Driver core: Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointer

2006-12-13T23:38:46Z

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.

Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespace

2006-12-01T22:52:02Z

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.

PM: platform_bus and late_suspend/early_resume

2006-09-26T04:08:38Z

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?

[PATCH] Driver Core: Fix platform_device_add to use device_add

2006-06-21T19:40:48Z

platform_device_add() should be using device_add() rather than device_register() - any platform device passed to platform_device_add() should have already been initialised, either by platform_device_alloc() or platform_device_register().

[PATCH] driver core: platform_get_irq*(): return -ENXIO on error

2006-03-20T21:42:57Z

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 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver Core: Rearrange exports in platform.c

2006-01-05T00:18:09Z

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 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
