device property: Introduce fwnode_find_reference()

2019-06-03T08:55:38+00:00

In most cases the references that the drivers look for don't
have any arguments. This introduces a wrapper function for
fwnode_property_get_reference_args() that looks for
references by using only the name and index.

device property: Add fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()

2019-04-18T14:44:05+00:00

fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id() is intended for obtaining local
endpoints by a given local port.

fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id() is slightly different from its OF
counterpart, of_graph_get_endpoint_by_regs(): instead of using -1 as
a value to indicate that a port or an endpoint number does not matter,
it uses flags to look for equal or greater endpoint. The port number
is always fixed. It also returns only remote endpoints that belong
to an available device, a behaviour that can be turned off with a flag.

device property: Remove struct property_set

2018-11-26T17:19:11+00:00

Replacing struct property_set with the software nodes that
were just introduced.

The API and functionality for adding properties to devices
remains the same, however, the goal is to convert the
drivers to use the API for software nodes when the device
has no real firmware node, and use the old API only when
"extra" build-in properties are needed.

device property: Get rid of union aliasing

2018-05-17T10:47:21+00:00

Commit 318a19718261 (device property: refactor built-in properties
support) went way too far and brought a union aliasing. Partially
revert it here to get rid of union aliasing.

Note, all Apple properties are considered as u8 arrays. To get a value
of any of them the caller must use device_property_read_u8_array().

What's union aliasing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The C99 standard in section 6.2.5 paragraph 20 defines union type as
"an overlapping nonempty set of member objects". It also states in
section 6.7.2.1 paragraph 14 that "the value of at most one of the
members can be stored in a union object at any time'.

Union aliasing is a type punning mechanism using union members to store
as one type and read back as another.

Why it's not good?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section 6.2.6.1 paragraph 6 says that a union object may not be a trap
representation, although its member objects may be.

Meanwhile annex J.1 says that "the value of a union member other than
the last one stored into" is unspecified [removed in C11].

In TC3, a footnote is added which specifies that accessing a member of a
union other than the last one stored causes "the object representation"
to be re-interpreted in the new type and specifically refers to this as
"type punning". This conflicts to some degree with Annex J.1.

While it's working in Linux with GCC, the use of union members to do
type punning is not clear area in the C standard and might lead to
unspecified behaviour.

More information is available in this [1] blog post.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.

  The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with
  reworks to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the
  long run, but no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs
  attribute fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, as well as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.

  And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
