I rewrote this a few times and so now I have a few version of this implementations :-) The above proposal is similar to the version v6+++ mentioned in the above patch note: > > v6+++: > > Introduced a new struct "of_phandle_iter" to keep the state when > > iterating over the list. which is: [RFC][PATCHv6+++ 01/13] of: introduce of_property_for_earch_phandle_with_args() http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2013-November/007087.html Stephen seemed to prefer the version without state struct. I like the idea to not pass the same arguments repeatly. Instead, wrapping them in a struct with state may look better. So if Stephen agrees, I'll rewrite the version with state struct again. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
