drivercore: Output common devicetree information in uevent

2012-02-01T21:26:30Z

When userspace needs to find a specific device, it currently isn't easy to resolve a /sys/devices/ path from a specific device tree node. Nor is it easy to obtain the compatible list for devices. This patch generalizes the code that inserts OF_* values into the uevent device attribute so that any device that is attached to an OF node will have that information exported to userspace. Without this patch only platform devices and some powerpc-specific busses have access to this data. The original function also creates a MODALIAS property for the compatible list, but that code has not been generalized into the common case because it has the potential to break module loading on a lot of bus types. Bus types are still responsible for their own MODALIAS properties. Boot tested on ARM and compile tested on PowerPC and SPARC.

PM / Sleep: Remove forward-only callbacks from platform bus type

2011-12-21T21:01:14Z

The forward-only PM callbacks provided by the platform bus type are not necessary any more, because the PM core executes driver callbacks when the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present, so drop them. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

drivers_base: make argument to platform_device_register_full const

new helper to create platform devices with dma mask

2011-08-26T18:31:09Z

compared to the most powerful and already existing helper (namely platform_device_register_resndata) this allows to specify a dma_mask. To make eventual extensions later more easy, a struct holding the used information is created instead of passing the information by function parameters.

drivers_base: platform: use always ->name for uevent

2011-08-23T00:53:08Z

If id_entry is available then it is used. However if we remove first the driver followed by the device, then the id_entry is pointing to driver's memory which is long gone. Since id->name and plat->name are equal there is no point in distinguishing them.

driver core: Add ability for arch code to setup pdev_archdata

2011-07-08T05:21:35Z

On some architectures we need to setup pdev_archdata before we add the device. Waiting til a bus_notifier is too late since we might need the pdev_archdata in the bus notifier. One example is setting up of dma_mask pointers such that it can be used in a bus_notifier. We add weak noop version of arch_setup_pdev_archdata() and allow the arch code to override with access the full definitions of struct device, struct platform_device, and struct pdev_archdata.

drivers/base/platform.c: don't mark platform_device_register_resndata() as __init_or_module

2011-06-07T17:01:17Z

This reverts 737a3bb9416ce2a7c7a4 ("Driver core: move platform device creation helpers to .init.text (if MODULE=n)"). That patch assumed that platform_device_register_resndata() is only ever called from __init code but that isn't true in the case ioctl->drm_ioctl->radeon_cp_init().
