[PATCH 2/3] driver: Introduce dev_request_mem_resource

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

 



dev_request_mem_region returns a void * which shall be checked with
IS_ERR(), but in some cases the valid pointer returned clashes with
error values. This is especially the case on some Atmel SoCs.

This introduces dev_request_mem_resource which returns a struct resource
instead which in any case can be checked with IS_ERR(). It's the drivers
responsibility then to get the IOMEM pointer from the resource.
