Device-Tree compact API ------------------------ Common code seen in driver’s probe reads device tree values and handling erroneous return codes from all those of_property_read_xxx() APIs. This common code is factored out by the of_property_map module which allows driver’s probe to replace that (often lengthy) code with a concise table: struct of_prop_map map[] = { {"i2c", &dev->id, OF_REQ, OF_ID, -1}, {"qcom,clk-freq-out", &dev->clk_freq_out, OF_REQ, OF_U32, 0}, {"qcom,clk-freq-in", &dev->clk_freq_in, OF_REQ, OF_U32, 0}, {"qcom,disable-dma", &dev->disable_dma, OF_OPT, OF_BOOL, 0}, {"qcom,master-id", &dev->mstr_id, OF_SGST, OF_U32, 0}, {NULL, NULL, 0, 0, 0}, }; Then call populate to read the values into the device’s variables: ret = of_prop_populate(dev, dev->of_node, map); An equivalent code snippet using the traditional of_property_read_XXXX() API. Note that the equivalent is longer and more difficult to follow and debug: /* optional property */ dev->disable_dma = of_property_read_bool(node, "qcom,disable-dma"); ret = of_property_read_u32(dev->node, "qcom,clk-freq-out", &dev->clk_freq_out); if (ret) { dev_err(dev, "error: missing 'qcom,clk-freq-out' DT property\n"); if (!err) err = ret; } ret = of_property_read_u32(dev->node, "qcom,clk-freq-in", &dev->clk_freq_in); if (ret) { dev_err(dev, "error: missing 'qcom,clk-freq-in' DT property\n"); if (!err) err = ret; } /* suggested property */ ret = of_property_read_u32(dev->node, "qcom,master-id", &dev->mstr_id); if (ret && !err) err = ret; ret = of_alias_get_id(dev->node, "i2c"); if (ret < 0) { dev_err(dev, "error: missing '"i2c"' DT property\n"); if (!err) err = ret; } else { dev->id = ret; } The Device-Tree node and alias which are read by the above code snippets: aliases { i2c0 = &i2c_0; /* I2C0 controller device */ }; i2c_0: i2c@78b6000 { /* BLSP1 QUP2 */ compatible = "qcom,i2c-msm-v2"; reg-names = "qup_phys_addr", "bam_phys_addr"; reg = <0x78b6000 0x600>, <0x7884000 0x23000>; qcom,clk-freq-out = <100000>; qcom,clk-freq-in = <19200000>; qcom,disable-dma; qcom,master-id = <86>; }; Gilad Avidov (1): of_propery_map: compact interface for Device-Tree Documentation/devicetree/of_property_map.txt | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/of/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/of/of_property_map.c | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/of_property_map.h | 74 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 239 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/of_property_map.txt create mode 100644 drivers/of/of_property_map.c create mode 100644 include/linux/of_property_map.h -- The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- 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
