Some drivers, such as graphics drivers in the DRM subsystem, do not have a real device that they can bind to. They are often composed of several devices, each having their own driver. The master/component framework can be used in these situations to collect the devices pertaining to one logical device, wait until all of them have registered and then bind them all at once.
For some situations this is only a partial solution. An implementation of a master still needs to be registered with the system somehow. Many drivers currently resort to creating a dummy device that a driver can bind to and register the master against. This is problematic since it requires (and presumes) knowledge about the system within drivers.
Furthermore there are setups where a suitable device already exists, but is already bound to a driver. For example, on Tegra the following device tree extract (simplified) represents the host1x device along with child devices:
host1x { display-controller { ... };
display-controller { ... };
hdmi { ... };
dsi { ... };
csi { ... };
video-input { ... }; };
Each of the child devices is in turn a client of host1x, in that it can request resources (command stream DMA channels and syncpoints) from it. To implement the DMA channel and syncpoint infrastructure, host1x comes with its own driver. Children are implemented in separate drivers. In Linux this set of devices would be exposed by DRM and V4L2 drivers.
However, neither the DRM nor the V4L2 drivers have a single device that they can bind to. The DRM device is composed of the display controllers and the various output devices, whereas the V4L2 device is composed of one or more video input devices.
This patch introduces the concept of an interface and drivers that can bind to a given interface. An interface can be exposed by any device, and interface drivers can bind to these interfaces. Multiple drivers can bind against a single interface. When a device is removed, interfaces exposed by it will be removed as well, thereby removing the drivers that were bound to those interfaces.
In the example above, the host1x device would expose the "tegra-host1x" interface. DRM and V4L2 drivers can then bind to that interface and instantiate the respective subsystem objects from there.
