[PATCH v1 0/2] hwmon:

[Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)]

Hello,

this series targets to use named initializers for platform_device_id
arrays. In general these are better readable for humans and more robust
to changes in the respective struct definition.

This robustness is needed as I want to do

	diff --git a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	--- a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	+++ b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	@@ -610,4 +610,7 @@ struct dmi_system_id {
	 struct platform_device_id {
		char name[PLATFORM_NAME_SIZE];
	-	kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
	+	union {
	+		kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
	+		const void *driver_data_ptr;
	+	};
	 };

which allows dropping several casts and eases porting CHERI to mainline
linux. A possible follow-up change is the following example:

	diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c

	+	{ .name = "pxa25x-gpio",	.driver_data_ptr = &pxa25x_id },
	+	{ .name = "pxa26x-gpio",	.driver_data_ptr = &pxa26x_id },

	+	{ .name = "pxa1928-gpio",	.driver_data_ptr = &pxa1928_id },
		{ }
	 };
 
increasing readability due to less casting. Also this results in the
compiler warning:

	drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c: In function ‘pxa_gpio_nums’:
	drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c:537:38: error: initialization discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
	  537 |         struct pxa_gpio_id *pxa_id = id->driver_data_ptr;
	      |                                      ^~

which is a good thing as adding the needed const to fix this warning
improves type safety. (There is no hwmon driver that benefits from this
change, so a driver from a different subsystem was used to show the
benefit.)

[PATCH v1 1/2] hwmon: cros_ec: Drop unused assignment of platform_device_id driver data

[Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)]

The driver explicitly set the .driver_data member of struct
platform_device_id to zero without relying on that value. Drop this
unused assignments.

While touching this array unify spacing and use named initializers for
.name.

[PATCH v1 2/2] hwmon: Use named initializers for platform_device_id arrays

[Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)]

Named initializers are better readable and more robust to changes of the
struct definition. This robustness is relevant for a planned change to
struct platform_device_id replacing .driver_data by an anonymous unit.

While touching these arrays usage of commas.

hwmon: Use named initializers for platform_device_id arrays

This commit updates platform_device_id arrays in several hwmon drivers to use
named initializers for better readability and robustness. This prepares the
code for a planned change to struct platform_device_id.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but there is a typo in the description. Did you mean 
"anonymous union" instead of "anonymous unit"?

> While touching these arrays usage of commas.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but this sentence appears to be incomplete. Could the
commit message be updated to clarify the intent regarding trailing commas?

Here is a word missing ------', please add "unify" here if you apply
this version. I fixed that in my tree, so if it comes to a v2 this will
be fixed there, too.
