This patch fixes the hierarchy. Why? I'm not particularly arguing for or against this change (I think it affects me slightly, but not in a breaking way), but this commit text seems pretty generic. It doesn't really help me understand the relevance of this change. It seems to be only describing what you are doing, but not the why. How did you find this? How does this affect the client drivers? Does it make something the client drivers care about better? To put this another way, "should" is an opinion, and you've provided no facts to assert why your opinion is superior to others. > > Signed-off-by: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@linaro.org> > --- > v2: fix commit message > > drivers/bus/mhi/core/init.c | 10 +++++++++- > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/bus/mhi/core/init.c b/drivers/bus/mhi/core/init.c > index 436221c..c7a7354 100644 > --- a/drivers/bus/mhi/core/init.c > +++ b/drivers/bus/mhi/core/init.c > @@ -1137,7 +1137,15 @@ struct mhi_device *mhi_alloc_device(struct mhi_controller *mhi_cntrl) > device_initialize(dev); > dev->bus = &mhi_bus_type; > dev->release = mhi_release_device; > - dev->parent = mhi_cntrl->cntrl_dev; > + > + if (mhi_cntrl->mhi_dev) { > + /* for MHI client devices, parent is the MHI controller device */ > + dev->parent = &mhi_cntrl->mhi_dev->dev; > + } else { > + /* for MHI controller device, parent is the bus device (e.g. pci device) */ > + dev->parent = mhi_cntrl->cntrl_dev; > + } > + > mhi_dev->mhi_cntrl = mhi_cntrl; > mhi_dev->dev_wake = 0; > >

That's right I've not elaborate too much, but it's mainly to respect the hierarchy of devices, as it is done for other busses. The hierarchy is especially important for things like power management ordering (PM core must suspend devices before their controller, wakeup the controller before its devices...). Moreover it will also be useful for userspace (thanks to sysfs) to determine which devices are behind which controllers (and so determine if e.g. QMI and IP channels are part of the same device).

A MHI client device should be child of the MHI controller device. Today both MHI controller and its MHI clients are direct children of the same bus device. This patch fixes the hierarchy.
