From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: kim.phillips@arm.com (Kim Phillips) Date: Tue, 8 May 2018 14:06:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] amba: Export amba_bustype Message-ID: <20180508140628.f30774c70c4c481bff3f8000@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This patch is provided in the context of allowing the Coresight driver subsystem to be loaded as modules. Coresight uses amba_bus in its call to bus_find_device() in of_coresight_get_endpoint_device() when searching for a configurable endpoint device. This patch allows Coresight to reference amba_bustype when built as a module.

Coresight uses amba_bus in its call to bus_find_device() here: https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/linux/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/of_coresight.c#L51 Grepping for bus_type and EXPORT shows other busses exporting their type, so I don't think this is the wrong approach. If, OTOH, Coresight needs to do something differently, please comment. drivers/amba/bus.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/amba/bus.c b/drivers/amba/bus.c index 594c228d2f02..12283bd06733 100644 --- a/drivers/amba/bus.c +++ b/drivers/amba/bus.c @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ struct bus_type amba_bustype = { .pm = &amba_pm, .force_dma = true, }; +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(amba_bustype); static int __init amba_init(void) { -- 2.16.2
