Typically, one would define a struct ab3100 structure containing all of those. Then, at device probe time you dynamically allocate one of those structure, and linke your i2c client to it through i2c_set_clientdata(). This would make your driver look much better. > +/* Event handling */ > +struct event { > + struct list_head node; > + struct device *dev; > + struct ab3100_event_mask event_mask; > + void *client_data; > + void (*cb_handler)(struct ab3100_event_mask, void *client_data); > +}; > +/* The event list */ > +static DEFINE_MUTEX(event_list_mutex); > +static LIST_HEAD(subscribers); > +/* Save the first reading of the event registers */ > +static struct ab3100_event_mask startup_event_mask; > +static bool startup_events_read; > + > +u8 ab3100_get_chip_type() > +{ > + u8 chip = ABUNKNOWN; > + > + switch (ab3100_chip_id & 0xf0) { > + case 0xa0: > + chip = AB3000; > + break; > + case 0xc0: > + chip = AB3100; > + break; > + } > + return chip; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(ab3100_get_chip_type); > + > +int ab3100_set_register(u8 reg, u8 regval) > +{ > + u8 regandval[2] = {reg, regval}; > + struct i2c_msg msgs[1]; > + int err = 0; > + > + if (!ab3100_initialized) > + return -ENODEV; > + > + msgs[0].addr = ab3100_i2c_client->addr; > + msgs[0].flags = 0; > + msgs[0].len = 2; > + msgs[0].buf = regandval; > + err = mutex_lock_interruptible(&ab3100_access_mutex); > + if (err) > + return err; > + > + /* > + * A two-byte write message with the first byte containing the register > + * number and the second byte containing the value to be written > + * effectively sets a register in the AB3100. > + */ > + if ((i2c_transfer(ab3100_i2c_client->adapter, > + &msgs[0], 1)) != 1) { > + dev_err(&ab3100_i2c_client->dev, > + "%s: write error (write register)\n", > + __func__); > + err = -EIO; > + } > + mutex_unlock(&ab3100_access_mutex); > + return err; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(ab3100_set_register); All those register access routines are accessible from anywhere. By dynamically allocating your driver structure and registering its subdevices as platform devices, you could restrict the usage of those routines to the subdevices only. > +static struct file_operations ab3100_registers_fops = { > + .open = ab3100_registers_open, > + .read = seq_read, > + .llseek = seq_lseek, > + .release = single_release, > + .owner = THIS_MODULE, > +}; This one should be const. > +static int __init ab3100_probe(struct i2c_client *client, > + const struct i2c_device_id *id) > +{ > + int err; > + int i; > + > + ab3100_i2c_client = client; > + ab3100_initialized = true; > + > + /* Read chip ID register */ > + err = ab3100_get_register(AB3100_CID, &ab3100_chip_id); > + if (err) { > + dev_err(&client->dev, > + "could not detect i2c bus for AB3100 analog" > + "baseband chip\n"); > + goto exit_no_detect; > + } > + > + for (i = 0; ids[i].id != 0x0; i++) { > + if (ids[i].id == ab3100_chip_id) { > + if (ids[i].name != NULL) { > + snprintf(&ab3100_chip_name[0], 31, "AB3100 %s", > + ids[i].name); > + break; > + } else { > + dev_err(&client->dev, > + "AB3000 is no longer supported\n"); > + goto exit_no_detect; > + } > + } > + } > + > + if (ids[i].id == 0x0) { > + dev_err(&client->dev, "Unknown chip id: 0x%x\n", > + ab3100_chip_id); > + goto exit_no_detect; > + } > + > + dev_info(&client->dev, "Detected chip: %s\n", > + &ab3100_chip_name[0]); > + > + err = ab3100_setup(); > + if (err) > + goto exit_no_detect; > + > + /* This real unpredictable IRQ is of course sampled for entropy */ > + err = request_irq(client->irq, ab3100_irq_handler, > + IRQF_DISABLED | IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM, > + "AB3100 IRQ", NULL); > + if (err) > + goto exit_no_detect; > + > + ab3100_setup_debugfs(); > + > + return 0; > + > + exit_no_detect: > + return err; > +} > + > +static int __exit ab3100_remove(struct i2c_client *client) > +{ > + struct event *e; > + > + ab3100_remove_debugfs(); > + /* Free the list of event subscribers here */ > + mutex_lock(&event_list_mutex); > + list_for_each_entry(e, &subscribers, node) { > + > + /* Found a client subscription => remove it */ > + list_del(&e->node); > + kfree(e); > + } > + mutex_unlock(&event_list_mutex); > + return 0; > +} As Mike pointed out, you're probably missing a free_irq() here.
