In a previous patch set, lynx_pcs_create() was modified to increase the mdio device refcount, and lynx_pcs_destroy() to drop that refcount. The first two patches change these two drivers to put the reference which they hold immediately after lynx_pcs_create(), effectively handing the responsibility for maintaining the refcount to the Lynx PCS driver. A side effect of the first two patches is that lynx_get_mdio_device() is no longer used, so patch 3 removes it. Patch 4 adds a new helper - lynx_pcs_create_fwnode(), which creates a Lynx PCS instance from the fwnode. Patch 5 and 6 convert the two drivers to make use of this new helper, which simply has to find the mdio device, and then create the Lynx PCS from that. With those conversions done, lynx_pcs_create() is no longer required outside pcs-lynx.c, so remove it from public view. Finally, in patch 8 we change lynx_pcs_create() to return an error-pointer rather than NULL to bring consistency to the return style, and means that we can remove the NULL-to-error-pointer conversion from both lynx_pcs_create_fwnode() and lynx_pcs_create_mdiodev(). drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-mac.c | 21 ++++++------- drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/fman_memac.c | 18 +++-------- drivers/net/pcs/pcs-lynx.c | 40 ++++++++++++++---------- include/linux/pcs-lynx.h | 4 +-- 4 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up.
