Grant Likely Sept. 24, 2010, 10:14 p.m. UTC
Commit 959e85f7, "i2c: add OF-style registration and binding" caused a
module dependency loop where of_i2c.c calls functions in i2c-core, and
i2c-core calls of_i2c_register_devices() in of_i2c.  This means that
when i2c support is built as a module when CONFIG_OF is set, then
neither i2c_core nor of_i2c are able to be loaded.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the of_i2c_register_devices()
function into the body of i2c_core and renaming it to
i2c_scan_of_devices (of_i2c_register_devices is analogous to the
existing i2c_scan_static_board_info function and so should be named
similarly).  This function isn't called by any code outside of
i2c_core, and it must always be present when CONFIG_OF is selected, so
it makes sense to locate it there.  When CONFIG_OF is not selected,
of_i2c_register_devices() becomes a no-op.

I sort of go with this one.

Is there any advantage to just making the definition in the header
file a static inline and removing the #else part of this?

I'm not sure what you mean.  This particular patch makes
i2c_scan_of_devices() completely internal to i2c-core.c so that there
is no need to expose it in the header file at all.

Actually I would prefer option #2, even though I understand it won't
make Grant too happy. Having a large chunk of OF-specific code in
i2c-core, leaving of_i2c.c almost empty, doesn't seem right.

I took a look at what other relevant subsystems do. SPI is boolean so it
doesn't have the issue. MDIO is tristate, the registration function is
in of_mdio.c and individual drivers call it. And there are a lot more
of these (9) than i2c drivers (3).

So I would let individual drivers call of_i2c_register_devices(), as it
used to be until 2.6.35. 2 extra functions calls doesn't seem a high
price to pay to keep the code logically separated. This also make
things consistent, with all OF registration functions living under
drivers/of.

Thanks,

I'm fine with this.  In the grand scheme, it ends up being an unimportant point.

This is actually historical and somewhat in transition.  Now that all
the OF core code is cleaned up and generalized, I'm looking at the bus
specific hooks and deciding what would be best to do about them.  I'm
likely to move the SPI support into drivers/spi, and I'll probably
post a patch to do the same for drivers/net/phy and for the platform
bus.  The reason being that the data extraction code is far more bus
specific than it is OF-specific.

I will however back off from putting the registration hook directly
into the shared bus registration functions for the time being.  It is
a minor issue, and it does make a certain amount of sense for the
individual drivers to control the bus population.  Proof is in the
patches anyway and we can debate it after I actually post something
concrete.
