link_id can be zero and if we have multiple controller instances in a system like Qualcomm debugfs will end-up with duplicate namespace resulting in incorrect debugfs entries.
Using id should give a unique debugfs directory entry and should fix below warning too. "debugfs: Directory 'master-0' with parent 'soundwire' already present!"
Yeah id is guaranteed to be unique so this will work.
Applied, thanks
This patch is a no-op for Intel, but I am not convinced it's the right fix or the definitions are not consistent.
It depends if the intention is to represent full Hierarchy in debugfs, then I agree. Its was consistent even before!
currently we have /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-*
Are you suggesting that we have something like this:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID> ?? /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID>/xyz-slave/master-<LINK-ID> ??
Or may be something much simpler like:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-<ID>.<LINK_ID>
--srini
* @link_id: Link id number, can be 0 to N, unique for each Master * @id: bus system-wide unique id
In the MIPI/DisCo definitions, a controller can have multiple masters. if you have multiple controllers, each of them should have their own debugfs directory IMHO. It's totally fine to have multiple bus/masters with a link_id == 0.
