Resources in the sdw_intel_link_dev which are sdw_intel_link_res. They should be resources for auxdev and if you do that lets you get rid of this abstraction. > > this is just a container_of() and the documented way of extending the auxbus > (see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/auxiliary_bus.html#example-usage) > > > struct sdw_intel_link_dev { > struct auxiliary_device auxdev; > struct sdw_intel_link_res link_res; > }; > > #define auxiliary_dev_to_sdw_intel_link_dev(auxiliary_dev) \ > container_of(auxiliary_dev, struct sdw_intel_link_dev, auxdev) > > > > > struct sdw_intel *sdw; > > > > struct sdw_cdns *cdns; > > > > struct sdw_bus *bus; > > > > @@ -1346,14 +1347,14 @@ static int intel_master_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > > > > cdns = &sdw->cdns; > > > > bus = &cdns->bus; > > > > - sdw->instance = pdev->id; > > > > - sdw->link_res = dev_get_platdata(dev); > > > > + sdw->instance = auxdev->id; > > > > > > so auxdev has id and still we pass id as argument :( Not sure if folks > > > can fix this now > > > > That's odd, yeah, it should be fixed. > > I think we are talking about different things? > > this is defined in mod_devicetable.h: > > struct auxiliary_device_id { > char name[AUXILIARY_NAME_SIZE]; > kernel_ulong_t driver_data; > }; > > and used for the driver probe: > > ret = auxdrv->probe(auxdev, auxiliary_match_id(auxdrv->id_table, auxdev)); > > but there is a separate id: > > struct auxiliary_device { > struct device dev; > const char *name; > u32 id; > }; > > which is set during the device initialization in intel_init.c > > /* we don't use an IDA since we already have a link ID */ > auxdev->id = link_id; > > In the auxiliary bus design, the parent has to take care of managing this > id, be it with an IDA or as we do here with a physical link ID that is > unique. Aha, maybe both of them should not be 'id' to avoid this confusion! That also reminds me that we have duplicate info: + sdw->instance = auxdev->id; + bus->link_id = auxdev->id; drop the local driver instance and use bus->link_id please > in short, I don't see how I could change the code given the differences in > concepts? -- ~Vinod
