* Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfsDmitry Torokhov2009-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe() routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind' leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

| * PM / Driver Core: Kill dev_pm_ops platform warning for nowMagnus Damm2009-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now, because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right now.

* Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm2009-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* platform: introduce module id table for platform devicesEric Miao2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

* PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devicesRafael J. Wysocki2009-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fix hotplug for legacy platform driversDavid Brownell2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.

* platform: reorder platform_device_delJean Delvare2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In platform_device_del(), we currently delete the device resources first, then we delete the device itself. This causes a (minor) bug to occur when one unregisters a platform device before unregistering its platform driver, and the driver is requesting (in .probe()) and releasing (in .remove()) a resource of the device. The device resources are already gone by the time the driver gets the chance to release the resources it had been requesting, causing an error like: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000000295-0000000000000296> If the platform driver is unregistered first, the problem doesn't occur, as the driver will have the opportunity to release the resources it had requested before the device resources themselves are released. It's a bit odd that unregistering the driver first or the device first doesn't lead to the same result. So I believe that we should delete the device first in platform_device_del(). I've searched the git history and found that it used to be the case before 2.6.8, but was changed here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=96ef7b3689936ee1e64b711511342026a8ce459c > 2004/07/14 16:09:44-07:00 dtor_core > [PATCH] Driver core: Fix OOPS in device_platform_unregister > > Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first > and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there > are no more references to the device it will be freed and > the fucntion will try to access freed memory. However we now have an explicit call to put_device() at the end of platform_device_unregister() so I guess the original problem no longer exists and it is safe to revert that change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] driver core: platform_get_irq*(): return -ENXIO on errorDavid Vrabel2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | platform_get_irq*() cannot return 0 on error as 0 is a valid IRQ on some platforms, return -ENXIO instead. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <dvrabel@arcom.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] Driver Core: Rearrange exports in platform.cDmitry Torokhov2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Driver core: rearrange exports in platform.c The new way is to specify export right after symbol definition. Rearrange exports to follow new style to avoid mixing two styles in one file. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] Allow overlapping resources for platform devicesKumar Gala2006-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap with another device's memory mapped registers. On several PowerPC devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap with one of the ethernet controllers. By switching from request_resource to insert_resource we can register the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we handle its memory mapped registers.

* [DRIVER MODEL] Add platform_driverRussell King2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
