which device would that be?
This is controller device
+static int slim_add_device(struct slim_controller *ctrl,
struct slim_device *sbdev,struct device_node *node)+{
- sbdev->dev.bus = &slimbus_bus;
- sbdev->dev.parent = ctrl->dev;

- sbdev->ctrl = ctrl;
- dev_set_name(&sbdev->dev, "%x:%x:%x:%x",
sbdev->e_addr.manf_id,sbdev->e_addr.prod_code,sbdev->e_addr.dev_index,sbdev->e_addr.instance);- get_device(ctrl->dev);
is this controller device and you ensuring it doesnt go away while you have slaves on it?
Yes.
I thought since you are marking ctrl->dev as parent, the device core should ensure that parent doesn't go off when you have child device?
Greg, is that understanding correct, if so we may not need these calls.
