Why are you not using it? Why do you consider using it to be "abuse"?

Of course, this is a consequence of the conversion into a platform device. > + > +/* > + * Table for matching compatible strings, for device tree > + * guts node, for Freescale QorIQ SOCs. > + */ > +static const struct of_device_id fsl_guts_of_match[] = { > + /* For T4 & B4 Series SOCs */ > + { .compatible = "fsl,qoriq-device-config-1.0", .data = "T4/B4 > series" }, [snip] > + { .compatible = "fsl,qoriq-device-config-2.0", .data = "P series" As noted in my comment on patch 3/4, these descriptions are reversed. They're also incomplete. t2080 has device config 2.0. t1040 is described as 2.0 though it should probably be 2.1 (or better, drop the generic compatible altogether). > + /* > + * syscon devices default to little-endian, but on powerpc we have > + * existing device trees with big-endian maps and an absent > endianess > + * "big-property" > + */ > + if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_POWERPC) && > + !of_property_read_bool(dev->of_node, "big-endian")) > + guts->little_endian = true; This is not a syscon device (Yangbo's patch to add a guts node on ls2080 is the only guts node that says "syscon", and that was a leftover from earlier revisions and should probably be removed). Even if it were, where is it documented that syscon defaults to little-endian? Documentation/devicetree/bindings/common-properties.txt says that the individual binding specifies the default. The default for this node should be big-endian because that's what existed before there was a need to describe the endianness. And we need an update to the guts binding to specify that. > + > + guts->regs = devm_ioremap_resource(dev, 0); > + if (!guts->regs) { > + ret = -ENOMEM; > + kfree(guts); > + goto out; > + } > + > + fsl_guts_init(dev, guts); > + ret = 0; > +out: > + return ret; > +} > + > +static struct platform_driver fsl_soc_guts = { > + .probe = fsl_guts_probe, > + .driver.of_match_table = fsl_guts_of_match, > +}; > + > +module_platform_driver(fsl_soc_guts); Again, this means that the information is not available during early boot, such as in the clock driver. Thus we would not be able to convert clk-qoriq's direct mfspr(SPRN_SVR) into an soc_device_match() (or anything else that makes use of this file), nor would we be able to move its access of the guts RCW registers into this driver. -Scott -- 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
