2016-07-14dm: core: Expand platdata for of-platdata devicesSimon Glass
Devices which use of-platdata have their own platdata. However, in many cases the driver will have its own auto-alloced platdata, for use with the device tree. The ofdata_to_platdata() method converts the device tree settings to platdata. With of-platdata we would not normally allocate the platdata since it is provided by the U_BOOT_DEVICE() declaration. However this is inconvenient since the of-platdata struct is closely tied to the device tree properties. It is unlikely to exactly match the platdata needed by the driver. In fact a useful approach is to declare platdata in the driver like this: struct r3288_mmc_platdata { struct dtd_rockchip_rk3288_dw_mshc of_platdata; /* the 'normal' fields go here */ }; In this case we have dt_platadata available, but the normal fields are not present, since ofdata_to_platdata() is never called. In fact driver model doesn't allocate any space for the 'normal' fields, since it sees that there is already platform data attached to the device. To make this easier, adjust driver model to allocate the full size of the struct (i.e. platdata_auto_alloc_size from the driver) and copy in the of-platdata. This means that when the driver's bind() method is called, the of-platdata will be present, followed by zero bytes for the empty 'normal field' portion. A new DM_FLAG_OF_PLATDATA flag is available that indicates that the platdata came from of-platdata. When the allocation/copy happens, the DM_FLAG_ALLOC_PDATA flag will be set as well. The dtoc tool is updated to output the platdata_size field, since U-Boot has no other way of knowing the size of the of-platdata struct. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-07-21dm: Add platform data advice and admonishmentSimon Glass
We should guide people more strongly towards device tree to avoid the proliferation of platform data structures. Add documentation to the driver model README, and also the platform data header file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2014-10-22dm: core: Allow a list of devices to be declared in one stepSimon Glass
The U_BOOT_DEVICE macro allows the declaration of a single U-Boot device. Add an equivalent macro to declare an array of devices, for convenience. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2014-10-22dm: include <linker_lists.h> from platdata.h and uclass.hMasahiro Yamada
The header files include/dm/platdata.h and include/dm/uclass.h use ll_entry_declare(); therefore they depend on include/linker_lists.h. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2014-10-22dm: fix commentsMasahiro Yamada
The struct udevice stands for a device, not a driver. The driver_info.name is a driver's name, which is referenced to bind devices. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2014-07-23dm: Tidy up some header file commentsSimon Glass
Fix up the style of a few comments and add/clarify a few others. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2014-03-04dm: Add base driver model supportSimon Glass
Add driver model functionality for generic board. This includes data structures and base code for registering devices and uclasses (groups of devices with the same purpose, e.g. all I2C ports will be in the same uclass). The feature is enabled with CONFIG_DM.
