I think I like this approach in general, I already thought about not
passing all parameters as function/macro arguments, too. But maybe this
becomes too excessive for imx as I would need too many of these device
desc for the different imx variants?!
Anyhow a few things I thought when looking in the files you suggested:
- Why not use an array for all uart devdescs, maybe the code for
pxa168_add_uart could become a bit smaller then?:
extern struct pxa_device_desc pxa168_device_uart[2];
...
static inline int pxa168_add_uart(int id)
{
struct pxa_device_desc *d = pxa168_device_uart + id;
if (id < 0 || id > 2)
return -EINVAL;
return pxa_register_device(d, NULL, 0);
}
(Ditto for the other types obviously.)
- shouldn't all these pxa_device_descs and pxa168_add_$device functions
be __initdata and __init?
- pxa_register_device is better than my add_resndata function in (at
least) one aspect as it sets coherent_dma_mask, too. This is
something I missed when trying to add mxc-mmc (IIRC) devices.
Thanks
Uwe
