driver core: Delete pointless parameter in fwnode_operations.add_links

2020-12-09T18:14:48+00:00

The struct device input to add_links() is not used for anything. So delete it. Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201121020232.908850-18-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Add fw_devlink_parse_fwtree()

2020-12-09T18:10:21+00:00

This function is a wrapper around fwnode_operations.add_links(). This function parses each node in a fwnode tree and create fwnode links for each of those nodes. The information for creating the fwnode links (the supplier and consumer fwnode) is obtained by parsing the properties in each of the fwnodes. This function also ensures that no fwnode is parsed more than once by marking the fwnodes as parsed.

driver core: Redefine the meaning of fwnode_operations.add_links()

2020-12-09T18:10:21+00:00

Change the meaning of fwnode_operations.add_links() to just create fwnode links by parsing the properties of a given fwnode. This patch doesn't actually make any code changes. To keeps things more digestable, the actual functional changes come in later patches in this series.

driver core: Add fwnode link support

2020-12-09T18:10:21+00:00

Add support for creating supplier-consumer links between fwnodes. It is intended for internal use the driver core and generic firmware support code (eg. Device Tree, ACPI), so it is simple by design and the API provided is limited.

driver core: Add fwnode_init()

2020-12-09T18:10:20+00:00

There are multiple locations in the kernel where a struct fwnode_handle is initialized. Add fwnode_init() so that we have one way of initializing a fwnode_handle.

Revert "driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing"

2020-12-09T18:10:20+00:00

This reverts commit 716a7a25969003d82ab738179c3f1068a120ed11. The fw_devlink_pause/resume() APIs added by the commit being reverted were a first cut attempt at optimizing boot time. But these APIs don't fully solve the problem and are very fragile (can only be used for the top level devices being added). This series replaces them with a much better optimization that works for all device additions and also has the benefit of reducing the complexity of the firmware (DT, EFI) specific code and abstracting out common code to driver core.

driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing

2020-05-15T14:34:52+00:00

The amount of time spent parsing fwnodes of devices can become really high if the devices are added in an non-ideal order. Worst case can be O(N^2) when N devices are added. But this can be optimized to O(N) by adding all the devices and then parsing all their fwnodes in one batch. This commit adds fw_devlink_pause() and fw_devlink_resume() to allow doing this.

driver core: Add fw_devlink kernel commandline option

2020-03-04T16:58:48+00:00

fwnode_operations.add_links allows creating device links from information provided by firmware. fwnode_operations.add_links is currently implemented only by OF/devicetree code and a specific case of efi. However, there's nothing preventing ACPI or other firmware types from implementing it. The OF implementation is currently controlled by a kernel commandline parameter called of_devlink. Since this feature is generic isn't limited to OF, add a generic fw_devlink kernel commandline parameter to control this feature across firmware types.

Merge tag 'driver-core-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2019-11-27T19:06:20+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1 There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of the patches in here fall into two buckets: - debugfs api cleanups and fixes - driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over time, it's a long-term project/goal The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro kernel). The big problem turned out to be a lack of dependency information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and quicker than a monolith kernel. All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (68 commits) tracing: Remove unnecessary DEBUG_FS dependency of: property: Add device link support for interrupt-parent, dmas and -gpio(s) debugfs: Fix !DEBUG_FS debugfs_create_automount of: property: Add device link support for "iommu-map" of: property: Fix the semantics of of_is_ancestor_of() i2c: of: Populate fwnode in of_i2c_get_board_info() drivers: base: Fix Kconfig indentation firmware_loader: Fix labels with comma for builtin firmware driver core: Allow device link operations inside sync_state() driver core: platform: Declare ret variable only once cpu-topology: declare parse_acpi_topology in crypto: hisilicon: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions driver core: platform: use the correct callback type for bus_find_device firmware_class: make firmware caching configurable driver core: Clarify documentation for fwnode_operations.add_links() mailbox: tegra: Fix superfluous IRQ error message net: caif: Fix debugfs on 64-bit platforms mac80211: Use debugfs_create_xul() helper media: c8sectpfe: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions of: property: Add device link support for iommus, mboxes and io-channels ...
