[PATCH v4 00/18] mfd: demodularization of non-modular drivers

[Paul Gortmaker]

[v3 --> v4: delete now unused exit fcn from wm835x core; add more acks
 now all in chrono order, re-test.]

[v2 --> v3: drop diasemi commits as they will be modularized; delete
 now unused exit fcn from wm831x core; add more acks; re-test.]

[v1 --> v2: add some more commits as requested by Lee (MFD maintainer),
 update the 00/NN text; re-do build and link testing on new linux-next. ]

This group of MFD drivers are all controlled by "bool" Kconfig settings,
but contain various amounts of largely pointless uses of infrastructure
related to modular operations, even though they can't be built modular.

We can easily remove/replace all of it.  We are trying to make driver
code consistent with the Makefiles/Kconfigs that control them.  This
means not using modular functions/macros for drivers that can never be
built as a module.  Some of the downfalls this oversight leads to are:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding a lot of CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other drivers and spreads quickly.

What we see in current drivers falls into one or more of the following
categories:

1) include of <linux/module.h> when it simply isn't needed

2) Use of MODULE_LICENSE, MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE,  MODULE_AUTHOR etc. 
   macros that are no-ops for non-modular drivers.

3) Creation of a module_exit() function that will be compiled and
   linked in but never actually called for non-modular drivers.

4) Addition of a platform_driver ".remove" function that is bound
   into the struct but will never be called for non-module use cases.

Solution to #1 --> #3 is simple ; we just delete the related code.

The solution to #4 is similar - we delete the ".remove" function and
the binding into the platform_driver struct.  However, since the same
".remove" function could also be triggered by an "unbind" (such as for
pass-through of a device to a guest instance)  - so we also explicitly
disable any unbind for the driver.

The unbind mask allows us to ensure we will see if there was some odd
corner case out there that was relying on it.  Typically it would be a
multi-port ethernet card passing a port through to a guest, so a
sensible use case in MFD drivers seems highly unlikely.  This same
solution has already been used in multiple other mainline subsystems.

Build testing was done on drivers/mfd for allyesconfig on x86_64, ARM
and ARM-64 on a recent linux-next checkout.

Paul.

[PATCH 01/18] mfd: aat2870-core: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_AAT2870_CORE
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "AnalogicTech AAT2870"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 02/18] mfd: adp5520: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Makefile/Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_PMIC_ADP5520) += adp5520.o
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config PMIC_ADP5520
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "Analog Devices ADP5520/01 MFD PMIC Core Support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_i2c_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_i2c_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 03/18] mfd: as3711: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_AS3711
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "AMS AS3711"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 04/18] mfd: db8500-prcmu: drop unused MODULE_ tags from non-modular code

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_DB8500_PRCMU
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "ST-Ericsson DB8500 Power Reset Control Management Unit"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We replace module.h with init.h and export.h ; the latter since the
file does export some symbols.

[PATCH 05/18] mfd: htc-i2cpld: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig for this option is currently:

config HTC_I2CPLD
        bool "HTC I2C PLD chip support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "System Controller Register R/W Based on Regmap"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 10/18] mfd: tps65090: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_TPS65090
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "TI TPS65090 Power Management chips"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 13/18] mfd: wm831x-spi: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_WM831X_SPI
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "Wolfson Microelectronics WM831x/2x PMICs with SPI"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 14/18] mfd: wm831x-i2c: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_WM831X_I2C
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "Wolfson Microelectronics WM831x/2x PMICs with I2C"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

[PATCH 15/18] mfd: wm831x-core: drop unused module infrastructure from non-modular code

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_WM831X
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

Previous demodularizaion work has made wm831x_device_exit() no longer
used, so it is also removed from the 831x core code.

[PATCH 16/18] mfd: wm8350-i2c: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_WM8350_I2C
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "Wolfson Microelectronics WM8350 with I2C"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
But we do delete an unused moduleparam.h

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We replace module.h with init.h and export.h ; the latter since the

Previous demodularizaion work has made wm8350_device_exit() no longer
used, so it is also removed from the 8350 core code.

[PATCH 18/18] mfd: wm8400-core: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_WM8400
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:    bool "Wolfson Microelectronics WM8400"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

A trivial function rename from wm8400_module_init to the name
wm8400_driver_init is also done to reduce possible confusion.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

Do we not want to add suppress_bind_attrs into the i2c_driver
struct here?

We can add one if you/maintainers want one, but if you look at the
original patch, this driver was using the more classic/legacy case of
subsys_init() vs. platform_driver_register() used in other drivers.

Not adding a suppress_bind_attrs here was intentional, since I'd decided
to put in the unbind entries for code that used platform_driver_register()
where the author had created the .remove code, on the assumption that they
had put some thought into the process of unbind/remove - to make it
explicit that unbind is now disabled.

To be clear, using the subsys_init() doesn't implicitly disable unbind.
However, there are lots of non-modular drivers out there; ones I've not
even touched, and to start a project to add an unbind disable to them
all is beyond the scope of the goals I've listed in the 00/18 preamble.

I'd hope maybe we can revisit the global default setting for non-modular
code someday - to make non-modules opt-in instead of opt-out, and
achieve better consistency from one driver to the next, without having
to add a new .driver sub-struct to each file for the suppress entry.

