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.

2009-03-24driver core: move platform_data into platform_deviceMing Lei
This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. 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. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
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.

Add a helper that registers simple platform_device w/o resources but with parent and device data.

2007-10-12Driver core: Make platform_device.id an intJean Delvare
While platform_device.id is a u32, platform_device_add() handles "-1" as a special id value. This has potential for confusion and bugs. Making it an int instead should prevent problems from happening in the future. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-12-13Driver core: Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointerScott Wood
platform_device_add_data() makes a copy of the data that is given to it, and thus the parameter can be const. This removes a warning when data from get_property() on powerpc is handed to platform_device_add_data(), as get_property() returns a const pointer.

2006-12-01Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespaceDavid Brownell
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.

2005-11-09[DRIVER MODEL] Add platform_driverRussell King
Introduce struct platform_driver. This allows the platform device driver methods to be passed a platform_device structure instead of instead of a plain device structure, and therefore requiring casting in every platform driver. We introduce this in such a way that any existing platform drivers registered directly via driver_register continue to work as before, thereby allowing a gradual conversion to the new platform_driver methods.
