sonypi: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL at probe time

2026-05-23T11:47:34+00:00

Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the sonypi driver. Fixes: 7e488b0af021 ("sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one") Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

sonypi: use strscpy() in sonypi_acpi_probe

2026-04-28T16:00:32+00:00

strcpy() has been deprecated¹ because it performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. While the current code works correctly, replace strcpy() with the safer strscpy() to follow secure coding best practices. ¹ https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strcpy Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260424075755.305770-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev Reviewed-by: Ilpo Järvinen Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen

sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one

2026-04-02T15:06:18+00:00

In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of underlying hardware. Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be used by driver code to bind to that device. There are multiple reasons why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1]. Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their ACPI companions, so convert the sonypi ACPI driver to a platform one. While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs layout and so it will be visible to user space.

char: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-11-05T04:33:47+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers matched by the "CHAR and MISC DRIVERS" maintainer's entry to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

sonypi: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2024-04-11T13:27:02+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

ACPI: make remove callback of ACPI driver void

2022-11-23T18:11:22+00:00

For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as: 1 device_remove()-> 2 bus->remove()-> 3 driver->remove() Driver core needs no inform from callee(bus driver) about the result of remove callback. In that case, commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove be void-returned. Now we have the situation that both 1 & 2 of calling chain are void-returned, so it does not make much sense for 3(driver->remove) to return non-void to its caller. So the basic idea behind this change is making remove() callback of any bus-based driver to be void-returned. This change, for itself, is for device drivers based on acpi-bus.
