Are we sure we don't have any instances left of the pattern that
used to be common (typically for drivers where dt tables were added
later) of
chip_info = device_get_match_data();
if (!chip_info) {
chip_info = arrayofchipinfo[id->driver_data];
}
Looks like the first driver I checked, iio/adc/max1363.c does
this still and will I think break with this series.
Or am I missing some reason this isn't a problem?
Clearly this only matters if we get to the bus callback, but
enabling that is the whole point of this series. Hence
I think a lot of auditing is needed before this can be safely applied.
