Outside of initialization, all uses of the platform device pointer stored in the IPA structure determine the address of device structure embedded within the platform device structure. By changing some of the initialization functions to take a platform device as argument we can simplify getting at the device structure address by storing it (instead of the platform device pointer) in the IPA structure. The first two patches split the interrupt initialization code into two parts--one done earlier than before. The next four patches update some initialization functions to take a platform device pointer as argument. And the last patch replaces the platform device pointer with a device pointer, and converts all remaining references to the &ipa->pdev->dev to use ipa->dev. -Alex Alex Elder (7): net: ipa: change ipa_interrupt_config() prototype net: ipa: introduce ipa_interrupt_init() net: ipa: pass a platform device to ipa_reg_init() net: ipa: pass a platform device to ipa_mem_init() net: ipa: pass a platform device to ipa_smp2p_irq_init() net: ipa: pass a platform device to ipa_smp2p_init() net: ipa: don't save the platform device drivers/net/ipa/ipa.h | 5 ++- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_cmd.c | 6 ++-- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_endpoint.c | 29 ++++++++------- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_interrupt.c | 64 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/net/ipa/ipa_interrupt.h | 22 +++++++++--- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_main.c | 60 +++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/net/ipa/ipa_mem.c | 37 ++++++++++--------- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_mem.h | 5 ++- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_modem.c | 14 ++++---- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_power.c | 4 +-- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_qmi.c | 10 +++--- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_reg.c | 8 ++--- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_reg.h | 4 ++- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_smp2p.c | 33 ++++++++--------- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_smp2p.h | 7 ++-- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_table.c | 18 +++++----- drivers/net/ipa/ipa_uc.c | 9 +++-- 17 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) -- 2.40.1
