In order to be able to create new nodes and properties dynamically from drivers, add of_property_alloc/free() and of_node_alloc(). These functions can be used to create new nodes and properties flagged with OF_DYNAMIC and to free them. Some powerpc code was already doing such operations and thus, these functions have been used to replace the manual creation of nodes and properties. --- Changes in V2: - Remove of_node_free() - Rework property allocation to allocate both property and value with 1 allocation - Rework node allocation to allocate name at the same time the node is allocated - Remove extern from definitions - Remove of_property_alloc() value_len parameter and add more explanation for the arguments - Add a check in of_property_free to check OF_DYNAMIC flag - Add a commit which constify the property argument of of_property_check_flags() Clément Léger (4): of: constify of_property_check_flags() prop argument of: dynamic: add of_property_alloc() and of_property_free() of: dynamic: add of_node_alloc() powerpc/pseries: use of_property_alloc/free() and of_node_alloc() arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c | 51 +------ .../platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c | 21 +-- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c | 45 ++---- drivers/of/dynamic.c | 134 ++++++++++++------ drivers/of/of_private.h | 21 ++- include/linux/of.h | 25 +++- 6 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) -- 2.36.0
