I had some problems figuring out the naming scheme here, but btqcomsmd
does seem reasonable, I'll update it in the next set.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in the patch that the patch depends on the
qcom_smd_id patch - that's available in linux-next. I will take another
look, but I think that was the cause of all the issues.

Nothing fishy going on here, so I'll drop it.

There's two channels coming up, each probing the associated driver that
combines these into 1 hci device.

So I have two options;

* the original idea was to implement multi-channel-per-device support in
  SMD, but as this is the only known case where that's needed I really
  don't want to add all the extra complexity to SMD.

* I can accept the fact that this is silicon inside the MSM SoC and
  should never exist in more than one instance and make this hack. The
  first version I implemented had this structure allocated on the first
  probe, but that didn't really add any value to the static struct.

I picked the second option due to the fact that the patch to SMD was way
bigger then this patch, and full of nasty logic.

This is being called from IRQ context upon receiving data on the
channels.

A memcpy here doesn't seem to work on ARM64, probably because the
pointer references ioremapped memory. We are discussing either marking
the data __iomem or perhaps using memremap rather then ioremap.

Must have looked in the wrong kernel tree :(

I'm puzzled to the purpose of this, is this only for indication to user
space or am I missing something?

I found a couple of others that does nothing but set and clear this bit
in their open and close. Would you be open for a framework patch that
provides this functionality to drivers that doesn't need anything else?

There seems to be no persistent storage at all in this chip, the BD_ADDR
being used comes from one of the firmware files, so this just adjust the
in-memory configuration.

I did see this, and I first implemented it like that. Unfortunately the
firmware does not ack the command and __hci_cmd_sync() just times out.

I didn't manage to find a way around this.

Looks to be exactly the same thing and gives insight in what those first
5 bytes are. I'll update the magics based on this information.

If I didn't have the issue of the timeout it seems like I should be able
to just call it.

Right, I would need to at least fill in my own init and exit functions
with the two registers/unregisters calls...

The first iteration had 1 probe, 1 remove and 1 callback. I pulled the
match-data in probe and made the rest use this information by drvdata.
It was the same blocks of code as now, but accessed via the wrapper
drvdata object - so although one shouldn't do like this, this is much
cleaner.

Indeed, as I said above the plan was to implement something where I
either only probe when all channels where up (turned out to be a mess to
implement) or have some accessor function that can be called from probe
to open a second channel.

The latter seems reasonable to do, but it will be way more code than
there's in this driver - which seems to be the only case where that
feature would be needed.

Sure thing.
