mfd: Fetch cell pointer from platform_device->mfd_cell

2011-04-12T09:13:00Z

In order for MFD drivers to fetch their cell pointer but also their platform data one, an mfd cell pointer is added to the platform_device structure. That allows all MFD sub devices drivers to be MFD agnostic, unless they really need to access their MFD cell data. Most of them don't, especially the ones for IPs used by both MFD and non MFD SoCs.

PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS

2011-04-11T20:54:42Z

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Tested-by: Shriram Rajagopalan

base/platform: Simplifications for NULL platform data/resources handling

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

There's no need to explicitly check for data and resources being NULL, as platform_device_add_{data,resources}() do this internally nowadays. This makes the code more linear and less indented. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

base/platform: Safe handling for NULL platform data and resources

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

Some users of platform_device_add_{data,resources}() assume that NULL data and resources will be handled specially, i.e. just ignored. But the platform core ends up calling kmemdup(NULL, 0, ...), which returns a non-NULL result (i.e. ZERO_SIZE_PTR), which causes drivers to oops on a valid code, something like: if (platform_data) stuff = platform_data->stuff; This patch makes the platform core a bit more safe for such cases.

driver core: platform_bus: allow runtime override of dev_pm_ops

2010-10-22T17:16:42Z

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary. Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the dev_pm_ops methods at runtime. NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH & sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed. Tested on OMAP3. Cc: Magnus Damm Acked-by: Grant Likely Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: platform: Use drv->driver.bus instead of assuming platform_bus_type

2010-10-22T17:16:42Z

In theory (although not *yet* in practice), a driver being passed to platform_driver_probe might have driver.bus set to something other than platform_bus_type. Locking drv->driver.bus is always correct. Signed-off-by: Patrick Pannuto Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

of/device: Rework to use common platform_device_alloc() for allocating devices

2010-10-21T17:10:10Z

The current code allocates and manages platform_devices created from the device tree manually. It also uses an unsafe shortcut for allocating the platform_device and the resource table at the same time. (which I added in the last rework; sorry). This patch refactors the code to use platform_device_alloc() for allocating new devices. This reduces the amount of custom code implemented by of_platform, eliminates the unsafe alloc trick, and has the side benefit of letting the platform_bus code manage freeing the device data and resources when the device is freed.
