[PATCH 1/8] rust: kernel: Add Platform device and driver abstractions
Posted by Ayush Singh 2 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Fabien Parent <fabien.parent@linaro.org>

Ports Platform device and driver abstractions from Fabien's tree [0].

These abstractions do not depend on any generic driver registration and
id table. Instead, the minimal abstractions have been implemented
specifically for platform subsystem taking heavy inspiration from the
existing phy device and driver abstractions.

I appreciate posting this, but this really should go on top of the
device driver work Danilo Krummrich has been doing.  He and I spent a
lot of time working through this this past weekend (well, him talking
and explaining, and me asking too many stupid questions...)

I think what he has will make the platform driver/device work simpler
here, and I'll be glad to take it based on that, this "independent" code
that doesn't interact with that isn't the best idea overall.

It also will properly handle the "Driver" interaction as well, which we
need to get right, not a one-off like this for a platform driver.
Hopefully that will not cause much, if any, changes for your use of this
in your driver, but let's see.

thanks,

If everyone agrees, I'd offer to just provide platform device / driver
abstractions with my next patch series. This way you don't need to worry
about aligning things with the rest of the abstractions yourself and throughout
potential further versions of the series.

Just be aware that I probably won't get to work on it until after LPC.

Covering platform device/driver abstractions in the same series would
be appreciated from asahi side. It hopefully results in earlier merge
since it avoids a dependency on the device driver abstractions.
Feel free to reach out to me for an earlier preview / rabsing of the
asahi driver.
https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/tree/bits/210-gpu has all relevant
rust changes from 6.11-rc but I plan to rebase onto 6.11 in the next
days and possibly import changes from 6.12-rc* / rust-next.

Thanks
Janne

That sounds good to me, thanks!

We will not be able to review anything until after LPC either :)

Sure, can you provide me a link to patches or maybe the branch 
containing that work? I also think it would be good to have the link in 
Zulip discussion for Platform Device and Driver.

Sure, please see [1]. But please be aware that I plan to rework some parts
before sending out the next version.

Maybe the branch is just out of date? It still contains the generic 
structures for IdArray, IdTable and RawDeviceId.

Has something changed since the discussion here [0]?

Yes, it has; this refers to what Greg mentioned when he said that we worked
through this last weekend in his original reply.

Things will probably not remain exactly this way, but the general concept of the
abstractions will, i.e. the existance of `IdArray`, `IdTable`, and some
`DeviceId` abstraction. Please also see [1].
