Hi, here is an implementation of the iterator over phandles concept which Rob Herring suggested to me some time ago. My approach is a little bit different from what the diff showed back then, but it gets rid of the allocation and 'struct 'struct of_phandle_args' misuse. I also converted the arm-smmu driver to make use of the iterator. The resulting kernel boots on my AMD Seattle system and fixes the warning triggered there. The patches now also pass all dt-unittests in my kvm environment. Please review. Patches are based on v4.5. Thanks, Joerg Changes since RFC post: * Reordered members of 'struct of_phandle_iterator' and did some renaming * Removed index counting from the iterator * Split up iterator implementation into multiple patches * Fixed the code to survive all dt-unittests, tested with each patch in this series * Re-added and updated some comments which got lost during the conversion. * Added of_for_each_phandle macro for easier handling * Moved the counting special-case from __of_parse_phandle_with_args directly to of_count_phandle_with_args for code simplification * Removed some iterator helper functions * Formatting and style changes Joerg Roedel (6): of: Introduce struct of_phandle_iterator of: Move phandle walking to of_phandle_iterator_next() of: Remove counting special case from __of_parse_phandle_with_args() of: Introduce of_for_each_phandle() helper macro of: Introduce of_phandle_iterator_args() iommu/arm-smmu: Make use of phandle iterators in device-tree parsing drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c | 28 +++++-- drivers/of/base.c | 206 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- include/linux/of.h | 56 +++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 211 insertions(+), 79 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
