[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: remove restriction on platform_device

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi all,

This patch series removes the restriction in DSA to operate exclusively with
platform_device Ethernet MAC drivers when using Device Tree. This basically
allows arbitrary Ethernet MAC drivers to be used now in conjunction with
Device Tree.

The reason was that DSA was using a of_find_device_by_node() which limits
the device_node to device pointer search exclusively to platform_device,
in our case, we are interested in doing a "class" research and lookup the
net_device.

Thanks to Chris Packham for testing this on his platform.

[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: core: add of_find_net_device_by_node()

[Florian Fainelli]

Add a helper function which allows getting the struct net_device pointer
associated with a given struct device_node pointer. This is useful for
instance for DSA Ethernet devices not backed by a platform_device, but a PCI
device.

Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of
net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated
with CONFIG_OF_NET.

Network devices initialized with SET_NETDEV_DEV() are also taken into
account by checking for dev->parent first and then falling back to
checking the device pointer within struct net_device.

; after } is unusual, and you need to add ; after NULL to get this to compile.

	return ret ? : dev->of_node == data;

but that is really a matter of personal preference.

Good catch, thanks, I can't pretend I compiled the !OF_NET case, can I?

I kind of prefer treating the positive case as explicit, but either way
is fine.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: dsa: utilize of_find_net_device_by_node

[Florian Fainelli]

Using of_find_device_by_node() restricts the search to platform_device that
match the specified device_node pointer. This is not even remotely true for
network devices backed by a pci_device for instance.

of_find_net_device_by_node() allows us to do a more thorough lookup to find the
struct net_device corresponding to a particular device_node pointer.

For symetry with the non-OF code path, we hold the net_device pointer in
dsa_probe() just like what dev_to_net_dev() does when we call this
function.

Looks like there is a V2 coming of this series based upon feedback.
