I think your approach is sensible.  There is of course just the little
problem that firewire-core keeps the matching device_id table entry as a
secret to itself.  Therefore, struct ieee1394_device_id.driver_data is
currently totally useless.

How about we make it available like in the following patch?

Besides being useful to your presently out-of-tree work, the in-tree
sound/firewire/speakers.c::fwspk_detect() could be rewritten to use this
approach.  Maybe I will post an expanded version of this patch which
incorporates such a first in-tree usage.

Subject: [PATCH] firewire: pass matching ieee1394_device_id to drivers via struct fw_unit

FireWire audio unit drivers will need to apply various model-specific
operations.  The struct ieee1394_device_id.driver_data member can be
used to store respective flags or function pointer tables.

But until now drivers had no way to know which driver->id_table index
was matched with an fw_unit instance.  Other bus subsystems like pci or
usb pass this information via an own driver probe method, whereas the
firewire subsystem uses the stock struct device_driver.probe().

We could introduce a struct fw_driver.probe() which works similarly to
struct pci_driver.probe() or struct usb_driver.probe().  But it seems
simpler to just add a new member to struct fw_unit which caches the
matching ieee1394_device_id, so this is what is done here.

Why not pass it in the probe() function, like USB and PCI does?  That
way, if the driver wants to save it for that device, it can.

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi Stefan and Greg,

I'm glad to contact with you.

I'm quite a beginner of Linux Firewire subsystem (Juju) and the others 
like PCI and USB. So it's hard for me to realize what Juju should be.
But I can rebuild Juju and test it with my devices and modules for which 
I'm working. I'm pleased to test your patches in this way if you need to 
check probe() function in driver module.


Thanks

Takashi Sakamoto

[PATCH] firewire: introduce fw_driver.probe and .remove methods

[Stefan Richter]

FireWire upper layer drivers are converted from generic
    struct driver.probe() and .remove()
to bus-specific
    struct fw_driver.probe() and .remove().

The new .probe() adds a const struct ieee1394_device_id *id argument,
indicating the entry in the driver's device identifiers table which
matched the fw_unit to be probed.  This new argument is used by the
snd-firewire-speakers driver to look up device-specific parameters and
methods.  There is at least one other FireWire audio driver currently in
development in which this will be useful too.

The new .remove() drops the unused error return code.

Although all in-tree drivers are being converted to the new methods,
support for the old methods is left in place for the time being, aiming
to avoid conflicts if/when new drivers are being merged into the
mainline via other trees.

[PATCH] firewire: remove support of fw_driver.driver.probe and .remove methods

[Stefan Richter]

After all drivers being converted to bus-specific .probe/.remove methods,
remove support of the obsolete generic methods.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

To be merged maybe one release cycle after patch "firewire: introduce
fw_driver.probe and .remove methods".

Are there other firewire drivers in other trees in linux-next right now?
If not, I'd just recommend converting everything over and not using the
old functions at all.  Especially as there really isn't that many
firewire drivers, and new ones are pretty rare these days, right?

Other than that, your patch looks good.

I think there is none in -next at the moment.  But Sakamoto-san posted an
RFC just two days ago:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2013-June/062614.html

This is one of two(?) drivers on which he is currently working on; the
other one is the one which is going to need the new id argument
in .probe().  And then there is another person working on yet another
sound/firewire/ driver, but upstreaming of that driver might take a
little more time for some more integration steps, from what I heard.

So, alternatively I could fold "firewire: remove support of
fw_driver.driver.probe and .remove methods" into this one and commit it to
a stable topic branch in linux1394.git (to be merged early after 3.10),
and the audio driver developers could pull this topic branch if they want
to and when they want to.

Thanks for review.

Re: [PATCH] firewire: introduce fw_driver.probe and .remove methods

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi Stefan and Greg,

I test Stefan's patches and it works well with my devices.

 > This is one of two(?) drivers on which he is currently working on;

Yes. I'm developing for two driver modules for some firewire sound 
device. One is "snd-fireworks" as Stefan mentioned and another is 
"snd-bebob" for BridgeCo.'s BeBoB based firewire sound devices. Both of 
them is now out of tree and in my github repository.

 >> Are there other firewire drivers in other trees in linux-next
 >> right now?

I know the persons who work for "snd-dice", an driver module is for TC 
Applied Technologies' Dice based firewire sound devices. I'll inform 
them about your patches and topic branch.


Thanks a lot!

AFAICS it's unlikely that any of the new sound drivers will be merged soon
enough for this to matter.

Re: [PATCH] firewire: introduce fw_driver.probe and .remove methods

[Stefan Richter]

I pushed the branch "fw_driver-api-transition" out to linux1394.git at

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394.git fw_driver-api-transition

This branch originates from v3.10-rc5 and contains only the single patch
"firewire: introduce fw_driver.probe and .remove methods".

If you pull this branch, you _can_ move your drivers to the new methods.

Furthermore, the "master" and "for-next" branches at linux1394.git are
now based on "fw_driver-api-transition" and contain patch "firewire:
remove support of fw_driver.driver.probe and .remove methods".

This means that starting from tomorrow, any FireWire driver which goes into
linux-next _must_ implement the new methods.
