While back to the question you ask, I want etnaviv_create_platform_device() to be generic,
can be used by multiple place for multiple purpose.
I have successfully copy this to a another drm driver by simply renaming.
The body of the function itself does not need to change.
But it isn't shared,
This can be shared for drm/etnaviv in the future,
currently, we just need an opportunity to use this function.
I want to create a dummy platform device,
let this dummy platform be bound to the single PCI GPU master.
etnaviv_create_platform_device("dummy", &dummy_device);
1) To verify the component code path on PCI case.
2) Possibly for create a device for some other tiny hardware logic
come with the platform
3) Revival component_compare_dev_name() function.
in this compilation unit this function is specific
to the etnaviv driver and I don't see why we shouldn't have etnaviv
specifics in there if it makes the code of this driver easier to
follow.
