mtd: m25p80: allow arbitrary OF matching for "jedec,spi-nor" 2015-07-21T16:33:42+00:00 Brian Norris computersforpeace@gmail.com 2015-05-19T21:38:22+00:00 43163022927b6e7d202a7e6f939c3f392465494d When we added the "jedec,spi-nor" compatible string for use in this driver, we added it as a modalias option. The modalias can be derived in different ways for platform devices vs. device tree (of_*) matching. But for device tree matching (the primary target of this identifier string), the modalias is determined from the first entry in the 'compatible' property. IOW, the following properties would bind to this driver: // Option (a), modalias = "spi-nor" compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"; // Option (b), modalias = "spi-nor" compatible = "idontknowwhatimdoing,spi-nor"; But the following would not: // Option (c), modalias = "shinynewdevice" compatible = "myvendor,shinynewdevice", "jedec,spi-nor"; So, we'd like to match (a) and (c) (even when we don't have an explicit entry for "shinynewdevice"), and we'd rather not allow (b). To do this, we (1) always (for devices without specific platform data) pass the modalias to the spi-nor library; (2) rework the spi-nor library to not reject "bad" names, and instead just fall back to autodetection; and (3) add the .of_match_table to properly catch all "jedec,spi-nor". This allows (a) and (c) without warnings, and rejects (b). Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
