The spi_new_device() function fills in the modalias value from a passed in spi_board_info data block. Since it is a pointer copy, the new spi_device remains dependent on the spi_board_info structure after the new spi_device is registered (no other fields in spi_device directly depend on the spi_board_info structure; all of the other data is copied). This causes a problem when dynamically propulating the list of attached SPI devices. For example, in arch/powerpc, the list of SPI devices can be populated from data in the device tree. With the current code, the device tree adapter must kmalloc() a new spi_board_info structure for each new SPI device it finds in the device tree, and there is no simple mechanism in place for keeping track of these allocations. This patch changes modalias from a 'const char *' to a fixed char array. By copying the modalias string instead of referencing it, the dependency on the spi_board_info structure is eliminated and an outside caller does not need to maintain a separate spi_board_info allocation for each device. If searched through the code to the best of my ability for any references to modalias which may be affected by this change and haven't found anything. It has been tested with the lite5200b platform in arch/powerpc.

If the driver needs to add extra data to the spi_device before it is registered, then this causes problems. This is needed for OF device tree support so that the SPI device tree helper can add a pointer to the device node after the device is allocated, but before the device is registered. OF aware SPI devices can then retrieve data out of the device node to populate a platform data structure. This patch splits the allocation and registration portions of code out of spi_new_device() and creates two new functions; spi_alloc_device() and spi_register_device(). spi_new_device() is modified to use the new functions for allocation and registration. None of the existing users of spi_new_device() should be affected by this change. Drivers using the new API can forego the use of spi_board_info structure to describe the device layout and populate data into the spi_device structure directly. This change is in preparation for adding an OF device tree parser to generate spi_devices based on data in the device tree.
