driver-core: document ERR_PTR() return values

2010-03-19T14:12:21Z

A number of functions in the driver core return ERR_PTR() values on error. Document this in the kernel-doc of the functions. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: Early platform kernel-doc update

2010-03-19T14:12:16Z

This patch updates the kernel-doc notation for early platform functions. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: Fix first line of kernel-doc for a few functions

2010-03-08T01:04:51Z

The function name must be followed by a space, hypen, space, and a short description. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: make struct platform_driver.id_table const

This fixes a warning on several pxa based machines: arch/arm/mach-pxa/ssp.c:475: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Acked-by: Vikram Dhillon Acked-by: Eric Miao Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: add platform_create_bundle() helper

2010-03-08T01:04:46Z

Many legacy-style module create singleton platform devices themselves, along with corresponding platform driver. Instead of replicating error handling code in all such drivers, provide a helper that allocates and registers a single platform device and a driver and binds them together.

Driver core: export platform_device_register_data as a GPL symbol

2009-12-23T19:23:44Z

This allows MFD's to register/bind drivers for their sub devices while still being compiled as a module. Signed-off-by: Michael Hennerich Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver Core: Early platform driver buffer

2009-12-11T19:24:55Z

Add early_platform_init_buffer() support and update the early platform driver code to allow passing parameters to the driver on the kernel command line. early_platform_init_buffer() simply allows early platform drivers to provide a pointer and length to a memory area where the remaining part of the kernel command line option will be stored. Needed to pass baud rate and other serial port options to the reworked early serial console code on SuperH. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfs

2009-10-30T21:59:51Z

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.

driver core: platform_device_add_data(): use kmemdup()

Instead of open-coding it. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM: Run-time PM platform device bus support

2009-08-22T22:05:31Z

This patch adds default Runtime PM callbacks to the dev_pm_ops belonging to the platform bus. The callbacks are weak symbols that architecture specific code can override. Allows Runtime PM even though CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=n. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
