Yeah, I figured it would come in handy :-)

I looked a bit at USB and the main issue is that it's unclear in the
binding whether the root hub is exposed in the device-tree as a hub or
not. The tendency from what I can see of Apple and Sun produced trees is
that it's -not- there.

I didn't like the function name and though it would be better to
deprecate it and have users peek at the struct device -> of_node
instead, but if you think it's worthwhile I can factor that out.

I haven't looked at microblaze PCI code yet so I might be breaking
it... it looks like an old variant of the ppc32 one :-) They should
never have copied the OF node map stuff for example or the bus
renumbering for that matter :-)

The main thing is to get the node of the PHB. The "default"
weak function looks for the parent struct device you pass to
pci_create_bus() but it's often NULL if you detect your PHBs
very early like we do on most powerpc platforms.

That's why I have my override, and from what I can tell, microblaze
would need to copy it over too (and probably get rid of a lot of crap
they copied from me that they really really don't need :-)

I assume your comment refers to the rest of the code in that file (ie to
the file name above and not to the rpadlpar hunk :-)

This is my rationale for the split:

 - Bits in drivers/of/of_pci.c contain basic routines to parse
PCI device "reg" properties and locate devices in the device-tree
that don't involve the Linux PCI layer. This can be used by the later
(as it is below) but it can also be used by early boot platform code
that might need to locate PCI devices before the linux PCI probe
happens, that sort of thing. It's pretty clear that those functions
don't rely on anything from the linux PCI code

 - Bits in drivers/pci/of.c that contain the glue to actually populate
the pci_dev's and which use the parsers in the previous file. These
functions are strictly hooks that are called by the linux PCI layer to
populate it's nodes (along with the weak overridable one for getting
to the PHB device node).

There's a clear distinction here I believe and I think it's worth
keeping. I don't like having drivers/pci/probe.c call into
drivers/of/of_pci.c directly basically. The glue layer that way is more
obvious.

Well, there is also pci_create_bus() but yes, basically. Also
of_node_put() is safe vs. NULL afaik.

Yeah, those will kill me eventually :-)

And of_create_pci_dev() for powerpc :-)

But yes, basically. If you have a platform that "generates" struct
pci_dev without calling pci_scan_device() then it's your responsibility
to populate it.

But again, put() should be NULL safe so the ->release callback souldn't
have a problem if the node isn't populated.

Yes, I just forgot to "update" the empty inlines (you can see them
below but they have different/obsolete names :-)

I'll fix all of that up.

Thanks for the review !

Cheers,
Ben.
