From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mohit.kumar@st.com (Mohit Kumar) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:02:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH V2 3/8] ahci: Add a driver_data field to struct ahci_platform_data In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Pratyush Anand Platform functions passed to the driver may also need some private data. Till, now following approaches have been taken to manage these data: -- SPEAr13xx platform keep it locally in the files defining platform functions. -- IMX has created a new ahci platform device as a child of platform device created by DT and then attached this data as the driver_data of ahci's dev->parent. Adding a driver_data field helps in using the same platform driver as that of created by DT.
