Simpler soluation will be for the caller to provide the platformdev?
That works nicely for the vgem case, I think.
Yeah looking at this again, do we really need this patch? Couldn't we instead change patch 1 to first allocate the fake platform device, then pass that to drm_dev_alloc (instead of NULL like we do now)?
That was what I proposed in the first version and it was rejected. It's useful to have at least one driver with a NULL device for testing edge cases.
That way no resurrection of drm_device.platform_dev is needed (and I'd really like this zombie to stay dead on 2nd thought).
I had a hunch this would be unpopular but I figured it was worth a shot. I think an even cleaner solution is to allow passing of any struct device. I'll see about reworking this.
Sry about this yet-another-round review :-/ -Daniel
Thanks for your patience.
