This is a very relevant comment and I did look for ways to handle this
as I came up with the patch.
I think the typical mechanism would be to allow @matches to be NULL, in
which case we iterate over objects and return the number of matches, so
that the caller can allocate an appropriately sized array and call the
API again.
But the "match" function simply returns a pointer to something and
looking at the example of the typec_{mux,switch} this pointer points to
a member of an object which has a struct device which is refcounted.
As such, we can't simply discard the returned object. We have to pass it
back to the caller, whom knows what "match" did and is able to reverse
that.
I looked at changing the callback and I looked at using krealloc() to
grow an array dynamically.
But looking at the use case in mind; finding entities that might need to
react to a USB Type-C event I have a need for 2 matches, and 3 seems
plausible. Beyond that the largest of_graph I have ever dealt with has 6
endpoints.
While it isn't relevant to use this API for my 6-endpoint case, it would
result in @matches having to be 48 bytes of pointers. And once the call
returns, the actual number of pointers needed is known and the long-term
storage can be re-allocated as necessary based on the return value.
As such, I dropped the idea of making something fancier and more
dynamic, for the sake of simplicity. Perhaps I'm missing some cool use
case where this is infeasible?
