Several frameworks - clk, gpio, phy, pmw, etc. - maintain
lookup tables for describing connections and provide custom
API for handling them. This introduces a single generic
lookup table and API for the connections.

The motivation for this commit is centralizing the
connection lookup, but the goal is to ultimately extract the
connection descriptions also from firmware by using the
fwnode_graph_* functions and other mechanisms that are
available.

Sorry for the delay, just now reviewing this patch...

The content is fine (if not scary for the obvious reason of passing
around 'struct device' of different bus types, but ok...), but the api
naming is "rough":


Heikki, I think it is best if you answer Greg's remarks. FWIW I'm
fine with the changes Greg proposes.

I currently have significantly less bandwidth for this due to
personal circumstances, so if a new version of this patch-set
is necessary it would be great if you (Heikki) can do a v7.

Regards,

Hans

Ick, __* functions are usually "no lock needed", but here you are doing
a lot "more" than the normal device_find_connection() call.  Why not
make this:
	device_connection_find_match()?

+
+struct device *device_find_connection(struct device *dev, const char *con_id);

device_connection_find()?

+
+#define DEVCON(_ep0, _ep1, _id)    (struct devcon) { { _ep0, _ep1 }, _id, }

Can you use named identifiers here?

+
+void add_device_connection(struct devcon *con);
+void remove_device_connection(struct devcon *con);

device_connection_add() and device_connection_remove()?

I can make the api name changes in an add-on patch.

thanks,

greg k-h
