Indeed, I hate myself for this :-) Here was my rationale, feel free to pick it apart: 1) I need time, possibly a couple of months, to get proper ACPI support for these drivers into the firmware. Then I can rewrite these as ACPI drivers as is proper for an x86 board. I've already started down this path. 2) I felt the value of getting something upstream, even if it isn't perfect, before the board ships was preferable to only having it in what is effectively a vendor tree (linux-yocto_3.8 standard/minnow) and risking various other implementations popping up and confusing the situation. 3) I at least wanted to fix the pch_gbe support which is currently tied up with these platform drivers. I considered pushing the minnow_phy_reset into pch_gbe, but I previously was scolded for putting too much board-specific knowledge into that driver. > The main concern is that this won't really scale if more vendors add > variations of this board -- needing code changes for each and every one > of them.

If this trumps the rationale above, it might just make sense to push the phy reset into the pch_gbe driver and hold off on these. Alternatively, we can choose to accept that this is transitional with the understanding that drivers/platform/x86/minnow* *will* go away. > > diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig b/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig > > index 8577261..154dbf6 100644 > > --- a/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig > > +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig > > @@ -15,6 +15,26 @@ menuconfig X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES > > > > if X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES > > > > +config MINNOWBOARD > > + tristate "MinnowBoard GPIO and LVDS support" > > + depends on LPC_SCH > > + depends on GPIO_SCH > > + depends on GPIO_PCH > > + depends on LEDS_GPIO > > + default n > > No need to default n.

I had them together initially. The reason I broke them up was to separate fixed functionality from example code. minnowboard.c sets up the API and any fixed things, like the GPIO LEDs. Those can be easily configured through LED triggers, so no need to allow for a different kind of driver. minnowboard-gpio.c provides easy user access to the GPIO, but would conflict with a properly written driver for a device driven with the GPIO. This one is for prototyping and experimentation, but shouldn't be considered as a "permanent" driver like minnowboard.c is. minnowboard-keys.c is example code and could possibly be considered a "permanent" driver once the ACPI version makes it a bit more configurable by specifying the key codes and such outside the kernel driver. minnow_detect() can be replaced with DMI_MATCH() anywhere, so perhaps this should just go away once the drivers are ACPI'ified. minnow_lvds_detect().... that's a long story. I only really need it in minnowboard-gpio.c to make sure I only export the GPIO if they are not being used for LVDS. I could move it to that driver and remove the export altogether. > > > +void minnow_phy_reset(void) > > +{ > > + /* > > + * Hold reset for a little over 1ms and allow some time after to ensure > > + * the PHY has fully woken up. > > + */ > > + gpio_set_value(GPIO_PHY_RESET, 0); > > + usleep_range(1250, 1500); > > + gpio_set_value(GPIO_PHY_RESET, 1); > > + usleep_range(1250, 1500); > > +} > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(minnow_phy_reset); > > What phy?

I bike-shed'ed this until I was blue and decided I should leave it up to David Miller as he was likely to have an opinion on consolidation of functionality versus board-agnostic code. David, would you prefer I set the GPIO from the PCI Subsystem ID and move the reset function into the pch_gbe driver? > > > +static int __init minnow_module_init(void) > > +{ > > + int err, val, i; > > + > > + err = -ENODEV; > > + if (!minnow_detect()) > > + goto out; > > + > > +#ifdef MODULE > > +/* Load any implicit dependencies that are not built-in */ > > +#ifdef CONFIG_LPC_SCH_MODULE > > + if (request_module("lpc_sch")) > > Less ifdefs with: > > if (IS_MODULE(....) && request_module(..))

See what happens when core kernel people are allowed to write driver code? How does this relate to converting this over to an ACPI device driver? I guess I would replace the above with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...) ? If I do the above.... is this still an evil board-file? What makes the acpi method of discover superior to setting up linux-hotplug via dmi?

I'll address in V2 after we bat around some of the above a bit.
