Subject: [PATCH] of: use platform_device_add
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:15:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1353521759-28263-1-git-send-email-grant.likely@secretlab.ca> (raw)

This allows platform_device_add a chance to call insert_resource on all
of the resources from OF. At a minimum this fills in proc/iomem and
presumably makes resource tracking and conflict detection work better.
However, it has the side effect of moving all OF generated platform
devices from /sys/devices to /sys/devices/platform/. It /shouldn't/
break userspace because userspace is not supposed to depend on the full
path (because userspace always does what it is supposed to, right?).

It also has a backup call to of_device_add() when running on PowerPC to
catch any devices that have overlapping regions. It will complain about
them, but it will not fail to register the device.

Greg, do you mind taking a look at this? The reason the OF code hasn't been
calling platform_device_add() directly to this point is:
a) there are some trees with resource overlays
b) I want the devices in /sys/devices not /sys/devices/platform.

I could easily add exceptions to platform_device_add() for both those cases, but
I don't like adding DT exceptions to the common code. However, I still need to
support the platforms that unfortunately have overlapping resources. This patch
does that by still calling the old path if platform_device_add() fails, but it
isn't nice either because of_device_add() has to duplicate
platform_device_add(). Blech. Plus the exception only applies for PowerPC.

So, how do you feel about having a 'relaxed' mode for platform_device_add()
which means it won't fail if resources overlap and maybe won't do the silly
platform_bus parent thing. Thoughts?
