lib: devres: add convenience function to remap a resource

2012-04-05T16:12:15+00:00

Almost every platform_driver does the three steps get_resource,
request_mem_region, ioremap. This does not only lead to a lot of code
duplication, but also a huge number of similar error strings and
inconsistent error codes on failure. So, introduce a helper function
which simplifies remapping a resource and make it hard to do something
wrong and add documentation for it.

driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation

2011-05-07T01:01:05+00:00

Remove the struct bus_type, class, device, device_driver from the
driver-model docs. With another patch add them to device.h, since
they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide
a better way to document this stuff.

Driver core: driver_attribute parameters can often be const*

2009-12-23T19:23:43+00:00

Many struct driver_attribute descriptors are purely read-only
structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make
the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in
a ro section.
