So here's the list of headers, for quick reference.
dpbp.h
dpcon-cmd.h
dpmng.h
dprc.h
mc-bus.h
mc-cmd.h
mc-sys.h
mc.h
And here's a proposal on how to reorganize them:
- dpbp.h (together with dbbp.c) be left behind in staging as they are
not used by the bus itself but by the drivers probing on this bus.
They will be moved out of staging at a later time.
- same for dpcon-cmd.h. Will handle it when we'll start work on
getting dpcon.c & dpcon.h out of staging.
- dprc.h contains APIs for handling mc-bus "device containers" that are
managed by the mc-bus driver itself. I'd leave this as is, but i
think i can make it private.
- regarding the multiple mc*.h files, i'll see what it takes to
refactor them in a mc-bus.h + mc-bus-private.h
- dpmng.h merged in the public header
Regarding the future plans for dpbp.h and dpcon.h, these expose common
APIs used throughout all the drivers, so i think it makes sense to leave
them as they are and, when their time comes, move them in the public
include/linux/fsl.
