From d8bf254089a6c31d7d01a4d1d2f1861662900855 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Baryshkov Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:41:40 -0700 Subject: platform: add new device registration helper Add a helper that registers simple platform_device w/o resources but with parent and device data. This is usefull to cleanup platform code from code that registers such simple devices as leds-gpio, generic-bl, etc. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Baryshkov Cc: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/base/platform.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 47 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/base') diff --git a/drivers/base/platform.c b/drivers/base/platform.c index e621dade7ea..9e60f7c739c 100644 --- a/drivers/base/platform.c +++ b/drivers/base/platform.c @@ -391,6 +391,53 @@ error: } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_register_simple); +/** + * platform_device_register_data + * @parent: parent device for the device we're adding + * @name: base name of the device we're adding + * @id: instance id + * @data: platform specific data for this platform device + * @size: size of platform specific data + * + * This function creates a simple platform device that requires minimal + * resource and memory management.
