*	Driver core: Unified interface for firmware node properties	Rafael J. Wysocki	2014-11-04	1	-0/+246
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Add new generic routines are provided for retrieving properties from device description objects in the platform firmware in case there are no struct device objects for them (either those objects have not been created yet or they do not exist at all). The following functions are provided: fwnode_property_present() fwnode_property_read_u8() fwnode_property_read_u16() fwnode_property_read_u32() fwnode_property_read_u64() fwnode_property_read_string() fwnode_property_read_u8_array() fwnode_property_read_u16_array() fwnode_property_read_u32_array() fwnode_property_read_u64_array() fwnode_property_read_string_array() in analogy with the corresponding functions for struct device added previously. For all of them, the first argument is a pointer to struct fwnode_handle (new type) that allows a device description object (depending on what platform firmware interface is in use) to be obtained. Add a new macro device_for_each_child_node() for iterating over the children of the device description object associated with a given device and a new function device_get_child_node_count() returning the number of a given device's child nodes. The interface covers both ACPI and Device Trees.

*	Driver core: Unified device properties interface for platform firmware	Rafael J. Wysocki	2014-11-04	1	-0/+185
	Add a uniform interface by which device drivers can request device properties from the platform firmware by providing a property name and the corresponding data type. The purpose of it is to help to write portable code that won't depend on any particular platform firmware interface. The following general helper functions are added: device_property_present() device_property_read_u8() device_property_read_u16() device_property_read_u32() device_property_read_u64() device_property_read_string() device_property_read_u8_array() device_property_read_u16_array() device_property_read_u32_array() device_property_read_u64_array() device_property_read_string_array() The first one allows the caller to check if the given property is present. The next 5 of them allow single-valued properties of various types to be retrieved in a uniform way. The remaining 5 are for reading properties with multiple values (arrays of either numbers or strings). The interface covers both ACPI and Device Trees. This change set includes material from Mika Westerberg and Aaron Lu.
