[PATCH 0/6] use devicemodel with parport

[Sudip Mukherjee]

After 5 versions of WIP, finally a patch submission.
parport subsystem is now in the transition stage and supports the old
model and the new device model. 3 of the drivers have been converted
into new model and tested.
After other drivers are converted we can remove the old code from
parport.

Sudip Mukherjee (6):
  parport: add device-model to parport subsystem
  staging: panel: use new parport device model
  i2c-parport: define ports to connect
  i2c-parport: use new parport device model
  paride: use new parport device model
  MAINTAINERS: maintain parport

[PATCH 1/6] parport: add device-model to parport subsystem

[Sudip Mukherjee]

parport subsystem starts using the device-model. Drivers using the
device-model has to define devmodel as true and should register the
device with parport using parport_register_dev_model().

patch:	renaming of cnt and one label, added one comment.
	instead of probe check for devmodel. Define a default probe.
       	No change in core functionality.

v5:
	a) addition/removal of ports are now handled.
	b) is_parport moved to the core level
	c) common parport_driver_register code
	d) parport_register_dev_model now accepts instance number.

v4:	use of is_parport() is introduced to check the type of device
	that has been passed to probe or match_port.

v3:	started use of parport_del_port(). previously it was creating
	some ghost parallel ports during port probing.
	parport_del_port() removes registered ports if probing has
	failed.

v2:	started using probe function. Without probe,whenever any driver
	is trying to register, it is getting bound to all the available
	parallel ports. To solve that probe was required.
	Now the driver is binding only to the device it has registered.
	And that device will appear as a subdevice of the particular
	parallel port it wants to use.

	In v1 Greg mentioned that we do not need to maintain our own
	list. That has been partially done. we are no longer maintaining
	the list of drivers. But we still need to maintain the list of
	ports and devices as that will be used by drivers which are not
	yet converted to device model. When all drivers are converted
	to use the device-model parallel port all these lists can be
	removed.

[PATCH 1/6] parport: add device-model to parport subsystem

[Sudip Mukherjee]

parport subsystem starts using the device-model. Drivers using the
device-model has to define devmodel as true and should register the
device with parport using parport_register_dev_model().

patch:	renaming of cnt and one label, added one comment.
	instead of probe check for devmodel. Define a default probe.
       	No change in core functionality.

v5:
	a) addition/removal of ports are now handled.
	b) is_parport moved to the core level
	c) common parport_driver_register code
	d) parport_register_dev_model now accepts instance number.

v4:	use of is_parport() is introduced to check the type of device
	that has been passed to probe or match_port.

v3:	started use of parport_del_port(). previously it was creating
	some ghost parallel ports during port probing.
	parport_del_port() removes registered ports if probing has
	failed.

v2:	started using probe function. Without probe,whenever any driver
	is trying to register, it is getting bound to all the available
	parallel ports. To solve that probe was required.
	Now the driver is binding only to the device it has registered.
	And that device will appear as a subdevice of the particular
	parallel port it wants to use.

	In v1 Greg mentioned that we do not need to maintain our own
	list. That has been partially done. we are no longer maintaining
	the list of drivers. But we still need to maintain the list of
	ports and devices as that will be used by drivers which are not
	yet converted to device model. When all drivers are converted
	to use the device-model parallel port all these lists can be
	removed.

[PATCH 2/6] staging: panel: use new parport device model

[Sudip Mukherjee]

Converted to use the new device-model parallel port.

Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip@vectorindia.org>

The comment about panel_cb.flags can be removed, it is kept just
for the comment to remind us that it might be better to use
PARPORT_DEV_EXCL.

Minor nit: I prefer to not use tabs but a single space after the struct
member names. Less hazzle in the future and still readable IMO.

It was having space originally. I changed that into tab as it was
looking good with them as aligned.
I will wait today for some more review and send v2 tomorrow with this

As the driver maintainer, I am fine with both unaligned or tab-aligned.
Space-aligned as I did originally was not a good idea, I admit.

As the driver maintainer, I am fine with both unaligned or tab-aligned.
Space-aligned as I did originally was not a good idea, I admit.

