With ACPI 5 we are starting to see devices that don't natively support discovery but can be enumerated with the help of the ACPI namespace. Typically, these devices can be represented in the Linux device driver model as platform devices or some serial bus devices, like SPI or I2C devices. Since we want to re-use existing drivers for those devices, we need a way for drivers to specify the ACPI IDs of supported devices, so that they can be matched against device nodes in the ACPI namespace. To this end, it is sufficient to add a pointer to an array of supported ACPI device IDs, that can be provided by the driver, to struct device. Moreover, things like ACPI power management need to have access to the ACPI handle of each supported device, because that handle is used to invoke AML methods associated with the corresponding ACPI device node. The ACPI handles of devices are now stored in the archdata member structure of struct device whose definition depends on the architecture and includes the ACPI handle only on x86 and ia64. Since the pointer to an array of supported ACPI IDs is added to struct device_driver in an architecture-independent way, it is logical to move the ACPI handle from archdata to struct device itself at the same time. This also makes code more straightforward in some places and follows the example of Device Trees that have a poiter to struct device_node in there too. This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's work. Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Acked-by: H.
