module_platform_driver解析

在看alsa驱动代码时看到以下内容

module_platform_driver(xxx_machine_driver);

 宏定义如下：

/* module_platform_driver() - Helper macro for drivers that don't do
 * anything special in module init/exit.  This eliminates a lot of
 * boilerplate.  Each module may only use this macro once, and
 * calling it replaces module_init() and module_exit()
 */
#define module_platform_driver(__platform_driver) \
    module_driver(__platform_driver, platform_driver_register, \
            platform_driver_unregister)

/**
 * module_driver() - Helper macro for drivers that don't do anything
 * special in module init/exit. This eliminates a lot of boilerplate.
 * Each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces
 * module_init() and module_exit().
 *
 * @__driver: driver name
 * @__register: register function for this driver type
 * @__unregister: unregister function for this driver type
 * @...: Additional arguments to be passed to __register and __unregister.
 *
 * Use this macro to construct bus specific macros for registering
 * drivers, and do not use it on its own.
 */
#define module_driver(__driver, __register, __unregister, ...) \
static int __init __driver##_init(void) \
{ \
    return __register(&(__driver) , ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} \
module_init(__driver##_init); \
static void __exit __driver##_exit(void) \
{ \
    __unregister(&(__driver) , ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} \
module_exit(__driver##_exit);

假如我把宏全部展开，module_platform_driver(xxx_machine_driver);的结果就是：

static int __init xxx_machine_driver_init(void) 
{ 
    return platform_driver_register(&(xxx_machine_driver)); 
} 
module_init(xxx_machine_driver_init); 
static void __exit xxx_machine_driver_exit(void) 
{ 
    platform_driver_unregister(&(xxx_machine_driver)); 
} 
module_exit(xxx_machine_driver_exit);

展开后可知，是定义设备驱动的注册函数和注销函数，xxx_machine_driver既是platform_driver结构体对象，也是注册函数和注销函数名字的一部分，只需一个module_platform_driver宏就能替代大段代码，使用及其方便
