Driver core: coding style fixes

2008-01-25T06:50:12Z

Fix up a number of coding style issues in the drivers/base/ directory that have annoyed me over the years. checkpatch.pl is now very happy. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: fix build with SYSFS=n

2008-01-25T04:40:42Z

When SYSFS=n and MODULES=y, build ends with: linux-2.6.24-rc6-mm1/drivers/base/module.c: In function 'module_add_driver': linux-2.6.24-rc6-mm1/drivers/base/module.c:49: error: 'module_kset' undeclared (first use in this function) make[3]: *** [drivers/base/module.o] Error 1 Below is one possible fix. Build-tested with all 4 config combinations of SYSFS & MODULES. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: use LIST_HEAD instead of call to INIT_LIST_HEAD in __init

2008-01-25T04:40:41Z

LIST_HEAD has been widely used, so switch to this simpler method. Signed-off-by: Denis Cheng Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: move the static kobject out of struct driver

2008-01-25T04:40:35Z

This patch removes the kobject, and a few other driver-core-only fields out of struct driver and into the driver core only. Now drivers can be safely create on the stack or statically (like they currently are.) Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: move the driver specific module code into the driver core

2008-01-25T04:40:35Z

The module driver specific code should belong in the driver core, not in the kernel/ directory. So move this code. This is done in preparation for some struct device_driver rework that should be confined to the driver core code only. This also lets us keep from exporting these functions, as no external code should ever be calling it. Thanks to Andrew Morton for the !CONFIG_MODULES fix. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: remove fields from struct bus_type

2008-01-25T04:40:33Z

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access. Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kset: convert /sys/devices to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:15Z

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. We also rename devices_subsys to devices_kset to catch all users of the variable. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: remove get_bus()

2007-10-12T21:51:02Z

get_bus() should not be globally visable as it is not used by anything other than drivers/base/bus.c. This patch removes the visability of it, and renames it to match all of the other *_get() functions in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: remove put_bus()

2007-10-12T21:51:02Z

put_bus() should not be globally visable as it is not used by anything other than drivers/base/bus.c. This patch removes the visability of it, and renames it to match all of the other *_put() functions in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