I think LinusW hinted at in an earlier email in this ongoing review,
that the default setting didn't quite make sense to him either.  But in
any case, that is a separate discussion for another time and place.

Let me know if you explicitly want one added, otherwise I'll just leave
the .remove + .suppress_bind_attrs pairing as described above.

Thanks,
Paul.

Nah its ok, if you are specifically not doing this one I think I
am ok with it. Just seemed out of place compared to the the
others:

[PATCH v5 00/18] mfd: demodularization of non-modular drivers

[Paul Gortmaker]

[v4 --> v5: add more acks, re-do build tests on newest linux-next after
the 5.0 merge window closed.]

[v3 --> v4: delete now unused exit fcn from wm835x core; add more acks
 now all in chrono order, re-test.]

[v2 --> v3: drop diasemi commits as they will be modularized; delete
 now unused exit fcn from wm831x core; add more acks; re-test.]

[v1 --> v2: add some more commits as requested by Lee (MFD maintainer),
 update the 00/NN text; re-do build and link testing on new linux-next. ]

This group of MFD drivers are all controlled by "bool" Kconfig settings,
but contain various amounts of largely pointless uses of infrastructure
related to modular operations, even though they can't be built modular.

We can easily remove/replace all of it.  We are trying to make driver
code consistent with the Makefiles/Kconfigs that control them.  This
means not using modular functions/macros for drivers that can never be
built as a module.  Some of the downfalls this oversight leads to are:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding a lot of CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other drivers and spreads quickly.

What we see in current drivers falls into one or more of the following
categories:

1) include of <linux/module.h> when it simply isn't needed

2) Use of MODULE_LICENSE, MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE,  MODULE_AUTHOR etc. 
   macros that are no-ops for non-modular drivers.

3) Creation of a module_exit() function that will be compiled and
   linked in but never actually called for non-modular drivers.

4) Addition of a platform_driver ".remove" function that is bound
   into the struct but will never be called for non-module use cases.

Solution to #1 --> #3 is simple ; we just delete the related code.

The solution to #4 is similar - we delete the ".remove" function and
the binding into the platform_driver struct.  However, since the same
".remove" function could also be triggered by an "unbind" (such as for
pass-through of a device to a guest instance)  - so we also explicitly
disable any unbind for the driver.

The unbind mask allows us to ensure we will see if there was some odd
corner case out there that was relying on it.  Typically it would be a
multi-port ethernet card passing a port through to a guest, so a
sensible use case in MFD drivers seems highly unlikely.  This same
solution has already been used in multiple other mainline subsystems.

Build testing was done on drivers/mfd for allyesconfig on x86_64, ARM
and ARM-64 on a recent linux-next checkout.

Paul.

[PATCH 11/18] mfd: tps65910: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_TPS65910
drivers/mfd/Kconfig-    bool "TI TPS65910 Power Management chip"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
We do delete an unused moduleparam.h include though.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH v3 00/18] mfd: demodularization of non-modular drivers

[Paul Gortmaker]

[v2 --> v3: drop diasemi commits as they will be modularized; delete
 now unused exit fcn from wm831x core; add more acks; re-test.]

[v1 --> v2: add some more commits as requested by Lee (MFD maintainer),
 update the 00/NN text; re-do build and link testing on new linux-next. ]

This group of MFD drivers are all controlled by "bool" Kconfig settings,
but contain various amounts of largely pointless uses of infrastructure
related to modular operations, even though they can't be built modular.

We can easily remove/replace all of it.  We are trying to make driver
code consistent with the Makefiles/Kconfigs that control them.  This
means not using modular functions/macros for drivers that can never be
built as a module.  Some of the downfalls this oversight leads to are:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding a lot of CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other drivers and spreads quickly.

What we see in current drivers falls into one or more of the following
categories:

1) include of <linux/module.h> when it simply isn't needed

2) Use of MODULE_LICENSE, MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE,  MODULE_AUTHOR etc. 
   macros that are no-ops for non-modular drivers.

3) Creation of a module_exit() function that will be compiled and
   linked in but never actually called for non-modular drivers.

4) Addition of a platform_driver ".remove" function that is bound
   into the struct but will never be called for non-module use cases.

Solution to #1 --> #3 is simple ; we just delete the related code.

The solution to #4 is similar - we delete the ".remove" function and
the binding into the platform_driver struct.  However, since the same
".remove" function could also be triggered by an "unbind" (such as for
pass-through of a device to a guest instance)  - so we also explicitly
disable any unbind for the driver.

The unbind mask allows us to ensure we will see if there was some odd
corner case out there that was relying on it.  Typically it would be a
multi-port ethernet card passing a port through to a guest, so a
sensible use case in MFD drivers seems highly unlikely.  This same
solution has already been used in multiple other mainline subsystems.

Build testing was done on drivers/mfd for allyesconfig on x86_64, ARM
and ARM-64 on a recent linux-next checkout.

Paul.

[PATCH 11/18] mfd: tps65910: Make it explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_TPS65910
drivers/mfd/Kconfig-    bool "TI TPS65910 Power Management chip"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
We do delete an unused moduleparam.h include though.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.
