Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] firmware: arm_scmi: Always create devices for standard protocols
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 20:08:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902180844.41230-4-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902180844.41230-1-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com>

Protocol driver module auto-loading requires the devices to already be
created for udev to get the necessary uevents based on which udev loads
modules. But SCMI devices are only created after their { protocol, name }
device-id has been added to the requested-devices list which is done from
scmi_driver_register().

This creates a circular dependency where device creation is waiting for
the driver to register and loading the module with the driver is waiting
for the device to be created.

Add a list of standard protocol device-ids and always create devices for
these without relying on these being added to the requested-devices list.

This removes the circular dependency, fixing module auto-loading.

Changes in v5:
- This is a new patch in v5 replacing "Pre-register protocol, name tupples
  for standard protocol". Pre-registering requires
  scmi_protocol_device_request() to allow duplicate device-ids, but then if
  the first driver of two with duplicate devce-ids gets unloaded device
  creation for the second driver will fail. Allowing duplicates causes all
  kinds of problems, so this new approach avoids this.
