Commit Message

  The devices that the vchiq interface registers (bcm2835-audio,
bcm2835-camera) are implemented and exposed by the VC04 firmware.
The device tree describes the VC04 itself with the resources required
to communicate with it through a mailbox interface. However, the
vchiq interface registers these devices as platform devices. This
also means the specific drivers for these devices are getting
registered as platform drivers. This is not correct and a blatant
abuse of platform device/driver.

Replace the platform device/driver model with a standard device driver
model. A custom bus_type, vchiq_bus_type, is created in the vchiq
interface which matches the devices to their specific device drivers
thereby, establishing driver binding. A struct vchiq_device wraps the
struct device for each device being registered on the bus by the vchiq
interface. On the other hand, struct vchiq_driver wraps the struct
device_driver and the module_vchiq_driver() macro is provided for the
driver registration.

Each device registered will expose a 'name' read-only device attribute
in sysfs (/sys/bus/vchiq-bus/devices). New devices and drivers can be
added by registering on vchiq_bus_type and adding a corresponding
device name entry in the static list of devices, vchiq_devices. There
is currently no way to enumerate the VCHIQ devices that are available
from the firmware.

I took the first 5 patches in this series, but stopped here.

This one needs to be broken up into much smaller pieces.  I suggest
creating the bus, and then move the existing code over to the new
interfaces instead of doing it all at once.  This way is much harder to
review and problems do not stand out very well.

Some minor questions:

probe functions (and all bus functions) should take your new device
type, not a generic device type, as that's not what they are working
with here at all.

Same here, use your real device type.

And here, a real device type please.

Why do you need this module alias now?  Are you sure it still works?  If
so, why is it created by hand like this?

A list of device names?  That's really odd, so please really really
document it.

sysfs_emit() please.

But why do you have the device name as a sysfs file?  It's the name of
the directory in sysfs already, why have it repeated?

Why do you need another name for your device?  What's wrong with the
name field in struct device?

I like when you beat me to review a series, and point out all the things
I would have pointed out too :-)

As discussed previously, the devices implemented in the firmware are not
discoverable, so we need to hardcode them here. A comment is indeed
needed.
