2010-05-21platform_bus: allow custom extensions to system PM methodsKevin Hilman
When runtime PM for platform_bus was added, it allowed for platforms to customize the runtime PM methods since they are defined as weak symbols. This patch allows platforms to also extend the system PM methods with custom hooks so runtime PM and system PM extensions can be managed together by custom platform-specific code.

2010-05-13driver core: Early dev_name() depends on slab_is_available().Paul Mundt
The early dev_name() setup needs to do an allocation which can only be satisfied under slab_is_available() conditions. Some of the early platform drivers may be initialized before this point, and those still need to contend themselves with an empty dev_name. This fixes up a regression with the SH earlyprintk which was bailing out prior to hitting the early probe path due to not being able to satisfy the early allocation. Other early platform drivers (such as the early timers) that need to match the dev name are sufficiently late that allocations are already possible. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-05-10PM / platform_bus: Allow runtime PM by defaultMark Brown
Currently the default runtime PM callbacks for platform devices return -ENOSYS, preventing the use of runtime PM platforms until they have provided at least a default implementation. This hinders the use of runtime PM by devices which work with many platforms such as memory mapped devices, MFDs and on chip IPs shared by multiple architectures. Change the default implementation to the standard pm_generic_runtime one, allowing drivers to use runtime PM without per-architecture changes.

2010-03-10driver core: Early dev_name() support.Paul Mundt
Presently early platform devices suffer from the fact they are unable to use dev_xxx() calls early on due to dev_name() and others being unavailable at the time ->probe() is called. This implements early init_name construction from the matched name/id pair following the semantics of the late device/driver match. As a result, matched IDs (inclusive of requested ones) are preserved when the handoff from the early platform code happens at kobject initialization time. Since we still require kmalloc slabs to be available at this point, using kstrdup() for establishing the init_name works fine. This subsequently needs to be tested from dev_name() prior to the init_name being cleared by the driver core. We don't kfree() since others will already have a handle on the string long before the kobject initialization takes place. This is also needed to permit drivers to use the clock framework early, without having to manually construct their own device IDs from the match id/name pair locally (needed by the early console and timer code on sh and arm).

Commit 783ea7d4eeefe895f2731fe73ac951e94418927b (Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning) added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops. Unfortunately, this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in automatic way, which generally is not a good idea.

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().

2009-01-06PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devicesRafael J. Wysocki
PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devices Following the discussion at the Kernel Summit, simplify the new device PM framework by merging 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' and removing pointers to 'struct pm_ext_ops' from 'struct platform_driver' and 'struct pci_driver'. After this change, the suspend/hibernation callbacks will only reside in 'struct device_driver' as well as at the bus type/ device class/device type level. Accordingly, PCI and platform device drivers are now expected to put their suspend/hibernation callbacks into the 'struct device_driver' embedded in 'struct pci_driver' or 'struct platform_driver', respectively.
