[PATCH v2 2/3] net: pse-pd: add devm_pse_poll_helper()

From: Carlo Szelinsky

Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 16:22:10 EST


Extract the common event handling loop from pse_isr() into a shared
pse_handle_events() function, and add a generic poll-based alternative
to the IRQ path for PSE controllers that lack interrupt support or
have IRQ lines not wired on the board.

The new devm_pse_poll_helper() function sets up a delayed work that
periodically calls the driver's map_event callback to detect state
changes, feeding events into the existing ntf_fifo / pse_send_ntf_worker
notification pipeline. This reuses the same pse_irq_desc interface as
the IRQ path — the driver provides a map_event callback that populates
per-PI notification arrays.

The poll interval is configurable via the DT property "poll-interval-ms"
and defaults to 500ms, balancing responsiveness against I2C bus load.
