Changelog: v2: Rebased the patchset on top of drm-next rather than Linus' latest -rc
A few drivers in drivers/gpu/drm are component-enabled and use quite similar code sequences to probe for their encoder slaves at the remote end of the ports. Move the code into a "generic" function and remove it from the drivers. The end results is that drivers get a reference count fix (imx), more thorough error checking (imx again), setting the DMA coherent mask (armada) plus a decrease in the overall count of LoC. I'm looking for comments and testing of the patchset (only compile tested from my end as I don't have access to all the devices touched by the changes). My main interest is in finding out if -EINVAL is the correct code to return if dev->of_node == NULL (handy now, as it is different from the other possible error codes and used in armada to trigger old platform_data support. Also looking for thoughts on the correctness of the patch and if it possible to co-opt more drivers into using the function. Best regards, Liviu Liviu Dudau (4): drm: Introduce generic probe function for component based masters. drm/imx: Convert the probe function to the generic drm_of_component_probe() drm/rockchip: Convert the probe function to the generic drm_of_component_probe() drm/armada: Convert the probe function to the generic drm_of_component_probe() drivers/gpu/drm/armada/armada_drv.c | 73 +++++++---------------- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_of.c | 92 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-drm-core.c | 54 +---------------- drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_drv.c | 86 ++------------------------- include/drm/drm_of.h | 12 ++++ 5 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 184 deletions(-) -- 2.6.0 -- 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/
