[PATCH] PCI: eswin: Publish the platform driver's OF alias
Posted by hpp.iscas 2 weeks, 6 days ago 
The ESWIN PCIe host controller is a platform driver matched through
eswin_pcie_of_match. PCIE_ESWIN is tristate, but the table is not
published for OF module autoloading.

Publish this platform-device table. Do not change the RISC-V host
initialization sequence or PCI device matching.

As per Linux Kernel DCO, a real name is required for the submitter/author.
Please refer: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

'hpp.iscas' doesn't appear to be a real name.

Hi hpp.iscas

Since this driver uses `builtin_platform_driver(eswin_pcie_driver)`, it
appears to be built-in only. In that case, `MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()` seems
unnecessary.

Nope. builtin_platform_driver() only prevents removing the driver once loaded.
Since the driver is defined as 'tristate' in Kconfig, it can still be loaded
dynamically. So MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() would still be necessary for udev to
autoload the module based on modalias.

Hi Mani

Thanks for the clarification. I see that builtin_platform_driver() does not
prevent the driver from being built and loaded as a module, so
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is still needed for module autoloading.

However, since builtin_platform_driver() does not provide an unregister
path, the module cannot be unloaded with rmmod. Is that intentional for
this driver?

Thanks,
Nick

Yes, that's intentional and only applicable for controller drivers implementing
irqchip. Refer this guide for more details:
