For simple modules that contain a single platform_driver without any additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated boilerplate. This patch adds a new macro, module_platform_driver_probe(), which replaces the module_init()/module_exit() registrations with template functions. This macro use the same idea of module_platform_driver(). This macro is useful to stop the misuse of module_platform_driver() for removing the platform_driver_probe() boilerplate.
Convert drivers/usb/* and drivers/watchdog/* to use module_platform_driver_probe(). Best regards Fabio Porcedda (3): driver core: add helper macro for platform_driver_probe() boilerplate watchdog: convert drivers/watchdog/* to use module_platform_driver_probe usb: converto drivers/usb/* to use module_platform_driver_probe() drivers/usb/gadget/at91_udc.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/gadget/atmel_usba_udc.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/gadget/fusb300_udc.c | 13 +------------ drivers/usb/gadget/imx_udc.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/gadget/lpc32xx_udc.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/gadget/m66592-udc.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/gadget/pxa25x_udc.c | 15 +++------------ drivers/usb/gadget/r8a66597-udc.c | 15 ++------------- drivers/usb/otg/gpio_vbus.c | 12 +----------- drivers/usb/otg/msm_otg.c | 13 +------------ drivers/watchdog/at32ap700x_wdt.c | 12 +----------- drivers/watchdog/at91sam9_wdt.c | 13 +------------ drivers/watchdog/coh901327_wdt.c | 12 +----------- drivers/watchdog/imx2_wdt.c | 12 +----------- drivers/watchdog/txx9wdt.c | 13 +------------ include/linux/platform_device.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 16 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 172 deletions(-) -- 1.8.0.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
