Use DEVICE_ATTR_RO etc. for read only attributes etc. This simplifies the source code, improves readbility, and reduces the chance of inconsistencies. The semantic patch for the RO case, in the case where the show function already has the expected name, is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @ro@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR; identifier x,x_show; @@ DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0444\|S_IRUGO\), x_show, NULL); @script:ocaml@ x << ro.x; x_show << ro.x_show; @@ if not (x^"_show" = x_show) then Coccilib.include_match false @@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR_RO; identifier ro.x,ro.x_show; @@ - DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0444\|S_IRUGO\), x_show, NULL); + DEVICE_ATTR_RO(x); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/hwmon/sch5627.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/sch5627.c b/drivers/hwmon/sch5627.c index 19f85c0..91544f2 100644 --- a/drivers/hwmon/sch5627.c +++ b/drivers/hwmon/sch5627.c @@ -205,7 +205,7 @@ static int reg_to_rpm(u16 reg) return 5400540 / reg; } -static ssize_t show_name(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *devattr, +static ssize_t name_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *devattr, char *buf) { return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", DEVNAME); @@ -326,7 +326,7 @@ static ssize_t show_in_label(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute SCH5627_IN_LABELS[attr->index]); } -static DEVICE_ATTR(name, S_IRUGO, show_name, NULL); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(name); static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR(temp1_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 0); static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR(temp2_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 1); static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR(temp3_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 2); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
