[PATCH v2 0/6] device property: Introducing software nodes

[PATCH v2 0/6] device property: Introducing software nodes

[Heikki Krogerus]

Hi,

This is the second version of my proposal for "software nodes". There
was a "dereferencing freed memory" bug in patch 3/5 which is now
fixed. device_add_properties() and device_remove_properties() no
longer change places in the code as requested by Andy.

The original RFC can be checked from here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/12/518

The origin commit message:

To continue the discussion started by Dmitry [1], this is my proposal
that I mentioned in my last mail. In short, the idea is that instead
of trying to extend the support for the currently used struct
property_set, I'm proposing that we introduce a completely new,
independent type of fwnode, and replace the struct property_set with
it. I'm calling the type "software node" here.

The reason for a complete separation of the software nodes from the
generic property handling code is the need to be able to create the
nodes independently from the devices that they are bind to.

The way this works is that every node that is created will have a
kobject registered. That will take care the ref counting for us, and
also allow us to for example display the properties in sysfs.

There are a few more details in patch 3/5 about the software nodes in
the commit message.

[PATCH v2 2/6] drivers core: Prepare support for multiple platform notifications

[Heikki Krogerus]

Since it should be possible to support several hardware
description models at the same time (at least in theory),
for example ACPI and devicetree on a running system, the
platform notifications need to be handled differently.

For now a single "platform_notify" callback function was
used to notify the underlying base system which is in charge
of the hardware description when a new device entry was
added to the system, but that callback is available to only
a single base system at the time. This will add a function
device_platform_notify() and replace all direct
platform_notify() calls with it.

device_platform_notify() will first simply call the
platform_notify() callback, so this commit has no functional
affect, however, the idea is that individual base systems
will put their direct notification calls there instead of
using the platform_notify function pointer.

[PATCH v2 3/6] ACPI / glue: Add acpi_platform_notify() function

[Heikki Krogerus]

Instead of relying on the "platform_notify" callback hook,
introducing separate notification function
acpi_platform_notify() and calling that directly from
drivers core when device entries are added and removed.

[PATCH v2 4/6] drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework

[Heikki Krogerus]

Software node is a new struct fwnode_handle type that can be
used to describe devices in kernel (software). It is meant
to complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when
they are incomplete (for example missing device properties)
and to supply the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks
hardware description for a device completely.

The software node type is really meant to replace the
currently used "property_set" struct fwnode_handle type. The
handling of struct property_set is glued to the generic
device property handling code, and it is not possible to
create a struct property_set independently from the device
that it is bind to. struct property_set is only created when
device properties are added to already initialized struct
device, and control of it is only possible from the generic
property handling code.

Software nodes are instead designed to be created
independently from the device entries (struct device). It
makes them much more flexible, as then the device meant to
be bind to the node can be created at a later time, and from
another location. It is also possible to bind multiple
devices to a single software node if needed.

The software node implementation also includes support for
node hierarchy, which was the main motivation for this
commit. The node hierarchy was something that was requested
for the struct property_set, but it did not seem reasonable
to try to extend the property_set support for that purpose.
struct property_set was really meant only for device
property handling like the name suggests.

Support for struct property_set is not yet removed in this
commit, but it will be in the following one.

[PATCH v2 6/6] device property: Remove struct property_set

[Heikki Krogerus]

Replacing struct property_set with the software nodes that
were just introduced.

The API and functionality for adding properties to devices
remains the same, however, the goal is to convert the
drivers to use the API for software nodes when the device
has no real firmware node, and use the old API only when
"extra" build-in properties are needed.

Why do we want to do that though?

If I am reading the code correctly, the change as it is implemented
broke some of the current users of device_add_properties() (i.e. in
i2c core when we instantiate a new i2c-client from a static board
info) because it will fail to remove the properties (as the software
node will be set up as primary and device_remove_properties explicitly
looks at the secondary) on device removal.

What is wrong with having device_add_properties() and
device_remove_properties() to continue properly handling both cases
(swnode only vs mix)?

Thanks.
