[PATCH] Adding driver model support in IDE
This adds the basic driver model support for the IDE subsystem. Basically, it registers the controllers and devices with the driver model core, which puts them in the device tree and gets them a directory in driverfs. The driverfs layout looks like this (on my workstation): [mochel@cherise mochel]$ tree -d /sys/root/pci0/ /sys/root/pci0/ |-- 00:00.0 |-- 00:01.0 | `-- 01:00.0 |-- 00:02.0 | `-- 02:1f.0 | `-- 03:00.0 |-- 00:1e.0 | `-- 04:04.0 |-- 00:1f.0 |-- 00:1f.1 | |-- ide0 | | |-- 0.0 | | `-- 0.1 | `-- ide1 | |-- 1.0 | `-- 1.1 The drive bus IDs (the directory names) are created using this: sprintf(bus_id,"%u.%u",hwif->index,unit); which should give each drive a unique name for the entire system, right? I've also created a struct bus_type for IDE, which gives ide a directory in the driverfs bus/ directory. The layout of that is: [mochel@cherise mochel]$ tree -d /sys/bus/ide/ /sys/bus/ide/ |-- devices | |-- 0.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide0/0.0 | |-- 0.1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide0/0.1 | |-- 1.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide1/1.0 | `-- 1.1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide1/1.1 `-- drivers Those are symlinks under devices/ (which is why the drive names must be unique..). When drivers are registered with the IDE core, they should also be passed through the core, which will give them a directory in the drivers/ directory just above. In general, there is a bit of code that can be cleaned up, and some explicit calls removed, because of the way the driver model core works. Most of these are pretty simple, and barring any objections, I will implement and send them to you.
