platform_device_register()注册过程

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

/* arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-smdk2410.c */

struct platform_device s3c_device_i2c = {

         .name                  = "s3c2410-i2c",

};

int platform_device_register(struct platform_device * pdev)

{

    device_initialize(&pdev->dev);        //初始化设备结构

    return platform_device_add(pdev); //添加一个片上的设备到设备层

}

/**

 * @pdev: platform device we're adding *

int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)

{

         int i, ret = 0;

         if (!pdev)

         return -EINVAL;

         if (!pdev->dev.parent)

         pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;

         pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;

         if (pdev->id != -1)

                   snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%d", pdev->name,

                             pdev->id);       /* 若支持同类多个设备，则用pdev->name和pdev->id在总线上标识该设备  */

         else

                   strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE); /* 否则，用pdev->name(如"s3c2410-i2c")在总线上标识该设备 */

 

         for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) {       /*  遍历资源数，并为各自在总线地址空间请求分配 */

                   struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];

                   if (r->name == NULL)

                            r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;

                   p = r->parent;

                   if (!p) {

                            if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)

                                     p = &iomem_resource;   /*  作为IO内存资源分配   */

                            else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)

                                     p = &ioport_resource;     /*  作为IO Port资源分配   */

                   }

                  if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) {       /*   将新的resource插入内核resource tree */

                            printk(KERN_ERR

                                   "%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",

                                   pdev->dev.bus_id, i);

                            ret = -EBUSY;

                            goto failed;

                   }

         }

         pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",

                    pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);

         ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);

         if (ret == 0)

                   return ret;

 failed:

         while (--i >= 0)

                   if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))

                            release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);

         return ret;

}

这里发现，添加device到内核最终还是调用的device_add函数。Platform_device_add和device_add最主要的区别是多了一步insert_resource(p, r)即将platform资源(resource)添加进内核，由内核统一管理。

platform_driver_register()注册过程

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

static struct platform_driver s3c2410_i2c_driver = {

         .probe                = s3c24xx_i2c_probe,

         .remove              = s3c24xx_i2c_remove,

         .resume              = s3c24xx_i2c_resume,

         .driver                = {

                   .owner     = THIS_MODULE,

                   .name       = "s3c2410-i2c",

         },

};

platform_driver_register(&s3c2410fb_driver)----->

driver_register(&drv->driver)----->

bus_add_driver(drv)----->

driver_attach(drv)----->

bus_for_each_dev(drv->bus, NULL, drv, __driver_attach)----->

__driver_attach(struct device * dev, void * data)----->

driver_probe_device(drv, dev)----->

really_probe(dev, drv)----->

在really_probe()中：为设备指派管理该设备的驱动：dev->driver = drv, 调用probe()函数初始化设备：drv->probe(dev)
