Why not set err = -EINVAL inside the if, rather than setting it to an error value here by default, then having to over-write it at the end of the function? > +static void __of_phandle_iter_set(struct of_phandle_iter *iter, This is only used in one place; why not simply inline this into of_phandle_iter_start()? It would make the code simpler. > +void of_phandle_iter_start(struct of_phandle_iter *iter, > + iter->cells_name = cells_name; > + iter->cell_count = cell_count; Why not pass these values into of_phandle_iter_next() instead? There's no need to pass them just to _start() so they can be read by _next() instead. > diff --git a/include/linux/of.h b/include/linux/of.h > +/* > + * keep the state at iterating a list of phandles with variable number > + * of args > + */ > +struct of_phandle_iter { > + int err; > + const __be32 *cur; /* current phandle */ > + const __be32 *end; /* end of the last phandle */ Can't you detect an error case by e.g. (cur == NULL) and thus avoid requiring an explicit err field? Together with removing: > + const char *cells_name; > + int cell_count; ... then you'd only be left with cur/end, so I think you could get away without a struct at all, but simply "cur" as the iterator variable, plus "end" as the one temp variable. -- 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
