of: Output devicetree alias names in uevent

2013-02-06T11:06:35Z

In some situations, userspace may want to resolve a device by function and logical number (ie, "serial0") rather than by the base address or full device path. Being able to resolve a device by alias frees userspace from the burden of otherwise having to maintain a mapping between device addresses and their logical assignments on each platform when multiple instances of the same hardware block are present in the system. Although the uevent device attribute contains devicetree compatible information and the full device path, the uevent does not list the alises that may have been defined for the device.

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.

dt/powerpc: move of_bus_type infrastructure to ibmebus

2011-02-28T08:36:38Z

arch/powerpc/kernel/ibmebus.c is the only remaining user of the of_bus_type support code for initializing the bus and registering drivers. All others have either been switched to the vanilla platform bus or already have their own infrastructure. This patch moves the functionality that ibmebus is using out of drivers/of/{platform,device}.c and into ibmebus.c where it is actually used. Also renames the moved symbols from of_platform_* to ibmebus_bus_* to reflect the actual usage. This patch is part of moving all of the of_platform_bus_type users over to the platform_bus_type.

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: 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: 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: Add OF style matching helper function

2010-07-05T22:14:51Z

Add of_driver_match_device() helper function. This function can be used by bus types to determine if a driver works with a device when using OF style matching. If CONFIG_OF is unselected, then it is a nop.

of: Modify of_device_get_modalias to be passed struct device

2010-07-05T22:14:28Z

Now that the of_node pointer is part of struct device, of_device_get_modalias could be used on any struct device that has the device node pointer set. This patch changes of_device_get_modalias to accept a struct device instead of a struct of_device.
