Subject: [PATCH v5] drm/vgem/vgem_drv convert to use faux_device
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2025 12:51:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025070114-iron-shiny-b92e@gregkh> (raw)
The vgem driver does not need to create a platform device, as there is
no real platform resources associated it, it only did so because it was
simple to do that in order to get a device to use for resource
management of drm resources. Change the driver to use the faux device
instead as this is NOT a real platform device.

v5: - rebased against 6.16-rc4 and resent as it seems to have been lost
v4: - api tweaked due to parent pointer added to faux_device create
function.
v3: - new patch in the series. For an example of the api working, does
not have to be merged at this time, but I can take it if the
maintainers give an ack.
