[PATCH v3 1/2] fdt: Add fdtdec_find_aliases() to deal with alias nodes

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Jan 18 05:20:50 EST 2012


Stephen Warren pointed out that we should use nodes whether or not they
have an alias in the /aliases section. The aliases section specifies the
order so far as it can, but is not essential. Operating without alisses
is useful when the enumerated order of nodes does not matter (admittedly
rare in U-Boot).

This is considerably more complex, and it is important to keep this
complexity out of driver code. This patch creates a function
fdtdec_find_aliases() which returns an ordered list of node offsets
for a particular compatible ID, taking account of alias nodes.

Changes in v2:
- Allow gaps in the list returned to the caller
- Improve alias checking algorithm to reduce run time
- Rename function to fdtdec_find_aliases_for_id()
- Skip nodes marked as disabled

Changes in v3:
- Change 'continue' to 'break' in last loop, since we are done anyway
- Fix typos and add two assert() checks

+/**
+ * Find the nodes for a peripheral and return a list of them in the correct
+ * order. This is used to enumerate all the peripherals of a certain type.
+ *
+ * To use this, optionally set up a /aliases node with alias properties for
+ * a peripheral. For example, for usb you could have:
+ *
+ * aliases {
+ *		usb0 = "/ehci at c5008000";
+ *		usb1 = "/ehci at c5000000";
+ * };
+ *
+ * Pass "usb" as the name to this function and will return a list of two
+ * nodes offsets: /ehci at c5008000 and ehci at c5000000.
+ *
+ * All nodes returned will match the compatible ID, as it is assumed that
+ * all peripherals use the same driver.
+ *
+ * If no alias node is found, then the node list will be returned in the
+ * order found in the fdt. If the aliases mention a node which doesn't
+ * exist, then this will be ignored. If nodes are found with no aliases,
+ * they will be added in any order.
+ *
+ * If there is a gap in the aliases, then this function return a 0 node at
+ * that position. The return value will also count these gaps.
+ *
+ * This function checks node properties and will not return nodes which are
+ * marked disabled (status = "disabled").
