No, the solution doesn't exist yet, but it wouldn't be hard to implement. What you need to do is to add a struct device pointer to struct device_node, and set the pointer to the struct device when of_platform_device_create creates a device. (it would also need to be set for early_platform_device creation, but that's not something that should affect you). You would also add a check to of_platform_device_create to check if the device pointer is already set. If it is, then skip creation of the device. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

One problem with this method is that every driver that needs or wants the device early has to do it explicitly, but I guess we can't have it all. I find this solution rather appealing because it allows for instance the Marvell Armada 370/XP IRQ chip driver to do this as well so we no longer have to keep around the extra struct device_node * in msi_chip but we can actually reuse the one from struct device instead.

The other option is to modify of_device_add() to allow it to be called before the platform bus is set up, and then to 'fixup' the registrations at initcall time. That would mean of_platform_populate can be called really early and it would solve the problem of preserving the device hierarchy. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Grant, What about the other way round, i.e. check if there is a device with .of_node pointed to the struct device_node currently at of_platform_device_create? That will avoid adding struct device to struct device_node which you fought against for good reasons. Also, I guess of_platform_device_create could be exported and used by anyone who wants to create platform_devices early.

The main thing is that it means searching through the entire list of platform devices every time a new platform device is created.

Yes, but in that case it is probably better for them to call of_platform_populate early if of_platform_device_create is fixed to support early calling. Then you'd just set up all the devices earlier in init, allow drivers that support early probing to do so, and then everything else uses the normal initcall path. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

That > seems unnecessarily expensive to me. There's not really much reason to not add a pointer to the struct device of a device_node because you can already obtain the platform_device by calling of_find_device_by_node(). That doesn't work early, but if that gets fixed, then of_find_device_by_node() could also be used. And since adding a struct device * to device_node is pretty much required to fix of_platform_device_create() for early, of_find_device_by_node() can be implemented much more efficiently. > > Also, I guess of_platform_device_create could be exported and used > > by anyone who wants to create platform_devices early. > > Yes, but in that case it is probably better for them to call > of_platform_populate early if of_platform_device_create is fixed to > support early calling.

I've been bugged by the recent additions in drivers/irqchip lately because they all rely on only the device_node and therefore none of the functions that require a struct device can be used. If things can indeed be fixed to call of_platform_populate() early that would restore a whole lot of consistency. Thierry
