This set of patches expands the VMBus driver to include device tree
support. This feature allows for a kernel boot without the use of ACPI
tables, resulting in a smaller memory footprint and potentially faster
boot times. This is tested by enabling CONFIG_FLAT and OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
for x86.
The first two patches enable compilation of Hyper-V APIs in a non-ACPI
build.
The third patch converts the VMBus driver from acpi to more generic
platform driver.
The fourth patch introduces the device tree documentation for VMBus.
The fifth patch adds device tree support to the VMBus driver. Currently
this is tested only for x86 and it may not work for other archs.
[V8]
- Remove the auto select of CONFIG_OF
- Remove the dependency on !ACPI for OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
- Used acpi_disabled instead of #ifdef and hence added a dummy function
for vmbus_acpi_add
- GFP_ATOMIC -> GFP_KERNEL
- used range.flags instead of hard coding flags
- used __maybe_unused for acpi device id, removed #ifdef
[V7]
- Use cpu_addr instead of bus_addr.
- Updated Documentation accordingly.
[V6]
- define acpi_sleep_state_supported in acpi header for !ACPI,
dropped the changes done in hv_common.c under #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
- "Devicetree" instead of "device tree"
- Remove initialize of ret
- set "np = pdev->dev.of_node;" on declarartion
- remove one error print
- use bus_addr instead of pci_addr
[V5]
- Removed #else for device tree parsing code. This should help better
test coverage.
- Fix macro '__maybe_unused' warning
- Added below options in Kconfig to enable device tree options for HYPERV
select OF if !ACPI
select OF_EARLY_FLATTREE if !ACPI
- moved dt documantation to bus folder
- update the dt node to have 'bus' as parent node instead of 'soc'. Also
added compatible and ranges property for parent node.
- Made sure dt_binding_check have no error/varnings for microsoft,vmbus.yaml file
- Fix commit messages and add Reviwed-by from Michael for first 3 patches
[V4]
- rebased which fixed return type of 'vmbus_mmio_remove' from int to void
- used __maybe_unused for 'vmbus_of_match' and safeguard vmbus_acpi_device_ids
under #ifdef
[V3]
- Changed the logic to use generic api (for_each_of_range) for parsing "ranges".
- Remove dependency of ACPI for HYPERV in case of x86.
- Removed "device tree bindings" from title and patch subject.
- Removed duplicate vendor prefix, used microsoft instead of msft.
- Use 'soc' in example of device tree documantation for parent node.
- Fixed compatible schemas error generated in other modules referring to
virtio.
- Drop hex notation and leading zeros from device tree cell properties.
- Added missing full stop at the end of commit message.
- Typos fix: s/Initaly/Initially/ and s/hibernate/hibernation/.
- Replace to_acpi_device with ACPI_COMPANION which simplify the logic.
- Added more info in cover letter aboutsystem under test.
[v2]
- Convert VMBus acpi device to platform device, and added device tree support
in separate patch. This enables using same driver structure for both the flows.
- In Device tree documentation, changed virtio folder to hypervisor and moved
VMBus documentation there.
- Moved bindings before Device tree patch.
- Removed stale ".data" and ".name" field from of_device match table.
- Removed debug print.
