platform driver 学习笔记

首先从这里开始： 

static int __init pm8058_rtc_init(void)
{
 return platform_driver_register(&pm8058_rtc_driver);
}

//__init标志对内核来讲是一个暗示,表明该函数只是在初始化时使用。模块加载器在模块加载后会丢掉这个初始化函数,这样可将该函数占用的内存释放出来，以作他用。

平台设备注册函数原型：

 注册平台设备驱动结构体pm8058_rtc_driver中driver成员中到bus、probe、remove、shutdown函数，这些函数在pm8058_rtc_driver结构体定义时并没有。参考platform_driver结构体原型和device_driver结构体原型

int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv)
{
 drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type;
 if (drv->probe)
  drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe;
 if (drv->remove)
  drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove;
 if (drv->shutdown)
  drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown;

int driver_register（&drv->driver）; //调用driver_register 函数，进行驱动注册；driver中成员现在包括bus、prob、remove、shutdown和name、owner、pm。

};

1.1------------------------------------------------------- 

int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv)
{
 int ret;
 struct device_driver *other;

 BUG_ON(!drv->bus->p);    //参考关于BUG_ON()的一点笔记 //Linux内核的Oops//panic 和 bug_on //如果pm8058_rtc_driver结构体成员bus中p(bus_type_private结构体类型)为空时，会触发kernel painic

 if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) ||    //用来检查是否同时关联了设备驱动探测函数
     (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) ||
     (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown))
  printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use "
   "bus_type methods\n", drv->name);

 other = driver_find(drv->name, drv->bus);
 if (other) {
  put_driver(other);
  printk(KERN_ERR "Error: Driver '%s' is already registered, "
   "aborting...\n", drv->name);
  return -EBUSY;
 }

 ret = bus_add_driver(drv);
 if (ret)
  return ret;
 ret = driver_add_groups(drv, drv->groups);
 if (ret)
  bus_remove_driver(drv);
 return ret;
}

pm8058_rtc_driver结构体

pm8058_rtc_driver是平台结构体类型，通过作为platform_driver_register函数的参数传递到函数体内。

static struct platform_driver pm8058_rtc_driver = {
 .probe  = pm8058_rtc_probe,
 .remove  = __devexit_p(pm8058_rtc_remove),
 .shutdown = pm8058_rtc_shutdown,
 .driver = {
  .name = "pm8058-rtc",
  .owner = THIS_MODULE,
#ifdef CONFIG_PM
  .pm = &pm8058_rtc_pm_ops,
#endif
 },
};

2.1---------------------------------------------------- 

platform_driver结构体原型

struct platform_driver {
 int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);//指向函数的指针probe，参数是platform_device结构体指针
 int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
 void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
 int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
 int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
 struct device_driver driver;
};

2.1.1---------------------------------------------------- 

device_driver 结构体原型

struct device_driver {
 const char * name;
 struct bus_type * bus;

 struct completion unloaded;
 struct kobject kobj;
 struct klist klist_devices;
 struct klist_node knode_bus;

 struct module * owner;

 int (*probe) (struct device * dev);
 int (*remove) (struct device * dev);
 void (*shutdown) (struct device * dev);
 int (*suspend) (struct device * dev, pm_message_t state);
 int (*resume) (struct device * dev);
};
