of/overlay: add of overlay notifications
This patch add of overlay notifications. When DT overlays are being added, some drivers/subsystems need to see device tree overlays before the changes go into the live tree. This is distinct from reconfig notifiers that are post-apply or post-remove and which issue very granular notifications without providing access to the context of a whole overlay. The following 4 notificatons are issued: OF_OVERLAY_PRE_APPLY OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY OF_OVERLAY_PRE_REMOVE OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE In the case of pre-apply notification, if the notifier returns error, the overlay will be rejected. This patch exports two functions for registering/unregistering notifications: of_overlay_notifier_register(struct notifier_block *nb) of_overlay_notifier_unregister(struct notifier_block *nb) The of_mutex is held during these notifications. The notification data includes pointers to the overlay target and the overlay: struct of_overlay_notify_data { struct device_node *overlay; struct device_node *target; }; Signed-off-by: Alan Tull <atull@opensource.altera.com> Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Acked-by: Moritz Fischer <moritz.fischer@ettus.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
