This patch adds the to_power_supply macro to upcast a device to a power_supply struct. This is needed because the same piece of code using container_of is used in various other places, so we abstract away such low-level operations via a macro. --- v9: * Split the pm changes from the thinkpad_acpi patch into its own patch v10: * No changes in this patch in v10 Signed-off-by: Ognjen Galic <smclt30p@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c | 2 +- include/linux/power_supply.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c b/drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c index 82f998a..feac7b0 100644 --- a/drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c +++ b/drivers/power/supply/power_supply_core.c @@ -668,7 +668,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(power_supply_powers); static void power_supply_dev_release(struct device *dev) { - struct power_supply *psy = container_of(dev, struct power_supply, dev); + struct power_supply *psy = to_power_supply(dev); dev_dbg(dev, "%s\n", __func__); kfree(psy); } diff --git a/include/linux/power_supply.h b/include/linux/power_supply.h index 79e90b3..f0139b4 100644 --- a/include/linux/power_supply.h +++ b/include/linux/power_supply.h @@ -371,6 +371,8 @@ devm_power_supply_register_no_ws(struct device *parent, extern void power_supply_unregister(struct power_supply *psy); extern int power_supply_powers(struct power_supply *psy, struct device *dev); +#define to_power_supply(device) container_of(device, struct power_supply, dev) + extern void *power_supply_get_drvdata(struct power_supply *psy); /* For APM emulation, think legacy userspace. */ extern struct class *power_supply_class; -- 2.7.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ ibm-acpi-devel mailing list ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ibm-acpi-devel
