driver core: mark remaining local bus_type variables as const

2023-12-21T12:56:30+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
change the local driver core bus_type variables to be a constant
structure as well, placing them into read-only memory which can not be
modified at runtime.

driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:52+00:00

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the
device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the
function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use
this callback.

Documentation/auxiliary_bus: Move the text into the code

2021-12-03T15:41:50+00:00

The code and documentation are more difficult to maintain when kept
separately.  This is further compounded when the standard structure
documentation infrastructure is not used.

Move the documentation into the code, use the standard documentation
infrastructure, add current documented functions, and reference the text
in the rst file.

Documentation/auxiliary_bus: Clarify the release of devices from find device

2021-12-03T15:41:50+00:00

auxiliary_find_device() takes a proper get_device() reference on the
device before returning the matched device.

Users of this call should be informed that they need to properly release
this reference with put_device().

Documentation/auxiliary_bus: Clarify __auxiliary_driver_register

__auxiliary_driver_register is not intended to be called directly unless
a custom name is required.  Add documentation for this fact.

Documentation/auxiliary_bus: Clarify auxiliary_device creation

2021-12-03T15:41:50+00:00

The documentation for creating an auxiliary device is a 3 step not a 2
step process.  Specifically the requirements of setting the name, id,
dev.release, and dev.parent fields was not clear as a precursor to the '2
step' process documented.

Clarify by declaring this a 3 step process starting with setting the
fields of struct auxiliary_device correctly.

Also add some sample code and tie the change into the rest of the
documentation.

driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix memory leak when driver_register() fail

2021-07-21T14:36:06+00:00

If driver_register() returns with error we need to free the memory
allocated for auxdrv->driver.name before returning from
__auxiliary_driver_register()

bus: Make remove callback return void

2021-07-21T09:53:42+00:00

The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there
is only little it can do when a device disappears.

This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several
buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback.
Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers
returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go
away.

With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly
implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate
wrong expectations for driver authors.

driver core: auxiliary bus: Remove unneeded module bits

2021-03-23T09:47:55+00:00

Remove module bits in the auxiliary bus code since the auxiliary bus
cannot be built as a module and the relevant code is not needed.
