Hello all,
I am trying to figure out how to use the uio_dmem_genirq driver with a platform
device described in my device tree
My device tree entry looks something like this:
mydevice: mydevice@a0001000 {
compatible = "generic-uio";
...
}
And in my bootargs I have
uio_dmem_genirq.of_id="generic-uio"
This works when using uio_pdrv_genirq but not when using uio_dmem_genirq. By
"works" I mean that with uio_pdrv_genirq I see my device mapped under
/sys/class/uio, but there is no such mapping with uio_dmem_genirq.
Looking at the source for the drivers, I notice that the uio_pdrv_genirq driver
has the following lines that are not included in uio_dmem_genirq:
module_param_string(of_id, uio_of_genirq_match[0].compatible, 128, 0);
MODULE_PARAM_DESC(of_id, "Openfirmware id of the device to be handled by
uio");
Do these lines need to be included for the uio_dmem_genirq driver to work?
I have read through the Userspace IO HOWTO but that guide doesn't cover using
the generic UIO drivers with the device tree (as far as I can tell, I am a
kernel newbie after all).
Thank you for your help,
Greg
