I haven't given this much thought, but do we really want this for serdev at all? I'm thinking whatever driver or subsystem is using serdev should have their own triggers (e.g. bluetooth or net). So it might be better to move the rx-blinking to the default tty-port client receive_buf callback instead (i.e. tty_port_default_receive_buf()). And then the resource allocations would need to go after the serdev registration in tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev(). > > > Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > --- > > > Changes since v1, sent with Message-Id: > > > 20180503100448.1350-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: > > > > > > - implement tx trigger; > > > - introduce Kconfig symbol for conditional compilation; > > > - set trigger to NULL if allocating the name failed to not free random > > > pointers in case the port struct wasn't zeroed; > > > - use if/else instead of goto > > > > > @@ -499,6 +500,7 @@ static void flush_to_ldisc(struct work_struct *work) > > > struct tty_buffer *head = buf->head; > > > struct tty_buffer *next; > > > int count; > > > + unsigned long delay = 50 /* ms */; > > > > Comment after the semicolon? > > Given that this comment is about the 50 and not the delay member, I > prefer it before the ;. Hmm. I personally find it hard to read and can only find about 30 instances of this comment style (for assignments) in the kernel. And arguably the comment applies equally well to the delay variable in this case too. > > Besides the ugly ifdefs here, you're leaking the above LED resources in > > the error paths below (e.g. on probe deferrals). > ack, the ifdevs are ugly. I'm working on an idea to get rid of them. Sounds good.
