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.

2006-09-25PM: platform_bus and late_suspend/early_resumeDavid Brownell
Teach platform_bus about the new suspend_late/resume_early PM calls, issued with IRQs off. Do we really need sysdev and friends any more, or can janitors start switching its users over to platform_device so we can do a minor code-ectomy?

2006-01-04[PATCH] Driver Core: Add platform_device_del()Dmitry Torokhov
Driver core: add platform_device_del function Having platform_device_del90 allows more straightforward error handling code in drivers registering platform devices. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
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.

2005-11-05[DRIVER MODEL] Improved dynamically allocated platform_device interfaceRussell King
Re-jig the simple platform device support to allow private data to be attached to a platform device, as well as allowing the parent device to be set. Example usage: pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id); if (pdev) { err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources, ARRAY_SIZE(resources)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data, sizeof(platform_data)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add(pdev); } else { err = -ENOMEM; } if (err) platform_device_put(pdev); Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
