We use dev_get_drvdata to get the driver match data associated with a device. This has two shortcomings: - Linux has dev_get_drvdata too, which returns a private pointer for driver specific info to associate with a device. We use dev->priv (or more often container_of) for that in barebox instead - It nearly always involves a cast to a double pointer, which is error-prone as size and alignment match need to be ensured on the programmer's part and can easily be gotten wrong: enum dev_type type dev_get_drvdata(dev, (const void **)&type); Add a new function that instead of using a double pointer argument, returns the pointer directly: - For normal pointer driver data, no cast is necessary - For integer driver data casted to a pointer for storage, the cast is still necessary, but Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/base/driver.c | 11 +++++++++++ include/driver.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/base/driver.c b/drivers/base/driver.c index 412db6c40699..3205bbc3c33b 100644 --- a/drivers/base/driver.c +++ b/drivers/base/driver.c @@ -500,3 +500,14 @@ int dev_get_drvdata(struct device_d *dev, const void **data) return -ENODEV; } + +const void *device_get_match_data(struct device_d *dev) +{ + if (dev->of_id_entry) + return dev->of_id_entry->data; + + if (dev->id_entry) + return (void *)dev->id_entry->driver_data; + + return NULL; +} diff --git a/include/driver.h b/include/driver.h index 154525e0fde7..14220431f2d6 100644 --- a/include/driver.h +++ b/include/driver.h @@ -534,8 +534,26 @@ int devfs_create_partitions(const char *devname, #define DRV_OF_COMPAT(compat) \ IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OFDEVICE) ?