Perhaps space aligned declarations should have some
checkpatch --strict warning for 2 or more spaces
around any assignment of the declaration.

	int a   = 1;		// 2+ spaces before =
	int b	=  2;		// 2+ spaces after =
	int c	=	3;	// uses tabs around =, no warning
	int d		= 4;	// uses 2 tabs before =, no warning
	
Something like:

FWIW, in my own code I've stopped using tabs for this and replaced
them with spaces. Tabs are fine *before* code but they completely
mangle the display for people using different tab sizes, or even
when reading diffs, because they heavily depend on the number of
characters *before* them while what you want is to ensure that
what is *after* is on a fixed position.

I would even go further and report warnings when tabs are used after
text.

Tabs after text were very useful in ASM editors in the past because
it was possible to define 3 fixed positions (mnemonic, operands,
comments) and that was the primary purpose of tabs. But in todays
editors, tabs do not mean "jump to next position" but "add between
1 and 8 to the current position" which doesn't make sense at all
if what preceeds can be larger than 8 (which is most often the case
in C code).

Excuse me, but usually someone takes over the maintainer role after
proving that he
cares for a sub system for a certain period of time.
Or did I miss something?

MAINTAINERS:85:    Orphan:      No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
MAINTAINERS-86-                 role as you write your new code].

Parport is an orphan, hasn't had a maintainer since at
least 2.6.12, and has almost no activity minus drive-by
cleanups and new device ID support every once in awhile.

Sudip is writing new code.

If Sudip wants to be a maintainer of parport, assuming
he has the time and resources to give it a go, I think
he should be welcomed to it.

Thanks Sudip.  Best of luck...

Thanks Joe & Alan for the support. I consider myself inexperienced
to maintain a subsystem, but I hope you all will be there to review
and help me in the process.

It currently (and for some time) has had no maintainer so having a
maintainer is IMHO definitely an improvement in things.

Having a maintainer is good.
All I wanted to point out was that it is IMHO uncommon to claim maintainership
before being the main contributor or the de facto maintainer of a
subsystem.

This "rule" prevents us from "Mommy!!! Look, I'm a maintainer!!!1" patches. ;-)

I already have my name in the MAINTAINERS file, so that is not a cookie
to cry for.
Personnaly I will prefer Joe Perches or Dan Carpenter to be the maintainer.
They have reviewed many of my patches since I started contributing here and
I have learnt and still learning many things from them.
if this patch is a debatable topic, then lets drop it. I have written these
changes, and will write the next changes also, it doesnot matter if my name
is there in the MAINTAINERS or not.
The main reason I gave this patch is just because if any problem
(read as regression) arises due to these changes then those problem mails
would have directly come to my inbox.

Sudip has been volunteering for fixing this code which is marked
as "orphan". So whatever his experience and care in this area,
it will be better for the driver to have a maintainer than none.

Good luck Sudip, as drivers which have become orphans are probably
the ones that deserve the least love :-)

I agree.  I've been "baby-sitting" this subsystem for a long time now.
If Sudip wants to take it on, and based on his recent patches it looks
like he does, I'm all for him to be the maintainer of it.  So this patch
in the series is fine with me, I'll apply it when the rest of this
series gets merged.

thanks,

This looks good, very nice job.

Are you going to continue to fix up the other drivers?  I don't want us
to have a half-converted subsystem in the kernel.

Thanks, but its not me alone. Dan, Jean, Alan has helped me a lot in this.

ofcourse yes. I also donot want to be a maintainer of half converted
subsystem. :)
i am thinking, after it is in the linux-next for a few days and seeing
any effects of these changes I will start with the other drivers.
and after all drivers are converted and that is also in next for sufficient
days I will start with the cleanup of the old codes.
And then there are some pending bugs in bugzilla. I am also planning to
add the code for epst in paride (i saw in many forums that people are
not able to use their scanner on latest kernels).

Sounds like a good plan.

it was part of ppscsi, mainly needed to use HP scanjet 5100C. I had a
short look and it seems like the other parts of ppscsi are already there
in paride, but somehow epst was leftout and Tim says he is not interested
with that code now. And besides paride might get orphaned now, so there is
noone else to re-add that support in the newer kernels. My only hesitation
is that I donot have the scanner to test the code. :(
