This change is required in order to be able to build the component
as a module.

As far as I can see, in next-20150519, drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c lacks
the required module specific boilerplate for this to be useful. Is that
boilerplate added in another series?

Thanks,

I need to rephrase this. Let me try again.

As far as I can see, in next-20150519, drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c lacks
a MODULE_LICENSE() macro. Without that macro loading the module should
trigger a warning and taint the kernel, right?

By the way, as far as I can see, this (new) module can only be loaded
manually (or via scripts). Is that what people want?

Thanks,


Paul Bolle

This comment wasn't well thought through. So I hand another look at the
code of usf-qcom.

I noticed that the single thing ufs-qcom exports is "struct
ufs_hba_qcom_vops". But that's unused in next-20150520:
    $ git grep -nw ufs_hba_qcom_vops
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:999: * struct ufs_hba_qcom_vops - UFS QCOM specific variant operations
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:1004:static const struct ufs_hba_variant_ops ufs_hba_qcom_vops = {
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:1016:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ufs_hba_qcom_vops);

So it's not used by code outside of ufs-qcom.c. Probably because it
can't actually be used by outside code. It's not mentioned in any public
header and it's even static!

Am I missing something obvious here? Because ufs-qcom currently looks
pointless to me, and I actually see little reason to even have it in the
mainline tree.

we haven't uploaded yet the patch that binds qcom vops to the driver, but
we will soon.

Perhaps you could make that patch part of v2 of this series. I see
little point in this series without that patch. Perhaps someone else
still cares about it, but I'm not looking at it anymore.

Thanks,
