
If that init vars are no longer in struct sp5100_tco then callers of
efch_read_pm_reg8() and efch_update_pm_reg8() will need to carry a
pointer to them. To avoid this I see those options:
1) Implement them as global (or a single global struct) and possibly
protect it by a mutex. There is only a single device anyway and we
wouldn't need a protection.
2) Have an own mmio implementation of tco_timer_enable() and/or
sp5100_tco_timer_init().
Yes, v3 will include refactoring to remove 'res' and 'addr'. I will also
correct the trailing newline you mentioned in an earlier email.

enum tco_reg_layout tco_reg_layout;
While at it, tco_reg_layout is also only used during initialization
and can be moved there too. This would raise option 3:
3) Add a pointer of struct sp5100_tco to struct efch_cfg and use that
struct instead in init funtions only. But that causes the most rework
(which would be ok to me).
Going with 3) looks the cleanest way, I would try that. But all
options have its advantages.
