Mea culpa.  The patch below fixes a bug I introduced earlier.
Cc'ing the sparc folks, as this probably affects them
(although I would think that it fixes broken behavior for them..?)





From: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net>

Commit e2f2a93b changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to
using package-to-path.  This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by
eliminating conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides
names like 'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like
'/foo/bar/battery@0', which we stripped to 'battery@0').  However,
it also breaks of_device_id table matching.

The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon
the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon
package-to-path ('battery@0').  This patch does just that.

And this is a followup to the prior patch; an optimization based
upon what we're doing with pkg2path stuff.

The sparc folks don't use pkg2path, so this shouldn't affect them at
all.

Cc'ing Mitch as well, in case there's some reason why I should be
wary of doing this.  :)




From: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net>

The of_pdt_try_pkg2path() function currently allocates memory for
and fetches the full path name from OFW (of the form '/foo/bar/baz@0').
It then returns only the name ('baz@0)', and the caller re-constructs
the full name (for dp->full_name) based upon dp->parent->full_name and
what was returned by of_pdt_try_pkg2path().  Oh, and it allocates more
memory for it.

OLPC is the only architecture which fills in the pkg2path hook, so
this shouldn't affect any other users (ie, sparc).  Since in practice
(dp->parent->full_name + '/' + strrchr(pkg2path, '/')) and the result
from pkg2path end up being exactly the same, just short circuit the rest
of the of_pdt_build_full_name logic and set dp->full_name to the result
of pkg2path.  This means we don't have to parse it nor allocate more
memory for it.

This saves time, code, and memory.

Wait; why are you binding to a device based on name?  Binding by name
and/or device_type is strongly discouraged for new code.  Use compatible
instead.

As for this patch, comments below...

From what I can tell, this only affects OLPC, correct?  It looks like
SPARC's implementation of of_pdt_node_name() will sidestep most of this
name retrieval code.

Rather than using this hook; perhaps the sparc .path_component_name
should be enabled for all architectures.  It is a useful data item to
keep a pointer to, and it would simplify the of_pdt code.

Rather than this thrashing about looking for a way to get the path
component, it should be fairly certain how to obtain the node's name
before getting into of_pdt_build_full_name().  I'd follow SPARC's
lead and create an implementation of build_path_component();

However, considering that this is creating the full name; wouldn't the
raw output of pkg2path() provide exactly the full name string you need
here instead of breaking it down into components and adding it back up
again?

Ah, this addresses one of the comments I just made on the first patch.
I'd squash the two patches together before you repost.

Daniel posted a separate patch showing his code, would you mind
commenting on that?  I noticed he didn't cc you though, here's the
patch:

This affects sparc as well; it changes behavior back for dp->name to
what it used to be.  dp->full_name behavior is still the same for sparc.

Yeah, I considered that, but pkg2path works even better for our
purposes.


I'll combine patches and resend, thanks.

It does bind to the name.
We don't currently have a compatible property for the battery device.
We could fix that with a firmware upgrade, but it would break
compatibility with all existing installs. I guess this is still the
recommended approach...

Hi Daniel,

As mentioned in my reply to your patch, the solution to this is fix up
the missing compatible property in the board support code before it
pollutes the global matching namespace.
