driver core: add init_name to struct device

2008-08-21T17:15:37+00:00

This gives us a way to handle both the bus_id and init_name values being
used for a while during the transition period.

dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argument

2008-08-21T17:15:36+00:00

Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that
dev_printk doesn't modify dev.  This is a prerequisite to adding more
const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can
modify dev and which can't.

driver core: remove DEVICE_ID_SIZE define

2008-07-22T04:54:53+00:00

There is no such thing as a "device id size" in the driver core, so
remove the define and fix up any users of this odd define in the rest of
the kernel.

driver core: remove KOBJ_NAME_LEN define

2008-07-22T04:54:52+00:00

Kobjects do not have a limit in name size since a while, so stop
pretending that they do.

class: add lockdep infrastructure

2008-07-22T04:54:52+00:00

This adds the infrastructure to properly handle lockdep issues when the
internal class semaphore is changed to a mutex.

Matthew wrote the original patch, and Greg fixed it up to work properly
with the class_create() function.

class: move driver core specific parts to a private structure

2008-07-22T04:54:51+00:00

This moves the portions of struct class that are dynamic (kobject and
lock and lists) out of the main structure and into a dynamic, private,
structure.

Driver Core: add ability for class_find_device to start in middle of list

2008-07-22T04:54:47+00:00

This mirrors the functionality that driver_find_device has as well.

We add a start variable, and all callers of the function are fixed up at
the same time.

The block layer will be using this new functionality in a follow-on
patch.

device create: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create

2008-07-22T04:54:47+00:00

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the
original call to be sane.

Keep the device_create_drvdata macro around to make merges easier.
