Introduce a new helper to tell if device (node) is compatible to the given string value. This will help some drivers to get rid of unneeded OF APIs/etc and in may help others to be agnostic to OF/ACPI. While doing it, I have noticed that ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS() macro seems defined in unsuitable location. Move it to the better one. Last patch is an example of what the first two are doing. The entire series can go, I believe, via ACPI (linux-pm) tree in case the last patch gets tag from the respective maintainer. In v2: - updated commit message and added kernel doc for a new API (Greg) - also replaced acpi_device_get_match_data() with the agnostic API - tried to keep header inclusions ordered (to some extent) Andy Shevchenko (3): ACPI: Move ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS() to mod_devicetable.h device property: Implement device_is_compatible() ata: ahci_platform: Make code agnostic to OF/ACPI drivers/ata/ahci_platform.c | 8 ++++---- include/linux/acpi.h | 14 -------------- include/linux/mod_devicetable.h | 13 +++++++++++++ include/linux/property.h | 12 ++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) -- 2.40.0.1.gaa8946217a0b
