Hi all,
This patch set implements standard device table matching mechanism
for SPI subsystem, the same device id tables as we use in I2C drivers.
I started this work because m25p80 driver misdetects non-JEDEC
chips when it is used on OpenFirmware platforms (cause we don't pass
platform_data). platform_data is overkill for m25p80 chips, the
driver only needs to know exact chip model, and that's what device
tables are for.
So the patches:
[1/7] spi: Add support for device table matching
[2/7] mtd: m25p80: Convert to device table matching
[3/7] of: Remove "stm,m25p40" alias
The three patches above do real work. I tried to keep the 1/7 patch as
small as possible, and factor out the subsystem cleanups into other,
"cleanup" patches:
[PATCH 4/7] spi: Prefix modalias with "spi:"
[PATCH 5/7] spi: Merge probe and probe_id callbacks
These two patches I consider as cleanups, they should not introduce
any behavioural change, but they touch quite a lot of files.
[PATCH 6/7] hwmon: adxx: Convert to device table matching
[PATCH 7/7] hwmon: lm70: Convert to device table matching
These two are here because I couldn't stop. :-) Also cleanups.
