Re: [PATCH 08/12] fsl/fman: Add Frame Manager support

[Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl>]

You should note that I started with scanning this patch for basic, say,
build system issues. Which I did find. But then I kept spotting all kind
of oddities. After a while I stopped looking closely. So, to note
something, I haven't yet looked into the 24 symbols this series exports.
There might be a reason for all 24 of them, but I just thought it a bit
suspect.

But, anyhow, my guess is this series needs a close look or two before
the people understanding ethernet drivers (I'm not one of them) will
consider reviewing it for more substantial issues.

This dependency is already provided through "if FSL_MAN" above.

There's no need to tell us that.

I think this is always defined (I already deleted that part of the
patch, so perhaps I'm missing some subtle issue).

Ditto. I'll stop checking for this stuff now. Please clean them up (or
show me that I'm wrong).

I know little about kerneldoc, but this is not kerneldoc, right?

Ditto.

There must be a nicer way than to put a #define just before the local
variables.

Aren't there any global #defines that already do (something like) this?

Why do you wrap kfree() here?

include/linux/module.h reads (summarized):
    #ifdef MODULE
    #define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name)                                 \
    extern const typeof(name) __mod_##type##__##name##_device_table         \
      __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))
    #else  /* !MODULE */
    #define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name)
    #endif

So please drop the #ifndef wrapper.

And p_fm_drv is unused in the function (and see below).

How can p_fm_drv be NULL if fm_load() succeeded? If think that variable
isn't needed at all.

And by the way: p_, because it's a pointer? Don't do that, that's
silly.

FSL_FMAN is bool (see 7/12) and fm_drv.o can only be built-in, as far as
I could (quickly) see. But the code is using a few module specific
constructs. Was FSL_FMAN perhaps meant to be tristate?

Thanks,
