Low-pin-count interface is integrated into some SoCs. The accesses to those

To drive these devices, this patch introduces a method named indirect-IO.
It's slightly confusing to call this "indirect I/O" and then use
"extio" for the filename and function prefix. It'd be nice to use
related names.
We will consider something more consistent.
+struct extio_node {
+ unsigned long bus_start; /* bus start address */
+ unsigned long io_start; /* io port token corresponding to bus_start */
+ size_t range_size; /* size of the extio node operating range */
+ struct fwnode_handle *fwnode;
+ struct list_head list;
+ struct extio_ops *ops; /* ops operating on this node */
+ void *devpara; /* private parameter of the host device */
+};
I wish we didn't have both struct io_range and struct extio_node. It
seems like they're both sort of trying to do the same thing. Maybe
this is the same as what Alex is saying.
I think so. I have just replied to Alex regarding this.
