    drm: omapdrm: dss: Support passing private data to debugfs show handlers · f33656e1
    Laurent Pinchart authored
    To simplify implementation of debugfs seq_file show handlers, the driver
    passes the pointer to the show function through the debugfs_create_file
    data pointer. This prevents using the pointer to pass driver private
    data to the show handler, and requires all handlers to use global
    variables to access private data.
    
    To prepare for the removal of global private data in the driver, rework
    the debugfs infrastructure to allow passing a private data pointer to
    show handlers.
    
    The price to pay is explicit removal of debugfs files to free the
    internally allocated memory. This is desirable anyway as debugfs entries
    should be removed when a component driver is unbound, otherwise crashes
    will occur due to access to freed memory when the components will be
    dynamically allocated instead of stored in global variables.
