cover acpi: unbreak ACPI_HANDLE(), encapsulate fwnode_operations

From: John Hubbard <[email protected]>

Hi everyone,

I really don't know for sure which fix is going to be preferred--the following patch, or just an obvious one-line fix that changes DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS() so that it invokes EXPORT_SYMBOL, instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. I explained the reasoning in PATCH 1/1, anyway, so please see what you think.

PATCH 1/1 acpi: unbreak ACPI_HANDLE(), encapsulate fwnode_operations

From: John Hubbard <[email protected]>

Due to commit db3e50f3234b ("device property: Get rid of struct fwnode_handle type field"), ACPI_HANDLE() inadvertently became a GPL-only call. The call path that led to that was:

ACPI_HANDLE()

    ACPI_COMPANION()
        to_acpi_device_node()
            is_acpi_device_node()
                acpi_device_fwnode_ops
                    DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS(acpi_device_fwnode_ops);

...and the new DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS() includes EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, whereas previously it was a static struct.

In order to avoid changing any of that, let's instead provide ever so slightly better encapsulation of those struct fwnode_operations instances. Those do not really need to be directly used in inline function calls in header files. Simply moving two small functions (is_acpi_device_node and is_acpi_data_node) out of acpi_bus.h, and into a .c file, does that.

That leaves the internals of struct fwnode_operations as GPL-only (which I think was the intent all along), but un-breaks any driver code out there that relies on the ACPI subsystem's being (historically) an EXPORT_SYMBOL-usable system. By that, I mean, ACPI_HANDLE() and other basic ACPI calls were non-GPL-protected.

Also, while I'm there, remove a tiny bit of redundancy that was missed in the earlier commit, by having is_acpi_node() use the other two routines, instead of checking fwnode directly.

That leaves the internals of struct fwnode_operations as GPL-only (which I think was the intent all along), but un-breaks any driver code out there that relies on the ACPI subsystem's being (historically) an EXPORT_SYMBOL-usable system. By that, I mean, ACPI_HANDLE() and other basic ACPI calls were non-GPL-protected.

Works for me.

OF appears to have the same effective change; Rob: let me know if you'd like me to send a patch for that, or whether this is preferred. On OF both appear to be used (EXPORT_SYMBOL / EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).

OK, applied.

Side note: I'm slightly unhappy with the number of checks in the ACPI_COMPANION() path.

Do we really ever pass anything other than struct acpi_device to ACPI_COMPANION_SET() as the second arg?

Thanks,
Rafael

No, and we should not accept anything else than acpi_device either.
