This doesn't have to be as convoluted as PCI is. The VFIO platform driver already has a pointer to the actual object in vdev->pdev.dev. This is really as simple as calling _RST method on the passed oject at the last step below. We don't need to create a dynamic list like PCI does. This is how the driver gets called. echo vfio-platform | tee -a /sys/bus/platform/devices/QCOM8061:00/driver_override echo QCOM8061:00 | tee -a /sys/bus/platform/devices/QCOM8061:00/driver/unbind echo QCOM8061:00 |tee -a /sys/bus/platform/drivers_probe I'll post a patch as soon as I test it. -- Sinan Kaya Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. on behalf of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
