spi: prefix modalias with "spi:"

2009-09-23T14:39:43+00:00

This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...).  I'm
not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason.

This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

spi: add support for device table matching

2009-09-23T14:39:43+00:00

With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices.  Just like
we do with I2C drivers.

This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices
but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips
probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is
overkill.

This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since
with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

platform: introduce module id table for platform devices

2009-03-24T23:38:24+00:00

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.

However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies.  This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.

Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.

To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

Fix longstanding "error: storage size of '__mod_dmi_device_table' isn't known"

2009-01-28T00:06:21+00:00

gcc 3.4.6 doesn't like MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, x) expansion enough to

HID: fix hid_device_id for cross compiling

2008-10-28T23:51:25+00:00

struct hid_device_id contains hidden padding which is bad for cross
compiling.  Make the padding explicit and consistent across
architectures.

Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.

2008-10-13T15:05:06+00:00

This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx).

I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays,
and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it
bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this
introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so
it shouldn't matter too much.

(Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of
them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but
doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

[S390] css: Use css_device_id for bus matching.

2008-07-14T08:02:12+00:00

css_device_id exists, so use it for determining the right driver
(and add a match_flags which is always 1 for valid types).
