You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark

Why? The recommendation is in general not to use of_match_ptr, because there are little benefits but it disables matching via PRP0001. Jonathan in parallel thread explicitly said of_match_ptr should disappear and he is not accepting any new code with it. And in general he is right. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230311183534.1d0dfd64@jic23-huawei/ and earlier: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=444f5f854b35 Best regards, Krzysztof

If that's the case then why are you adding maybe unused annotations for half the drivers rather than removing their of_match_ptr() usages? There doesn't seem to be any logic here, it's just randomly making changes as far as I can tell. The PRP0001 stuff isn't an issue, of_match_ptr() can just be changed to do the right thing for CONFIG_ACPI. It doesn't buy us huge amounts but it also costs us very little and may be useful in future. When there's missing annotations it's not causing issues for practical configurations as far as I can tell, and if the macro were updated for CONFIG_ACPI it'd be even less of an issue.

These are not random but depend on whether OF is the only matching method or one of few. Although for IIO all of my patches would be dropping the of_match_ptr... For some cases in other patchsets I added __maybe_unused also because of_match_node(), when the table is not used in driver of_match_table. > > The PRP0001 stuff isn't an issue, of_match_ptr() can just be changed to > do the right thing for CONFIG_ACPI. That's actually interesting idea, kind of obvious so I wonder why it wasn't done like this in the first place in 886ca88be6b3 ("ACPI / bus: Respect PRP0001 when retrieving device match data"). Maybe not to populate OF device ID tables for the ACPI systems which do not care about PRP0001? > It doesn't buy us huge amounts but > it also costs us very little and may be useful in future.

This logic is both not apparent when looking at the patches and doesn't move us in any particular direction - I'd expect this stuff to be written the same way for all drivers, there's no reason for it to vary. That just adds complication, it's more random obscure rules people have to learn. > > The PRP0001 stuff isn't an issue, of_match_ptr() can just be changed to > > do the right thing for CONFIG_ACPI. > That's actually interesting idea, kind of obvious so I wonder why it > wasn't done like this in the first place in 886ca88be6b3 ("ACPI / bus: > Respect PRP0001 when retrieving device match data").
