I didn't know you can add arbitrary data like that to hwmods. What kind
of data is it meant for? Can the data be used by the driver, or is it
meant just for arch stuff?
I'm wondering this as we have a complex mechanism in the dss driver to
find out about the differences of DSS hardware
(drivers/video/omap2/dss/dss_features.[ch]). The dss_features system is
currently part of the driver, but should be moved under arch/arm/*omap*
at some point, and this hwmod dev_attr sounds like it could possibly be
a right place to handle these.
I looked at how the dev_attrs are used, and all of them seemed to be
very small, a few fields at max. The DSS features set is, on the other
hand, quite big amount of data, and meant for the driver.
