The vgem driver does not need to create a platform device, as there is no real platform resources associated it, it only did so because it was simple to do that in order to get a device to use for resource management of drm resources. Change the driver to use the faux device instead as this is NOT a real platform device.

For an example of the api working, does not have to be merged at this time, but I can take it if the maintainers give an ack. drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c | 30 +++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c index 2752ab4f1c97..2a50c0b76fac 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ #include <linux/dma-buf.h> #include <linux/module.h> -#include <linux/platform_device.h> +#include <linux/device/faux.h> #include <linux/shmem_fs.h> #include <linux/vmalloc.h> @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ static struct vgem_device { struct drm_device drm; - struct platform_device *platform; + struct faux_device *faux_dev; } *vgem_device; static int vgem_open(struct drm_device *dev, struct drm_file *file) @@ -127,27 +127,27 @@ static const struct drm_driver vgem_driver = { static int __init vgem_init(void) { int ret; - struct platform_device *pdev; + struct faux_device *fdev; - pdev = platform_device_register_simple("vgem", -1, NULL, 0); - if (IS_ERR(pdev)) - return PTR_ERR(pdev); + fdev = faux_device_create("vgem", NULL); + if (!fdev) + return -ENODEV; - if (!devres_open_group(&pdev->dev, NULL, GFP_KERNEL)) { + if (!devres_open_group(&fdev->dev, NULL, GFP_KERNEL)) { ret = -ENOMEM; goto out_unregister; } - dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, + dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(&fdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); - vgem_device = devm_drm_dev_alloc(&pdev->dev, &vgem_driver, + vgem_device = devm_drm_dev_alloc(&fdev->dev, &vgem_driver, struct vgem_device, drm); if (IS_ERR(vgem_device)) { ret = PTR_ERR(vgem_device); goto out_devres; } - vgem_device->platform = pdev; + vgem_device->faux_dev = fdev; /* Final step: expose the device/driver to userspace */ ret = drm_dev_register(&vgem_device->drm, 0); @@ -157,19 +157,19 @@ static int __init vgem_init(void) return 0; out_devres: - devres_release_group(&pdev->dev, NULL); + devres_release_group(&fdev->dev, NULL); out_unregister: - platform_device_unregister(pdev); + faux_device_destroy(fdev); return ret; } static void __exit vgem_exit(void) { - struct platform_device *pdev = vgem_device->platform; + struct faux_device *fdev = vgem_device->faux_dev; drm_dev_unregister(&vgem_device->drm); - devres_release_group(&pdev->dev, NULL); - platform_device_unregister(pdev); + devres_release_group(&fdev->dev, NULL); + faux_device_destroy(fdev); } module_init(vgem_init); -- 2.48.1
