[patch 2.6.25-rc6 1/7] crosslink ACPI and "real" device nodes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add cross-links between ACPI device and "real" devices in sysfs,
exposing otherwise-hidden interrelationships between the various
device nodes which ACPI creates.  As a representative example one
hardware device is exposed as two logical devices (PNP and ACPI):

  .../pnp0/00:06/
  .../LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/device:15/PNP0B00:00/

The PNP device gets a "firmware_node" link pointing to the ACPI device.
The ACPI device has a "physical_node" link pointing to the PNP device.
Linux drivers currently bind only to the "physical" device nodes.

Other device trees provided by firmware tables could be exported
using the same scheme; these names aren't ACPI-specific.

(Based on a patch from Zhang Rui.  This version is modified to not
depend on the patch teaching ACPI about driver model wakeup flags.)

Change from previous version:  if creating the link fails, a
pr_debug level message is emitted.
