From: Uwe Kleine-König <uwe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello, Today the following is always true for a struct pci_dev *pdev: pdev->driver == pdev->dev.driver ? to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) : NULL This series is about getting rid of struct pci_dev::driver. The first three patches are unmodified compared to v2 (apart from an added Reviewed-by tag) and are just minor cleanups. Patch #4 replaces all usages of pci_dev::driver->name by dev_driver_string(). Patch #5 simplifies struct mpt_pci_driver by dropping an unused parameter from a function callback. The calculation of this parameter made use of struct pci_dev::driver. Patch #6 simplifies adf_enable_aer() and moves one assignment done in that function to the initializer of the respective static data. Patch #7 then modifies all remaining users of struct pci_dev::driver to use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) instead and finally patch #8 gets rid of the driver member. Note this series is only build tested. Theoretically patches #4 and #7 could be split by subsystem, there are no dependencies, but I'd prefer that all patches go in together via the pci tree to simplify the procedure. If you don't agree please speak up.
