Hi Daniel,
In drm_drv.c, in the "DOC: driver instance overview" section,
it would help a lot, if you could add/summarize/clarify,
succinctly, the two paths, device instantiation:
devm_drm_dev_alloc(); ...
drm_dev_init(); ...
drm_dev_register(); ...
And, device destruction, and where/how the "release"
method of drm_driver plays out.
The allocation part is mostly there, that's good,
but the release/destruction part is not. That is,
the platform driver callbacks are there, but not
the DRM driver part. In this patch, there is no
mention of drm_dev_init(), and the documentation
update of this patch doesn't mention it, while
it is being used by at least one driver.
If, on the other hand, you're thinking of removing
the "release" callback, a lucid explanation on
kref reaching 0--what should be done by DRM
and what should be done by drivers, would be very nice
and helpful to low-level DRM device driver maintainers/writers.
Also, consider renaming "drm_add_action()" to something
qualifying the action: either a bitmask as an argument,
or right in the name, "drm_add_action_release()", else
one begs the question "What action?"
It would be helpful, to describe the order of "release"
actions on kref reaching 0, and what is expected of
DRM and what of drivers, in the order of the expected
callbacks.
Regards,
Luben
