I guess perhaps they aren't necessarily. It sure seems like some higher-level locking is needed in of_platform_create_pdata() though, since there's quite a window there between the get() and set() calls. Or, is there already some locking in place above that, in which case, I 'm not sure why there's a need for this level of locking here... > diff --git a/drivers/of/platform.c b/drivers/of/platform.c > + tmp = of_get_device(np); > + if (tmp) { > + dev_info(tmp, "Already populated\n"); > + return to_platform_device(tmp); > + } Did you check all callers of this function to make sure that they also don't do any kind of double-processing? > diff --git a/include/linux/of.h b/include/linux/of.h > @@ -60,6 +60,9 @@ struct device_node { > struct kref kref; > unsigned long _flags; > void *data; > + > + struct device *dev; /* Set only after populated */ > + > #if defined(CONFIG_SPARC) Are the extra blank lines needed? -- 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

There was some more discussion about it, which can be found in the following thread: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/devicetree-discuss/2013-June/036934.html That's one of the last messages and it should have most of the background. If not you may have to walk up the thread for more context. In a nutshell I raised the question as to why we can't simply call of_platform_populate() earlier and side-step all the workarounds that have found their way into the kernel to side-step the issue of their not being a struct device associated with the struct device_node. If of_platform_populate() can be made to run early, then we can restore a whole lot of consistency in how "early" drivers on an OF kernel work. Thierry

This is the thread which Lorenzo started originally.

He may have some > plan to implement/proceed with this, Lorenzo? I was trying to raise the issue and apparently I succeeded. For now, I put in place yet-another-temporary-solution to the problem in one of the drivers I need for power management, but certainly the problem is not solved, and I can't allocate time to do it myself unfortunately. I am more than happy to review patches though.
