We need to carry some information per host, e.g. the clock. Add a
structure for it and initialize it in the generic part. Also do not use
the parent of the platform_device (if it is available), this breaks the
clock-matching on ARM.

The reason it's there is for instance a case when the shdci device is exposed
from a MFD device which sits on top of PCI. Then the parent (PCI device)
is the device that is DMA capable. This patch will break such usage.

I feared that there is a reason. The problem I see is now, that the parent gets
always set (from drivers/base/platform.c):

Then we obviously need to pass more information in the platform_data to be able
to chose which device to be used.


So, sdhci-plftm cannot access the platform_data connected to the original
platform_device via host->mmc->parent.

You're right it wouldn't. But isn't it a bit risky even if you could access it,
in the long the platform_data coild point to something that is in the __devinit 
section
or similar?
What about extend the struct you defined with the pieces needed, and access it 
via
sdhci_priv?

What is the purpose of this patch? You allocate space for an extra struct,
which you have a pointer pointing to, but you never use the pointer?

We want to extend sdhci-pltfm to support the various sdhci-cores on (for now
mainly) ARM platforms. A number of those cores need board specific information
to be used in a custom init()-call, which shall be passed via platform_data.
The pointer will be used in the platform specific extensions.

Sounds good.

Regards,
Richard

Changes since last version:

* added types.h

I saw no types.h?

In the second chunk, the include file.

Thanks,

    Wolfram


* removed usage of pdev->dev.parent to ensure clk-matching
   Please speak up if this has a use case I failed to see!
