Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/9] ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus

On 10/26/2016 09:41 PM, Robert Jarzmik wrote:

AC97 is a bus for sound usage. It enables for a AC97 AC-Link to link one controller to 0 to 4 AC97 codecs.

The goal of this new implementation is to implement a device/driver model for AC97, with an automatic scan of the bus and automatic discovery of AC97 codec devices.

Good work, a couple of comments inline.

I'd make the controller itself a struct dev, rather than just having the pointer to the parent. This is more idiomatic and matches what other subsystems do. It has several advantages, you get proper refcounting of your controller structure, the controller gets its own sysfs directory where the CODECs appear as children, you don't need the manual sysfs attribute creation and removal in ac97_controler_{un,}register().

• unsigned short slots_available;
• struct ac97_codec_device *codecs[AC97_BUS_MAX_CODECS];

If you make the controller a struct dev you can also remove this, since the device driver core tracks the children of a device.

init_name is only for statically allocated devices. Use dev_set_name(dev, ...). No need for kasprintf() either as dev_set_name() takes a format string.

For this you need to split device_register into device_initialize() and device_add(). But usually that is what you want anyway.

Unregister must not be able to fail. Hotunplug is one of the core concepts of the device driver model and there is really nothing that can be done to prevent a device from disappearing, so there is no sensible way of handling the error (and your pxa driver modifications simply ignore it as well).

This also means the framework needs to cope with the case where the controller is removed and the CODEC devices are still present. All future operations should return -ENODEV in that case.
