From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: swarren@wwwdotorg.org (Stephen Warren) Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2013 15:06:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mfd: always assign of_node in mfd_add_device() Message-ID: <1386626809-6251-1-git-send-email-swarren@wwwdotorg.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Stephen Warren mfd_add_device() assigns .of_node in the device objects it creates only if the mfd_cell for the device has the .of_compatible field set and the DT node for the top-level MFD device contains a child whose compatible property matches the cell's .of_compatible field. This leaves .of_node unset in many cases. When this happens, entries in the DT /aliases property which refer to the top-level MFD DT node will never match the MFD child devices, hence causing the requested alias not to be honored. Solve this by setting each MFD child device's .of_node equal to the top- level MFD device's .of_node field in the cases where it would otherwise remain unset. The first use-case for this will be aliases for the TPS6586x's RTC device. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren --- The 3 patches in this series are all independent; they can be applied to their respective subsystems in any order. I'm simply posting them as a series to make the use-case more obvious. --- drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c b/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c index 267649244737..32e8d47d9002 100644 --- a/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c +++ b/drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c @@ -117,6 +117,8 @@ static int mfd_add_device(struct device *parent, int id, } } } + if (!pdev->dev.of_node) + pdev->dev.of_node = parent->of_node; if (cell->pdata_size) { ret = platform_device_add_data(pdev, -- 1.8.1.5
