Hi All,
Currently drm debugfs files are created using drm_debugfs_create_files() on request. This series introduces new functions and infrastructure that will enable the mass creation of debugfs files during drm_dev_register(). Drivers can request for the creation of debugfs files at any time using two new functions: drm_debugfs_add_files()/drm_debugfs_add_file(). The file requests are added to a list and tracked until drm_dev_register() when the files are created all at once.
This concept was already in use by the drm/vc4 driver and this series tries to introduce the same infrastructure in drm core. Patch 2 removes vc4's functions doing the same, and replaces it with the new drm core functions. Patch 3 is an example of how the new functions and structs can replace the existing drm_info_list and drm_debugfs_create_files() usage.
Hoping to get some feedback or comments on the current progress of this series.
Thanks, wambui karuga
Wambui Karuga (3): drm/debugfs: create debugfs files during drm_dev_register(). drm/vc4: use new debugfs functions for file creation. drm: use new debugfs functions for various files.
