[PATCH 11/11] of: unify phandle name in struct device_node
In struct device_node, the phandle is named 'linux_phandle' for PowerPC
and MicroBlaze, and 'node' for SPARC. There is no good reason for the
difference, it is just an artifact of the code diverging over a couple
of years. This patch renames .node to .linux_phandle for SPARC.
Note: the .node also existed in PowerPC/MicroBlaze, but the only user
seems to be arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/pfunc_core.c. It doesn't
look like the assignment between .linux_phandle and .node is
significantly different enough to warrant the separate code paths
unless ibm,phandle properties actually appear in Apple device trees.
I think it is safe to eliminate the old .node property and use
linux_phandle everywhere.

I know it's just a name, but there is no reason to put linux in the member name. It's the real device phandle value from OpenFirmware not something invented by Linux's OF layer. I agree, and I also considered renaming it to simply 'phandle' or to change the powerpc code back to using .node everywhere (more on .node usage in powerpc below). I didn't want to use .node because .node is pretty generic, and is used in other places for different things. Basically I wanted to avoid confusion. In particular, .node points to a device_node, not a phandle, in struct of_device. Changing all references to simply 'phandle' seems to be the best, but it does require changes to more locations in the code. In the end I decided on some constructive lazyness by settling for the already-used .linux_phandle so that I would need to touch as many files, but still retain a unique name that is easy to find. If you prefer, I can change it all to simply '.phandle'. PowerPC uses this for something different, it records the information here using the special linux,phandle and ibm,phandle properties. Agreed, the phandle isn't a real phandle when using the flat tree. However, though the source of the phandle value is different, the use case is identical, so it make sense to stuff it into the same member. Merging them lets me unify more code. For example, of_find_node_by_phandle(). See unflatten_dt_node() in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c before your changes. Yup, I looked at this. The unflatten code stuffs both linux,phandle and ibm,phandle into .linux_phandle, and linux,phandle also gets stuffed into .node. But all the users except one use the .linux_phandle, not .node, and that remaining user *I think* can safely use .linux_phandle too. Thanks for the review, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.

But some devices, especially virtual devices, also have an ibm,phandle which may or may not be the same afaik. In addition, when the hypervisor hotplugs some devices, it sends us some new device-tree bits to add. Those don't have a phandle in the formal sense afaik, but -do- have an ibm,phandle property. I think we can always just use ibm,phandle instead of the OF one when the former is present, they should be non overlapping, but of course, any chance in that area will require plenty of testing on some of those machines.

If pseries is the troublesome platform, not powermac, then I'm pretty confident this change is okay. I cannot find any other users of .node other than arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/pfunc_core.c, but I'll double check with an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig. This patch shouldn't change the behaviour of linux_phandle at all. g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
