2015-12-07component: add support for releasing match dataRussell King1-7/+21
The component helper treats the void match data pointer as an opaque object which needs no further management. When device nodes being passed, this is not true: the caller should pass its refcount to the component helper, and there should be a way to drop the refcount when the matching information is destroyed. This patch provides a per-match release method in addition to the match method to solve this issue. Rather than using component_match_add(), users should use component_match_add_release() which takes an additional function pointer for releasing this reference.

2015-12-07component: remove old add_components methodRussell King1-5/+0
Now that drivers create an array of component matches at probe time, we can retire the old methods. This involves removing the add_components master method, and removing component_master_add_child() from public view. We also remove component_add_master() as that interface is no longer useful.

2014-07-03component: add support for component match arrayRussell King1-0/+7
Add support for generating a set of component matches at master probe time, and submitting them to the component layer. This allows the component layer to perform the matches internally without needing to call into the master driver, and allows for further restructuring of the component helper.

2014-01-11drivers/base: provide an infrastructure for componentised subsystemsRussell King1-0/+32
Subsystems such as ALSA, DRM and others require a single card-level device structure to represent a subsystem. However, firmware tends to describe the individual devices and the connections between them. Therefore, we need a way to gather up the individual component devices together, and indicate when we have all the component devices. We do this in DT by providing a "superdevice" node which specifies the components, eg: imx-drm { compatible = "fsl,drm"; crtcs = <&ipu1>; connectors = <&hdmi>; }; The superdevice is declared into the component support, along with the subcomponents. The superdevice receives callbacks to locate the subcomponents, and identify when all components are present. At this point, we bind the superdevice, which causes the appropriate subsystem to be initialised in the conventional way. When any of the components or superdevice are removed from the system, we unbind the superdevice, thereby taking the subsystem down.
