[PATCH] Add bus_type probe, remove, shutdown methods.

2006-01-13T19:26:04Z

Add bus_type probe, remove and shutdown methods to replace the corresponding methods in struct device_driver. This matches the way we handle the suspend/resume methods. Since the bus methods override the device_driver methods, warn if a device driver is registered whose methods will not be called. The long-term idea is to remove the device_driver methods entirely.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08Z

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Create platform_device.h to contain all the platform device details.

[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks

2005-10-28T16:52:56Z

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nested

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to (hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess. But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work (remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class device being added to the system.) Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday, moving /sys/block into /sys/class. The main hindrance is that pesky /dev numberspace issue...

[PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug event

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver core: pass interface to class interface methods

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

Driver core: pass interface to class intreface methods Pass interface as argument to add() and remove() class interface methods. This way a subsystem can implement generic add/remove handlers and then call interface-specific ones. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: add helper device_is_registered()
