[PATCH v3 0/5] using uio_pdrv_genirq without module param

[PATCH v3 0/5] using uio_pdrv_genirq without module param

[Chris Packham]

I found myself about to add a driver that was a sub-optimal clone of
uio_pdrv_genirq the only difference was that I didn't want to modify the args
passed to the kernel by my bootloader. If uio_pdrv_genirq had a default
of_match entry I could simply use that. This series attempts to implement this.

I wonder if it is worth having a catch-all compat string for this driver
"generic-dev" or something. People seem to be ok with spidev not having any
such fallback so perhaps there is no-need (other than the 2 devices I want to
support with userspace drivers).

Changes in v2:
- added a better commit message to 1/2
- remove bogus checkpatch fix in 2/2

Changes in v3:
- As suggested by Rob document the bindings for the hardware and treat
  uio_pdrv_genirq.c as one potential implementer of a compatible driver.
  Following the model used by spidev.c
- Patches 1-3 replace patch 1 from v2 of this series
- Patches 4-5 replace patch 2 from v2

This document is a how to use the UIO driver, not a DT binding. Using 
UIO versus a proper kernel driver is purely a kernel decision that has 
nothing to do with DT.

[PATCH v3 2/5] uio: dt-bindings: Add binding for "st,stm32f100"

[Chris Packham]

The stm32f100 is a general purpose micro controller. Document a binding
that allows a user-space driver to be implemented for these devices.

Changes in v3:
- (replaces "uio: dt-bindings: document binding for uio-pdrv-genirq")
- split the bindings up into the devices I'm actually wanting to support. The
  first is a stm32f100 micro controller.

It may be general purpose, but how it is hooked up to the host is not 
and probably could be done in a variety of ways. I'd expect that to be 
described in a binding doc (that's not a suggestion to add it to this 
doc as I'm fundamentally against any binding with "UIO" in it).

Also, while the processor itself is general purpose, typically its 
function on a given board would not be except maybe on dev boards. It's 
that function (a combination of the uC and its firmware) which we want 
to describe to the host OS. There's already examples of uC used as PMICs 
or system controllers.

[PATCH v3 3/5] uio: dt-bindings: Add binding for "marvell,88e2040"

[Chris Packham]

The marvell,88e2040 is a N-BaseT Ethernet PHY which requires a userspace
driver. The only kernel presence is an interrupt handler which
uio_pdrv_genirq can provide.
