2015-08-13Add a matching set of device_ functions for determining mac/phyJeremy Linton
OF has some helper functions for parsing MAC and PHY settings. In cases where the platform is providing this information rather than the device itself, there needs to be similar functions for ACPI. These functions are slightly modified versions of the ones in of_net which can use information provided via DT or ACPI. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-06-15device property: Introduces device_dma_is_coherent()Suthikulpanit, Suravee
Currently, device drivers, which support both OF and ACPI, need to call two separate APIs, of_dma_is_coherent() and acpi_dma_is_coherent()) to determine device coherency attribute. This patch simplifies this process by introducing a new device property API, device_dma_is_coherent(), which calls the appropriate interface based on the booting architecture.

2015-04-03device property: Introduce firmware node type for platform dataRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce data structures and code allowing "built-in" properties to be associated with devices in such a way that they will be used by the device_property_* API if no proper firmware node (neither DT nor ACPI) is present for the given device. Each property is to be represented by a property_entry structure. An array of property_entry structures (terminated with a null entry) can be pointed to by the properties field of struct property_set that can be added as a firmware node to a struct device using device_add_property_set(). That will cause the device_property_* API to use that property_set as the source of properties if the given device does not have a DT node or an ACPI companion device object associated with it.

2015-03-16driver core / ACPI: Represent ACPI companions using fwnode_handleRafael J. Wysocki
Now that we have struct fwnode_handle, we can use that to point to ACPI companions from struct device objects instead of pointing to struct acpi_device directly. There are two benefits from that. First, the somewhat ugly and hackish struct acpi_dev_node can be dropped and, second, the same struct fwnode_handle pointer can be used in the future to point to other (non-ACPI) firmware device node types.

2014-11-04Driver core: Unified interface for firmware node propertiesRafael J. Wysocki
Add new generic routines are provided for retrieving properties from device description objects in the platform firmware in case there are no struct device objects for them (either those objects have not been created yet or they do not exist at all). The following functions are provided: fwnode_property_present() fwnode_property_read_u8() fwnode_property_read_u16() fwnode_property_read_u32() fwnode_property_read_u64() fwnode_property_read_string() fwnode_property_read_u8_array() fwnode_property_read_u16_array() fwnode_property_read_u32_array() fwnode_property_read_u64_array() fwnode_property_read_string_array() in analogy with the corresponding functions for struct device added previously. For all of them, the first argument is a pointer to struct fwnode_handle (new type) that allows a device description object (depending on what platform firmware interface is in use) to be obtained. Add a new macro device_for_each_child_node() for iterating over the children of the device description object associated with a given device and a new function device_get_child_node_count() returning the number of a given device's child nodes. The interface covers both ACPI and Device Trees.

2014-11-04Driver core: Unified device properties interface for platform firmwareRafael J. Wysocki
Add a uniform interface by which device drivers can request device properties from the platform firmware by providing a property name and the corresponding data type. The purpose of it is to help to write portable code that won't depend on any particular platform firmware interface. The following general helper functions are added: device_property_present() device_property_read_u8() device_property_read_u16() device_property_read_u32() device_property_read_u64() device_property_read_string() device_property_read_u8_array() device_property_read_u16_array() device_property_read_u32_array() device_property_read_u64_array() device_property_read_string_array() The first one allows the caller to check if the given property is present. The next 5 of them allow single-valued properties of various types to be retrieved in a uniform way. The remaining 5 are for reading properties with multiple values (arrays of either numbers or strings). The interface covers both ACPI and Device Trees.
