2013-01-18driver core: add helper macro for platform_driver_probe() boilerplateFabio Porcedda
For simple modules that contain a single platform_driver without any additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated boilerplate. This patch adds a new macro, module_platform_driver_probe(), which replaces the module_init()/module_exit() registrations with template functions. This macro use the same idea of module_platform_driver(). This macro is useful to stop the misuse of module_platform_driver() for removing the platform_driver_probe() boilerplate.

2012-11-20ACPI / platform: Initialize ACPI handles of platform devices in advanceRafael J. Wysocki
The current platform device creation and registration code in acpi_create_platform_device() is quite convoluted. This function takes an ACPI device node as an argument and eventually calls platform_device_register_resndata() to create and register a platform device object on the basis of the information contained in that code. However, it doesn't associate the new platform device with the ACPI node directly, but instead it relies on acpi_platform_notify(), called from within device_add(), to find that ACPI node again with the help of acpi_platform_find_device() and acpi_platform_match() and then attach the new platform device to it. This causes an additional ACPI namespace walk to happen and is clearly suboptimal. Use the observation that it is now possible to initialize the ACPI handle of a device before calling device_add() for it to make this code more straightforward. Namely, add a new field to struct platform_device_info allowing us to pass the ACPI handle of interest to platform_device_register_full(), which will then use it to initialize the new device's ACPI handle before registering it. This will cause acpi_platform_notify() to use the ACPI handle from the device structure directly instead of using the .find_device() routine provided by the device's bus type. In consequence, acpi_platform_bus, acpi_platform_find_device(), and acpi_platform_match() are not necessary any more, so remove them. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-08-16platform: Add support for automatic device IDsJean Delvare
Right now we have support for explicit platform device IDs, as well as ID-less platform devices when a given device type can only have one instance. However there are cases where multiple instances of a device type can exist, and their IDs aren't (and can't be) known in advance and do not matter. In that case we need automatic device IDs to avoid device name collisions. I am using magic ID value -2 (PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO) for this, similar to -1 for ID-less devices. The automatically allocated device IDs are global (to avoid an additional per-driver cost.) We keep note that the ID was automatically allocated so that it can be freed later. Note that we also restore the ID to PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO on error and device deletion, to avoid avoid unexpected behavior on retry. I don't really expect retries on platform device addition, but better safe than sorry. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2011-11-17drivercore: Generalize module_platform_driverLars-Peter Clausen
This patch generalizes the module_platform_driver macro and introduces a new module_driver macro. The module_driver macro takes a driver name, a register and a unregister function for this driver type. Using these it construct the module init and exit sections which register and unregister the driver. Since such init/exit sections are commonly found in drivers this macro can be used to eliminate a lot of boilerplate code. The macro is not intended to be used by driver modules directly, instead it should be used to generate bus specific macros for registering drivers like the module_platform_driver macro.

2010-10-22driver core: platform_bus: allow runtime override of dev_pm_opsKevin Hilman
Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary. Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the dev_pm_ops methods at runtime. NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH & sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed. Tested on OMAP3.

2009-07-21Driver Core: Add platform device arch data V3Magnus Damm
Allow architecture specific data in struct platform_device V3. With this patch struct pdev_archdata is added to struct platform_device, similar to struct dev_archdata in found in struct device. Useful for architecture code that needs to keep extra data associated with each platform device. Struct pdev_archdata is different from dev.platform_data, the convention is that dev.platform_data points to driver-specific data. It may or may not be required by the driver. The format of this depends on driver but is the same across architectures. The structure pdev_archdata is a place for architecture specific data. This data is handled by architecture specific code (for example runtime PM), and since it is architecture specific it should _never_ be touched by device driver code. Exactly like struct dev_archdata but for platform devices.

Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data.

2009-04-16Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm
V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

2009-03-24platform: introduce module id table for platform devicesEric Miao
Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough. However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across a family of processors, even products from different companies. This makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or simply not straight-forward. Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data'). Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is defined. To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

This defines a new platform_driver_probe() method allowing the driver's probe() method, and its support code+data, to safely live in __init sections for typical system configurations. Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver. That's memory which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after system startup, yet can not be removed. It can't be removed because of the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally, probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables) after those pointers would be invalid.
