内核ACPI函数API之acpi_create_platform_device

acpi_create_platform_device 这个函数会为没有platform_driver 自动创建platform_device设备。只有当用户只调用register_platform_driver就可以匹配device和driver
其源码分析如下：
struct platform_device *acpi_create_platform_device(struct acpi_device *adev,
					struct property_entry *properties)
{
	struct platform_device *pdev = NULL;
	struct platform_device_info pdevinfo;
	struct resource_entry *rentry;
	struct list_head resource_list;
	struct resource *resources = NULL;
	int count;

	/* If the ACPI node already has a physical device attached, skip it. */
	#如果这个设备已经有一个物理节点attach了，则退出。简单说一个设备只能调用一次这个函数
	if (adev->physical_node_count)
		return NULL;
	#保存在forbidden_id_list 中的设备是禁止加载的。如果遇到这种设备则退出
	if (!acpi_match_device_ids(adev, forbidden_id_list))
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
	#初始化保存设备资源的链表
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&resource_list);
	#获取这个device的资源，如果count小于零说明获取资源失败，则退出
	count = acpi_dev_get_resources(adev, &resource_list, NULL, NULL);
	if (count < 0) {
		return NULL;
	} else if (count > 0) {
		#根据count数来申请内存老保存资源
		resources = kzalloc(count * sizeof(struct resource),
				    GFP_KERNEL);
		if (!resources) {
			dev_err(&adev->dev, "No memory for resources\n");
			acpi_dev_free_resource_list(&resource_list);
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		}
		count = 0;
		#将所有的资源保存在resource中
		list_for_each_entry(rentry, &resource_list, node)
			acpi_platform_fill_resource(adev, rentry->res,
						    &resources[count++]);

		acpi_dev_free_resource_list(&resource_list);
	}
	#清空pdevinfo 结构体
	memset(&pdevinfo, 0, sizeof(pdevinfo));
	/*
	 * If the ACPI node has a parent and that parent has a physical device
	 * attached to it, that physical device should be the parent of the
	 * platform device we are about to create.
	 */
	 #给pdeinfo 赋值
	pdevinfo.parent = adev->parent ?
		acpi_get_first_physical_node(adev->parent) : NULL;
	pdevinfo.name = dev_name(&adev->dev);
	pdevinfo.id = -1;
	pdevinfo.res = resources;
	pdevinfo.num_res = count;
	pdevinfo.fwnode = acpi_fwnode_handle(adev);
	pdevinfo.properties = properties;
	#检车这个device是否支持dma，如果支持的话，把dma mask设置为32bit
	if (acpi_dma_supported(adev))
		pdevinfo.dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
	else
		pdevinfo.dma_mask = 0;
	#前面的准备工作结束后，调用下面这个函数把pdevinfo注册给kernel
	#platform_device_register_full->platform_device_add->device_add 
	pdev = platform_device_register_full(&pdevinfo);
	if (IS_ERR(pdev))
		dev_err(&adev->dev, "platform device creation failed: %ld\n",
			PTR_ERR(pdev));
	else {
		set_dev_node(&pdev->dev, acpi_get_node(adev->handle));
		dev_dbg(&adev->dev, "created platform device %s\n",
			dev_name(&pdev->dev));
	}

	kfree(resources);

	return pdev;
