drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

software node: Add support for static node descriptors Until now the software nodes could only be created dynamically with fwnode_create_software_node() function. This introduces struct software_node data structure, which makes it possible to describe the software nodes also statically. The statically described software nodes can be registered with a new function fwnode_register_software_node(). This also adds a helper fwnode_register_software_nodes() which makes it possible to register an array of struct software_nodes, i.e. multiple nodes at the same time. There is no difference between statically described and dynamically allocated software nodes. Even the registration does not differ, except that during node creation the device properties are only copied if the node is created dynamically. With statically described nodes, the property entries in the descriptor (struct software_node) are assigned directly to the new software node that is being created without any copies.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

software node: get rid of property_set_pointer() Instead of explicitly setting values of integer types when copying property entries lets just copy entire value union when processing non-array values. For value arrays we no longer use union of pointers, but rather a single void pointer, which allows us to remove property_set_pointer(). In property_get_pointer() we do not need to handle each data type separately, we can simply return either the pointer or pointer to values union. We are not losing anything from removing typed pointer union because the upper layers do their accesses through void pointers anyway, and we trust the "type" of the property when interpret the data. We rely on users of property entries on using PROPERTY_ENTRY_XXX() macros to properly initialize entries instead of poking in the instances directly.

software node: get rid of property_set_pointer() Instead of explicitly setting values of integer types when copying property entries lets just copy entire value union when processing non-array values. For value arrays we no longer use union of pointers, but rather a single void pointer, which allows us to remove property_set_pointer(). In property_get_pointer() we do not need to handle each data type separately, we can simply return either the pointer or pointer to values union. We are not losing anything from removing typed pointer union because the upper layers do their accesses through void pointers anyway, and we trust the "type" of the property when interpret the data. We rely on users of property entries on using PROPERTY_ENTRY_XXX() macros to properly initialize entries instead of poking in the instances directly.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

This introduces struct software_node data structure, which makes it possible to describe the software nodes also statically. The statically described software nodes can be registered with a new function fwnode_register_software_node(). This also adds a helper fwnode_register_software_nodes() which makes it possible to register an array of struct software_nodes, i.e. multiple nodes at the same time. There is no difference between statically described and dynamically allocated software nodes. Even the registration does not differ, except that during node creation the device properties are only copied if the node is created dynamically.

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.

software node: Add support for static node descriptors Until now the software nodes could only be created dynamically with fwnode_create_software_node() function. This introduces struct software_node data structure, which makes it possible to describe the software nodes also statically. The statically described software nodes can be registered with a new function fwnode_register_software_node(). This also adds a helper fwnode_register_software_nodes() which makes it possible to register an array of struct software_nodes, i.e. multiple nodes at the same time. There is no difference between statically described and dynamically allocated software nodes. Even the registration does not differ, except that during node creation the device properties are only copied if the node is created dynamically. With statically described nodes, the property entries in the descriptor (struct software_node) are assigned directly to the new software node that is being created without any copies.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

software node: Implement get_named_child_node fwnode callback This makes it possible to support drivers that use fwnode_get_named_child_node() and device_get_named_child_node() functions. The node name is for now taken from a device property named "name". That mimics the old style of naming of the nodes in devicetree (though with modern flattened DT, the name is matched against the actual node-name, it used to be done with a property "name"). In Open Firmware DT the "name" property is also still being used. Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

software node: Add support for static node descriptors Until now the software nodes could only be created dynamically with fwnode_create_software_node() function. This introduces struct software_node data structure, which makes it possible to describe the software nodes also statically. The statically described software nodes can be registered with a new function fwnode_register_software_node(). This also adds a helper fwnode_register_software_nodes() which makes it possible to register an array of struct software_nodes, i.e. multiple nodes at the same time.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework 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.

software node: Add support for static node descriptors Until now the software nodes could only be created dynamically with fwnode_create_software_node() function. This introduces struct software_node data structure, which makes it possible to describe the software nodes also statically. The statically described software nodes can be registered with a new function fwnode_register_software_node(). This also adds a helper fwnode_register_software_nodes() which makes it possible to register an array of struct software_nodes, i.e. multiple nodes at the same time. There is no difference between statically described and dynamically allocated software nodes. Even the registration does not differ, except that during node creation the device properties are only copied if the node is created dynamically. With statically described nodes, the property entries in the descriptor (struct software_node) are assigned directly to the new software node that is being created without any copies.
