Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] tlclk: convert to use faux_device
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2025 18:38:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025020624-catlike-delay-fbf5@gregkh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025020620-skedaddle-olympics-1735@gregkh>
The tlclk driver does not need to create a platform device, it only did
so because it was simple to do that in order to get a place in sysfs to
hang some device-specific attributes. Change it over to use the faux
device instead as this is NOT a real platform device, and it makes the
code even smaller than before.

v3: new patch in the series. For an example of the api working, does
not have to be merged at this time, but I can take it if the
maintainers give an ack.
