[PATCH v9 04/39] component: alloc component_match without any comp to match

[PATCH v9 04/39] component: alloc component_match without any comp to match

[Ramalingam C]

If all the components associated to a component master is not added
to the component framework due to the HW capability or Kconfig
selection, component_match will be NULL at
component_master_add_with_match().

To avoid this, component_match_alloc() is added to the framework,
to allcoate the struct component_match with zero associated components.
Hence component master can be added with a component_match with zero
associated components.

This helps the component master bind call to get triggered,
even if no component is registered for that particular master.

This is meant for big PCI device drivers where small/optional
features are external components, and based on usecases different
combination of components are build as entire driver.

In such PCI device driver Load, if we use the component master for
waiting for few  components(features) availability, only if they are
supported by the underlying HW, then we need to allocate memory for
component_match using the API introduced in this change before
the call to component_master_add_with_match.

v2:
  No Change.

Greg, I expect the i915 feature that needs this will only land in 4.22.
I'm also not aware of anyone else using this (all the other component
users always use components). How do you want to get this landed?

I think either getting this into 4.21, or an ack for merging through drm
trees would work well for us.

I have no objection to you taking this through the drm tree.  As I
really do not know the component code at all (that would be Russell
King), feel free to add my:

[PATCH v9 04/39] component: alloc component_match without any comp to match

[Ramalingam C]

If all the components associated to a component master is not added
to the component framework due to the HW capability or Kconfig
selection, component_match will be NULL at
component_master_add_with_match().

To avoid this, component_match_alloc() is added to the framework,
to allcoate the struct component_match with zero associated components.
Hence component master can be added with a component_match with zero
associated components.

This helps the component master bind call to get triggered,
even if no component is registered for that particular master.

This is meant for big PCI device drivers where small/optional
features are external components, and based on usecases different
combination of components are build as entire driver.

In such PCI device driver Load, if we use the component master for
waiting for few  components(features) availability, only if they are
supported by the underlying HW, then we need to allocate memory for
component_match using the API introduced in this change before
the call to component_master_add_with_match.

  No Change.
