(Do you want to take them from this v2, or should I include them again in v3?) Then convert the list of functions above to use dev_driver_string() in a 4th patch. > The use in mpt_device_driver_register() looks unnecessary: it's only > to get a struct pci_device_id *, which is passed to ->probe() > functions that don't need it.

I don't understand that one without some research, probably this yields at least one patch. > I think that basically leaves these: > > uncore_pci_probe() # .id_table, custom driver "registration" > match_id() # .id_table, arch/x86/kernel/probe_roms.c > xhci_pci_quirks() # .id_table > pci_error_handlers() # roll-your-own AER handling, drivers/misc/cxl/guest.c > > I think it would be fine to use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for > these few. Converting these will be patch 7 then and patch 8 can then drop the duplicated handling. Sounds reasonable?
