[PATCH 1/2] of/platform: Fix fn definitons for of_link_is_valid() and of_link_property()

[Saravana Kannan]

of_link_is_valid() can be static since it's not used anywhere else.

of_link_property() return type should have been int instead of bool.

[PATCH 2/2] of/platform: Disable generic device linking code for PowerPC

[Saravana Kannan]

PowerPC platforms don't use the generic of/platform code to populate the
devices from DT.  Therefore the generic device linking code is never used
in PowerPC.  Compile it out to avoid warning about unused functions.

If a specific PowerPC platform wants to use this code in the future,
bringing this back for PowerPC would be trivial. We'll just need to export
of_link_to_suppliers() and then let the machine specific files do the
linking as they populate the devices from DT.

I'd prefer this get disabled on PPC using 'if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC))
return' rather than #ifdefs.

No they don't. My wording could be better, but they don't use
of_platform_default_populate_init()

I'm just moving the existing ifndef some lines above. I don't want to
go change existing #ifndef in this patch. Maybe that should be a
separate patch series that goes and fixes all such code in drivers/of/
or driver/

Bump. Thoughts? I don't think changing the existing if(n)defs should
be part of this patch series.

Right, but the rest of the of/platform code is used (guess where it
got moved here from?).

So the initcall was originally just supposed to call
of_platform_default_populate(), but it's grown beyond that. That could
make things fragile as it is possible for platforms to call
of_platform_populate() (directly or indirectly) before
of_platform_default_populate_init(). That was supposed to work, but
now I think it's getting more fragile.

Anyways, I guess this patch is fine for now.

Can you clarify what's wrong with of_platfrom_populate() being called
before of_platform_default_populate_init()? If that's what a platform
wants to do, they can do it? I have some thoughts of my own, but I
want to hear yours.
In any case, I'd be happy to help  clean up this initcall if you can
give me a direction to take it in.

Really, I'd like to get rid of platforms doing their own calls. That's
mostly an arm32 issue. Most of what's left are either platforms using
auxdata which was supposed to be a transition thing or ones that set a
parent device (soc_device). The former takes work to finish converting
platforms to DT and I don't know what to do for the latter other than
always or never set a parent device. Also, I know there's an issue on
atmel where we can't remove their of_platform_populate call because it
changes the probe order and breaks their pinctrl and gpio driver (I
started a patch for that...).
