rapidio: update enumerator registration mechanism
Update enumeration/discovery method registration mechanism to allow loading enumeration/discovery methods before all mports are registered. Existing statically linked RapidIO subsystem expects that all available RapidIO mport devices are initialized and registered before the enumeration/discovery method is registered. Switching to loadable mport device drivers creates situation when mport device driver can be loaded after enumeration/discovery method is attached (e.g., loadable mport driver in a system with statically linked RapidIO core and enumerator). This also will happen in a system with hot-pluggable RapidIO controllers. To remove the dependency on the initialization/registration order this patch introduces enumeration/discovery registration mechanism that supports arbitrary registration order of mports and enumerator/discovery methods. The following registration rules are implemented: - only one enumeration/discovery method can be registered for given mport ID (including RIO_MPORT_ANY); - when new enumeration/discovery methods tries to attach to the registered mport device, method with matching mport ID will replace a default method previously registered for given mport (if any); - enumeration/discovery method with target ID=RIO_MPORT_ANY will be attached only to mports that do not have another enumerator attached to them; - when new mport device is registered with RapidIO subsystem, registration routine searches for the enumeration/discovery method with the best matching mport ID; Signed-off-by: Alexandre Bounine <alexandre.bounine@idt.com> Cc: Matt Porter <mporter@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Li Yang <leoli@freescale.com> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Andre van Herk <andre.van.herk@Prodrive.nl> Cc: Micha Nelissen <micha.nelissen@Prodrive.nl> Cc: Stef van Os <stef.van.os@Prodrive.nl> Cc: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
