Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] power: reset: Add QEMU virt-ctrl driver
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 17:08:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203170824.2968045-2-visitorckw@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203170824.2968045-1-visitorckw@gmail.com>
Add a new driver for the 'virt-ctrl' device found on QEMU virt machines
(e.g. m68k). This device provides a simple interface for system reset
and power off [1].
This driver utilizes the modern system-off API to register callbacks
for both system restart and power off. It is designed to be generic and
can be reused by other architectures utilizing this QEMU device.

Changes in v2:
- Use devm_register_sys_off_handler() instead of register_restart_handler()
and global pm_power_off.
- Switch Kconfig to tristate to support modular build.
- Add .id_table to platform_driver and use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to correct
module auto-loading.
