[RFC PATCH 1/4] PLATFORM: introduce structure to bind async platform data to a dev path name

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

 



This structure allows tagging arbitrary platform_data that can't be attached
to a device until after it is probed, with the device path name that it is
to be attached to.
