I think this deserves a comment explaining why we (ab)use driver_data
like this.
Sure, could add. I didn't see any other way for the acpi_device
structure to
reference the derived PNP device.
TBH, This overall approach is not good since we are creating the PNP
device
in the scan, and then leaving the device in limbo, waiting for the
parent to
add it, if at all. There's no rule for this.
So I'm looking for ideas on how to improve this.
Hi Mika,
One idea is to make pnpacpi_add_device() available outside of PNP and
call it directly (or some variation) in hisi_lpc.c when it walks over
its children.
I did consider this initially and it seems quite straightforward.
However I think the problem is that we would need to modify the
acpi_device child resources from FW with kernel-specific resources,
which does not seem right (I think that is what you meant). As I see,
this is one reason that we went in the direction of modelling the host
as an MFD, as we could set the resources of the mfd_cells.
So adding a variant of pnpacpi_add_device() could work, or modifying
pnpacpi_add_device() to accept a callback to translate the resources.
But this feature is specific to our very special requirement...
Hi Andy, Mika,
I have spent a bit of time looking at this PNP support issue, and I
still can't find a good solution.
So - as discussed - I could add the call to pnpacpi_add_device(), but I
would need a method to defer the pnp dev probe before resources fixup.
As a alternative solution, I could add a callback pointer to
pnpacpi_add_device(), for the caller to do the fixup, but this is quite
arbitrary in the PNP code.
As an alternative, I am strongly considering this patch instead of
adding PNP support:

Subject: [PATCH] HISI LPC: Add special handling for 8250-compatible UART
For APCI support, for each each child device on the host
LPC bus we create an mfd_cell, and, as such, we create a
platform device per ACPI child. This creates a problem
in 8250-compatible device support.
Currently the kernel does not support an suitable 8250-
compatible driver for the UART device on the LPC bus on
the Huawei D03 board, which has the following profile/
requirements:
- 16550 device
- platform_driver for ACPI device
- IO space iotype
- polling mode
In principle we should use the 8250_pnp driver for 8250-
compatible devices with ACPI firmware. However the host
driver does not support PNP devices, and the work is not
worth the effort to rework the host driver and PNP code
to support such a device.
As a alternate solution, add special UART handling to use
the 8250 isa generic driver for this one-off device.
