> For anyone new to the underlying goal of this cleanup, we are trying to > make driver code consistent with the Makefiles/Kconfigs that control them. > > This means not using modular functions/macros for drivers that can never > be built as a module. Some of the other downfalls this leads to are: > > (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code > (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be > modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it > (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn > includes nearly everything else, thus adding to CPP overhead. > (4) it gets copied/replicated into other drivers and spreads like weeds. > > There are quite a few in the mfd space, so rather than send a large > series, I'll try and batch them up into reasonable sized queues. To that > end, here we fix up all the maxim drivers as the 1st mfd batch. > > As always, the option exists for someone with the hardware and the desire > to extend the functionality to make any given driver tristate. But given > the number of these tree wide and the fact that I can't test that new > extended functionality in all cases, I just make the code consistent with > the existing Kconfig/Makefile settings that restrict them to "bool". > > Build tested on linux-next for arm, arm64 and x86-64 to ensure no typos > or similar issues crept in. > > Paul. > --- > > Cc: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.c...@samsung.com> > Cc: Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhu...@marvell.com> > Cc: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlow...@samsung.com> > Cc: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.p...@samsung.com> > Cc: Lee Jones <lee.jo...@linaro.org> > Cc: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo....@samsung.com> > Cc: Samuel Ortiz <sa...@linux.intel.com> > > Paul Gortmaker (7): > drivers/mfd: make max8925-i2c.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max8997.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max8998.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max14577.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max77686.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max77693.c explicitly non-modular > drivers/mfd: make max77843.c explicitly non-modular > > drivers/mfd/max14577.c | 13 +------------ > drivers/mfd/max77686.c | 26 ++------------------------ > drivers/mfd/max77693.c | 34 +++------------------------------- > drivers/mfd/max77843.c | 24 ++---------------------- > drivers/mfd/max8925-i2c.c | 14 +------------- > drivers/mfd/max8997.c | 30 +++--------------------------- > drivers/mfd/max8998.c | 27 +-------------------------- > 7 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 155 deletions(-) > -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
