Shouldn't DT preserve pdev name and id to allow platform_match to work?

Hi Grant,

Going further with the usage of OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID, I realized that this is is not doing what I was expecting. My expectation might be silly, but in order to make platform_match to work without DT matching mechanism, you need to have the driver name in the pdev->name field:

	/* fall-back to driver name match */
	return (strcmp(pdev->name, drv->name) == 0);

Except that the of_device_add function is doing that:
	pdev->name = dev_name(&ofdev->dev);
	pdev->id = -1;

Thus overwriting the original pdev->name with the dev_name / bus_id in DT case.

Whereas the regular naming convention with pdev is to have dev_name = <name>.<id>".

Because of that, we cannot match the proper driver name with this entry: 

  OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID("ti,omap-i2c", 0x48000100, "omap-i2c.1", 1, &i2c_pdata)

pdev->id will be properly overwritten after device creation, but not the pdev->name.
pdev->name will be "omap-i2c.1" instead of "omap-i2c".

By changing a little bit the format like that (removing the id from bus_id that is BTW redundant in that case):

  OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID("ti,omap-i2c", 0x48000100, "omap-i2c", 1, &i2c_pdata)

We will be able to maintain the original driver name inside pdev->name and thus match correctly during probe with the legacy method.

Since DT is building a real platform_device, it seems to be reasonable to maintain the legacy name.

Moreover that will allow a basic driver to still probe correctly its devices.

Please find after a quick and dirty proof of concept.

Does that make sense to you?

Regards,
Benoit

This is taken here:
http://git.secretlab.ca/?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=04f51955dc690666467252015a931d71d5c56696

and it is pending for upstream.

With the above patch, both pdev->name and pdev->id can be set as per
hwmod requirement through aux_data
lookup table. we might have to append pdev->id to pdev->name so that
it can used for device look up in the hwmod
device list.

Mmm, but I'm already using that patch, and it is only taking care of the 
pdev->id, hence my email. Did I miss something?

I'm not sure to get your point here.

Yes, I know.  It is written that way on purpose so that it doesn't get
used to avoid adding a match table to the device driver because
auxdata is a stop-gap solution.  It is *not* intended to be used long
term (with one exception for passing platform callbacks when there is
no other solution).

auxdata passes platform_data and overrides the device name when there
is no way easy way to make the driver work without it.  It handles the
the current implementation of clocks and regulators which aren't yet
populated from the device tree.  It will go away when clock &
regulator bindings are implemented.

By implementing it the way it is, it ensures that no drivers
inadvertently depends on auxdata, and will thus break when the auxdata
entries are removed.  Manjunath mentioned that there is a patch that
allows the id to be set, but it still doesn't set the driver name in a
way that will allow existing drivers to bind using the old method, and
that is by design.

I understand what you are asking for, but the DT matching mechanism is
absolutely required.  Adding it to drivers is certainly not any more
onerous that maintaining a bunch of auxdata tables for boards.
Besides, part of the point of the move to DT is to eliminate device
and device data tables at the board file level, which is another
reason why auxdata is a temporary solution.

Yes. As OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID still requires hardware information like
0x48000100 as below, it seems it is not
consistent with the origin purpose of ARM DT.
OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID("ti,omap-i2c", 0x48000100, "omap-i2c.1", 1, &i2c_pdata)
And the information 0x48000100 is something that doesn't want to be in
kernel codes.it should be only in dts.

Outch... You guys are doing your best to make our life harder :-)

Fair enough.
Bottom line is that DT is a all inclusive pack, you cannot skip one part 
even if it is not necessarily needed right now :-(

I understand very well the final goal, I was just trying to spread the 
huge effort that DT migration will require to focus first on the stuff 
located in mach-omap, meaning all the board and devices init part.

I was hoping to let the drivers for the moment until the first phase is 
done. Since auxdata was already there to help the migration, I was just 
expecting it to be even more helpful.

Again, I got that point, it was not our intent to use that as a final 
solution.

Let's start hacking the OMAP drivers then...

Benoit

FWIW, I do not care about the physical address at all. This is just used 
by the of_dev_lookup function to get the proper instance for a device 
compatible type.
That's the only way for the OF_DEV_AUXDATA to work, but in theory you 
could do the same as soon as you provide the id. So OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID 
could avoid it.

Since OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID seems to be already dead before it even reaches 
the mainline, let's forget about that.

Regards,
Benoit

Actually, I'm planning to merge OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID().  I was hoping to
avoid it but there was enough hard-to-solve-quickly problems that I've
relented.

Adding the match table is not hard-to-solve though, so I'm not
relenting on that point.  :-)
