drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct device

2011-05-18T18:32:23Z

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get overwritten. This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to call of_match_device() directly instead. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of: fix race when matching drivers

2011-05-18T16:19:36Z

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time. Only write the result if the device matches. In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not", Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time. From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery failling.

drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct device

2011-02-28T08:36:38Z

Add a new .of_match field to struct device which points at the matching device driver .of_match_table entry when a device is probed via the device tree Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

of/device: Rework to use common platform_device_alloc() for allocating devices

2010-10-21T17:10:10Z

The current code allocates and manages platform_devices created from the device tree manually. It also uses an unsafe shortcut for allocating the platform_device and the resource table at the same time. (which I added in the last rework; sorry). This patch refactors the code to use platform_device_alloc() for allocating new devices. This reduces the amount of custom code implemented by of_platform, eliminates the unsafe alloc trick, and has the side benefit of letting the platform_bus code manage freeing the device data and resources when the device is freed.

of/device: Replace struct of_device with struct platform_device

2010-08-06T15:25:50Z

of_device is just an alias for platform_device, so remove it entirely. Also replace to_of_device() with to_platform_device() and update comment blocks. This patch was initially generated from the following semantic patch, and then edited by hand to pick up the bits that coccinelle didn't catch. @@ @@ -struct of_device +struct platform_device Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Reviewed-by: David S.

of/device: Make of_device_make_bus_id() usable by other code.

2010-07-30T06:03:58Z

The AMBA bus should also use of_device_make_bus_id() when populating device out of device tree data. This patch makes the function non-static, and adds a suitable prototype in of_device.h Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of/device: Replace of_device with platform_device in includes and core code

2010-07-24T15:58:21Z

of_device is currently just an #define alias to platform_device until it gets removed entirely. This patch removes references to it from the include directories and the core drivers/of code. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: David S. Miller

of: remove asm/of_device.h

2010-07-24T15:57:52Z

It is mostly unused now. Sparc has a few defines left in it, but they can be moved to other headers. Removing this header means that new architectures adding CONFIG_OF support don't need to also add this header file. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: David S. Miller

of: Merge of_platform_bus_type with platform_bus_type

2010-07-24T15:57:51Z

of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus. The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it was possible for the same device to appear on either bus. This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure, and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus. After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform drivers, the shim code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: David S. Miller

of/device: Move struct of_device define outside of CONFIG_OF_DEVICE test

2010-07-05T22:14:51Z

Some code uses of_device even when CONFIG_OF_DEVICE is not set. This patch makes of_device valid all the time by moving it outside of the ifdef CONFIG_OF_DEVICE test. Reported-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Randy Dunlap
