While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/ would be useful: - it's shorter :-) - I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components. But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ... Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs. v2: Review from Rafael: - git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst - lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes. v3: Review from Russell: - s/framework/helper - clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions. v4: Remove a few superflous "This".

The Linux driver implementer's API guide
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.
