[PATCH 00/10] Stop NULLifying match pointer in of_match_device()

[PATCH 00/10] Stop NULLifying match pointer in of_match_device()

[Stephen Boyd]

of_match_device() uses of_match_ptr() to make the match table argument
NULL via the pre-processor when CONFIG_OF=n. This makes life harder for
compilers who think that match tables are never used and warn about
unused variables when CONFIG_OF=n. This series changes various callers
to use of_device_get_match_data() instead, which doesn't have this
problem, and removes the of_match_ptr() usage from of_match_device() so
that the compiler can stop complaining about unused variables. It will
do dead code elimination instead and remove the match table if it isn't
actually used.

[PATCH 01/10] leds: pca953x: Use of_device_get_match_data()

[Stephen Boyd]

This driver can use the of_device_get_match_data() API to simplify the
code. Replace calls to of_match_device() with this newer API under the
assumption that where it is called will be when we know the device is
backed by a DT node. This nicely avoids referencing the match table when
it is undefined with configurations where CONFIG_OF=n.

This still leaves it OF-centric.
Better to use device_get_match_data().

Also, I'm thinking that following may help to clean a lot of the i2c
client drivers

static inline // perhaps no
const void *i2c_device_get_match_data(struct i2c_client *client, const
struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
  if (id)
    return (const void *)id->driver_data;
  return device_get_match_data(&client->dev);
}

Looks alright to me. Maybe device_get_match_data() can look at the bus
and call some bus op if the firmware match isn't present? Then we can
replace a bunch of these calls with device_get_match_data() and it will
"do the right thing" regardless of what bus or firmware the device is
running on.

It will be something ugly like

buses {
#ifdef I2C
&i2c_bus_type,
#endif
...
}

in the code. I won't do this.

See generic_match_buses[] for example.

Why is it like generic_match_buses[]? I thought it would look at
struct device::of_node or struct device::fw_node and try to extract
device data out that and if that fails it would fallback to some new
function like struct bus_type::get_match_data() that does the right
thing for the bus. In the case of i2c it would extract the i2c_client's
i2c_device_id pointer and return it onwards.

I see nothing obviously wrong, so...

Acked-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
