of: property: Allow fw_devlink device-tree on x86

2026-04-07T18:09:29+00:00

PCI drivers can use a device-tree overlay to describe the hardware available on the PCI board. This is the case, for instance, of the LAN966x PCI device driver. Adding some more nodes in the device-tree overlay adds some more consumer/supplier relationship between devices instantiated from this overlay. Those fw_node consumer/supplier relationships are handled by fw_devlink and are created based on the device-tree parsing done by the of_fwnode_add_links() function. Those consumer/supplier links are needed in order to ensure a correct PM runtime management and a correct removal order between devices. For instance, without those links a supplier can be removed before its consumers is removed leading to all kind of issue if this consumer still want the use the already removed supplier. The support for the usage of an overlay from a PCI driver has been added on x86 systems in commit 1f340724419ed ("PCI: of: Create device tree PCI host bridge node"). In the past, support for fw_devlink on x86 had been tried but this support has been removed in commit 4a48b66b3f52 ("of: property: Disable fw_devlink DT support for X86"). Indeed, this support was breaking some x86 systems such as OLPC system and the regression was reported in [0]. Instead of disabling this support for all x86 system, use a finer grain and disable this support only for the possible problematic subset of x86 systems (at least OLPC and CE4100). Those systems use a device-tree to describe their hardware. Identify those systems using key properties in the device-tree.

of: property: stop creating callback for each pinctrl-N property

2026-02-04T02:58:10+00:00

While not a lot in the grand scheme of things, this eliminates 8*2 pointless function calls for almost every property present in the device tree (the exception are the few properties that were already matched). It also seems to reduce .text by about 1.5K - why gcc decides to inline parse_prop_cells() in every instantiation I don't know.

of: Warn when of_property_read_bool() is used on non-boolean properties

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

The use of of_property_read_bool() for non-boolean properties is deprecated. The primary use of it was to test property presence, but that has been replaced in favor of of_property_present(). With those uses now fixed, add a warning to discourage new ones.

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.
