Subject: [PATCH v4 6/9] tlclk: convert to use faux_device
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:30:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025021028-askew-smashing-4ff9@gregkh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025021023-sandstorm-precise-9f5d@gregkh>
The tlclk driver does not need to create a platform device, it only did
so because it was simple to do that in order to get a place in sysfs to
hang some device-specific attributes. Change it over to use the faux
device instead as this is NOT a real platform device, and it makes the
code even smaller than before.

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.
