- All this does is walk through all SBUS devices in the
-system, checks each to see if it is of the type which
-your driver is written for, and if so it calls the init
-routine to attach the device and prepare to drive it.
+ static struct of_device_id mydevice_match[] = {
+ {
+ .name = "mydevice",
+ },
+ {},
+ };
+
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mydevice_match);
- "init_one_mydevice" might do things like allocate software
-state structures, map in I/O registers, place the hardware
-into an initialized state, etc.
+ static struct of_platform_driver mydevice_driver = {
+ .name = "mydevice",
+ .match_table = mydevice_match,
+ .probe = mydevice_probe,

+
+ The mydevice_match table is a series of entries which
+describes what SBUS devices your driver is meant for. In the
+simplest case you specify a string for the 'name' field. Every
+SBUS device with a 'name' property matching your string will
+be passed one-by-one to your .probe method.
+
+ You should store away your device private state structure
+pointer in the drvdata area so that you can retrieve it later on
+in your .remove method.
+
+ Any memory allocated, registers mapped, IRQs registered,
+etc. must be undone by your .remove method so that all resources
+of your device are relased by the time it returns.
+
+ You should _NOT_ use the for_each_sbus(), for_each_sbusdev(),
+and for_all_sbusdev() interfaces. They are deprecated, will be
+removed, and no new driver should reference them ever.
Mapping and Accessing I/O Registers
@@ -263,10 +305,3 @@ discussed above and plus it handles both PCI and SBUS boards.
Lance driver abuses consistent mappings for data transfer.
It is a nifty trick which we do not particularly recommend...
Just check it out and know that it's legal.

- Bad examples, do NOT use

- drivers/video/cgsix.c
- This one uses result of sbus_ioremap as if it is an address.
-This does NOT work on sparc64 and therefore is broken. We will
-convert it at a later date.
