Hello all,
I just updated to the most recent kernel and a driver I wrote last year
won't compile:
xad.c:534:2: error: implicit declaration of function
'of_register_platform_driver'
I see references to this function as 'obsolete' but could not find
what's the new recommended way to do things. Here's a bit of the
offending code:
static struct of_platform_driver xad_driver = {
.probe = xad_driver_probe,
.remove = xad_driver_remove,
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "xad-driver",
.of_match_table = xad_device_id,
},
};
...
static int __init xad_init(void) {
...
first = MKDEV (my_major, my_minor);
register_chrdev_region(first, count, DEVNAME);
my_cdev = cdev_alloc ();
if (NULL==my_cdev) goto Err;
cdev_init(my_cdev, &fops);
rc=cdev_add (my_cdev, first, count);
...
rc = of_register_platform_driver(&xad_driver);
...
}

The history of drivers/misc/carma/carma-fpga.c will show you the code
changes necessary. Specifically, these two commits perform the
conversion:
493340207 carma-fpga: Missed switch from of_register_platform_driver()
b00e126ff MISC: convert drivers/misc/* to use module_platform_driver()
Hope it helps,
Ira

The "of" bits were merged with the regular platform driver. So you
should use a platform_driver, which basically means remove "of_"
everywhere.
cheers
