Guys,
I was wondering if there was any issue in changing
platform_device_add to
use insert_resource instead of request_resource. The reason for
this
change is to handle several cases where we have device registers
that
overlap that two different drivers are handling.
The biggest case of this is with ethernet on a number of PowerPC
based
systems where a subset of the ethernet controllers registers are
used for
MDIO/PHY bus control. We currently hack around the limitation by
having
the MDIO/PHY bus not actually register an memory resource region.
If the following looks good I'll send a more formal patch.
Looks good to me, but Russell knows this code much better than I.
thanks,
greg k-h
Russell, any issues?
Haven't managed to look at this yet - busy catching up after illness.
Any update?
