You must write a device tree binding document for this. Please see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt. > +static int arcxcnn_parse_dt(struct arcxcnn *lp) > +{ > + struct device *dev = lp->dev; > + struct device_node *node = dev->of_node; > + u32 prog_length; > + > + if (!node) { > + dev_err(dev, "no platform data\n"); > + return -EINVAL; > + } > + > + of_property_read_string(node, "bl-name", &lp->pdata->name); > + of_property_read_u16(node, "init-brt", &lp->pdata->initial_brightness); > + of_property_read_u32(node, "pwm-period", &lp->pdata->period_ns); > + > + if (lp->pdata->initial_brightness > MAX_BRIGHTNESS) > + lp->pdata->initial_brightness = MAX_BRIGHTNESS; > + > + /* Fill program from platform data if defined > + */ > + lp->pdata->prog_entries = 0; > + prog_length = of_get_child_count(node); > + if (prog_length > 0) { > + struct device_node *child; > + u32 i = 0; > + > + for_each_child_of_node(node, child) { > + if (i >= ARCXCNN_MAX_PROGENTRIES) > + break; > + of_property_read_u8(child, "prg-addr", &lp->pdata->prog_addr[i]); > + of_property_read_u8(child, "prg-data", &lp->pdata->prog_data[i]); Don't bother using u8. The DTB is padded to u32 boundaries anyway, so this just adds an additional burden on DT authors to use /bits/ 8 consistently, which inevitably someone will get wrong. > +static int arcxcnn_probe(struct i2c_client *cl, const struct i2c_device_id *id) > +{ > + struct arcxcnn *lp; > + int ret; > + u32 i; > + u8 regval; > + u16 chipid; > + > + if (!i2c_check_functionality(cl->adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA)) > + return -EIO; > + > + lp = devm_kzalloc(&cl->dev, sizeof(struct arcxcnn), GFP_KERNEL); Nit: sizeof(*lp) is the preferred style. > +static const struct of_device_id arcxcnn_dt_ids[] = { > + { .compatible = "arc,arcxcnn", }, > + { } > +}; > +MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, arcxcnn_dt_ids); Thanks, Mark. -- 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
