device property: Allow secondary lookup in fwnode_get_next_child_node()

2026-03-19T15:08:34+00:00

commit 2692c614f8f05929d692b3dbfd3faef1f00fbaf0 upstream. When device_get_child_node_count() got split to the fwnode and device respective APIs, the fwnode didn't inherit the ability to traverse over the secondary fwnode. Hence any user, that switches from device to fwnode API misses this feature. In particular, this was revealed by the commit 1490cbb9dbfd ("device property: Split fwnode_get_child_node_count()") that effectively broke the GPIO enumeration on Intel Galileo boards. Fix this by moving the secondary lookup from device to fwnode API. Note, in general no device_*() API should go into the depth of the fwnode implementation.

ACPI: Add support for nargs_prop in acpi_fwnode_get_reference_args()

2025-09-26T01:48:47+00:00

Currently, ACPI does not support the use of a nargs_prop (e.g., associated with a reference in fwnode_property_get_reference_args(). Instead, ACPI expects the number of arguments (nargs) to be explicitly passed or known. This behavior diverges from Open Firmware (OF), which allows the use of a #*-cells property in the referenced node to determine the number of arguments. Since fwnode_property_get_reference_args() is a common interface used across both OF and ACPI firmware paradigms, it is desirable to have a unified calling convention that works seamlessly for both. Add the support for ACPI to parse a nargs_prop from the referenced fwnode, aligning its behavior with the OF backend. This allows drivers and subsystems using fwnode_property_get_reference_args() to work in a firmware-agnostic way without having to hardcode or special-case argument counts for ACPI.

property: Add functions to iterate named child

2025-04-22T18:09:52+00:00

There are a few use-cases where child nodes with a specific name need to be parsed. Code like: fwnode_for_each_child_node() if (fwnode_name_eq()) ... can be found from a various drivers/subsystems. Adding a macro for this can simplify things a bit. In a few cases the data from the found nodes is later added to an array, which is allocated based on the number of found nodes. One example of such use is the IIO subsystem's ADC channel nodes, where the relevant nodes are named as channel[@N]. Add helpers for iterating and counting device's sub-nodes with certain name instead of open-coding this in every user.

device property: Split property reading bool and presence test ops

2025-01-13T23:47:29+00:00

The fwnode/device property API currently implement (fwnode|device)_property_read_bool() with (fwnode|device)_property_present(). That does not allow having different behavior depending on the backend. Specifically, the usage of (fwnode|device)_property_read_bool() on non-boolean properties is deprecated on DT. In order to add a warning on this deprecated use, these 2 APIs need separate ops for the backend. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski Acked-by: Rafael J.
