注册一个驱动的步骤:
1、定义一个platform_driver结构
2、初始化这个结构,指定其probe、remove等函数,并初始化其中的driver变量
3、实现其probe、remove等函数
📋
1. platform_driver结构,定义于include/linux/platform_device.h文件中。
2. struct platform_driver {
int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
struct device_driver driver;
};
3. 结构体device_driver位于include/linux/device.h文件中。
4. struct device_driver {
const char * name;
struct bus_type * bus;
struct kobject kobj;
struct klist klist_devices;
struct klist_node knode_bus;
struct module * owner;
const char * mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
struct module_kobject * mkobj;
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);
};
5. 需要注意这两个变量:name和owner。那么的作用主要是为了和相关的platform_device关联起来,owner的作用是说明模块的所有者,驱动程序中一般初始化为THIS_MODULE。
6. platform_driver的初始化实例:
static struct platform_driver s3c2410iis_driver = {
.probe = s3c2410iis_probe,
.remove = s3c2410iis_remove,
.driver = {
.name = "s3c2410-iis",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
};
7. struct platform_device { //pdev是平台总线设备,对于整个驱动是可见的
const char * name;
int id;
struct device dev;
u32 num_resources;
struct resource * resource;
};
8. 具体的实例:
struct platform_device s3c_device_iis = {
.name = "s3c2410-iis",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_iis_resource),
.resource = s3c_iis_resource,
.dev = {
.dma_mask = &s3c_device_iis_dmamask,
.coherent_dma_mask = 0xffffffffUL
}
};
9. 它的name变量和刚才上面的platform_driver的name变量是一致的,内核正是通过这个一致性来为驱动程序找到资源,即platform_device中的resource。
10. resource位于include/linux/ioport.h文件中
11. struct resource {
resource_size_t start;
resource_size_t end;
const char *name;
unsigned long flags;
struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};
下面是一个具体的实例:
static struct resource s3c_iis_resource[] = {
[0] = {
.start = S3C24XX_PA_IIS,
.end = S3C24XX_PA_IIS + S3C24XX_SZ_IIS -1,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
}
};
11. 这个结构的作用就是告诉驱动程序设备的起始地址和终止地址和设备的端口类型。这里的地址指的是物理地址。
12. struct device {
struct klist klist_children;
struct klist_node knode_parent; /* node in sibling list */
struct klist_node knode_driver;
struct klist_node knode_bus;
struct device *parent;
struct kobject kobj;
char bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE]; /* position on parent bus */
......
struct list_head node;
struct class *class;
dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */
void (*release)(struct device * dev);
};
