v2 cover Export APIs to copy device properties & more

Hi,

Here is the refreshed series exporting APIs to copy statically declared device properties. The reason is that we want to augment ACPI-based devices with properties, and drivers usually have a largish DMI table for multiple models, so it is desirable to mark everything as __initdata/__initconst, and then copy only the entry matching the device we are running on and discard the rest.

The last patch is not really about device property APIs, but rather allowing users to attach properties to i2c_board_info, and have them attached to instantiated device(s). The reason it is included is because it depends on device_add_properties() taking const pointer, which is patch #2.

If it seems useful I hope Rafael and Wolfram would figure a way to merge it :).

v2:
- addressed Andy's comments
- added property_entries_free()
- added patch to allow constify values of property arrays
- added i2c patch allowing to attach property to devices via board info

v1:
- initial posting

Dmitry Torokhov (4):
device property: export code duplicating array of property entries device property: allow to constify properties
driver property: constify property arrays values
i2c: allow specify device properties in i2c_board_info

PATCH v2 1/4 device property: export code duplicating array of property entries

When augmenting ACPI-enumerated devices with additional property data based on DMI info, a module has often several potential property sets, with only one being active on a given box. In order to save memory it should be possible to mark everything and __initdata or __initconst, execute DMI match early, and duplicate relevant properties. Then kernel will discard the rest of them.

PATCH v2 2/4 device property: allow to constify properties

In reply to Dmitry Torokhov

There is no reason why statically defined properties should be modifiable, so let's make device_add_properties() and the rest of pset_*() functions to take const pointers to properties.

This will allow us to mark properties as const/__initconst at definition sites.

PATCH v2 4/4 i2c: allow specify device properties in i2c_board_info

In reply to Dmitry Torokhov

With many drivers converting to using generic device properties, it is useful to provide array of device properties when instantiating new i2c client via i2c_board_info and have them automatically added to the device in question.

Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] i2c: allow specify device properties in i2c_board_info

Quoted 16 lines · Dmitry Torokhov

With many drivers converting to using generic device properties, it is useful to provide array of device properties when instantiating new i2c client via i2c_board_info and have them automatically added to the device in question.

I don't remember anymore how it was but is the driver core supposed to free this automatically when the device is removed or should we deal this in the i2c-core instead?

It is done as part of device_del().

Thanks.
