[PATCH v4 00/11] staging: vc04_services: Drop non-essential global members

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

 



This series aims to drop the remaining (non-essential) global members
to address the following TODO item:
```
* Get rid of all non essential global structures and create a proper per
device structure
```

Mainly the global members are moved to be contained inside platform
driver data. They can be access via platform_get_drvdata().

More re-fractoring has gone into this version now. Please look
for individual commit for details.

NOTE: Series has been developed on top of [1]
"[PATCH] staging: vc04_services: Stop kthreads on .remove"

The fate of that patch is still undecided, so we need to take into
account on the direction the discussions take. That will only affect
Patch 10/11 of this series, rest is fairly independent in that regard.
