Subject: [PATCH 3/4] firmware: arm_ffa: Set the core device as FF-A device parent
Date: Fri, 08 May 2026 18:54:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508-b4-ffa_plat_dev-v1-3-c5a30f8cf7b8@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508-b4-ffa_plat_dev-v1-0-c5a30f8cf7b8@kernel.org>
Pass a parent device into ffa_device_register() and use the synthetic
arm-ffa platform device as the parent for each registered FF-A device.
This keeps the enumerated FF-A partition devices anchored below the FF-A
core device in the driver model, matching the platform-driver conversion
of the core transport.
