We have an include file called linux/io.h. Please use linux/*.h files which
include asm/*.h files in preference to directly using asm/*.h.

In fact, no driver should include an asm/*.h header.
And I didn't have that there, but it kept refusing to find ioread32be. Of course, now I change it back to linux/io.h (which I had, I swear) and all works swell.

Concider it changed.

What happens if you unbind the device in sysfs and then try and use
this function?

+static int sunxi_sid_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ device_remove_bin_file(&pdev->dev, &sid_bin_attr);
+ dev_info(&pdev->dev, "Sunxi SID driver unloaded successfully.\n");

Maybe you want to set p_sid_reg_base to NULL here?

+
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static int __init sunxi_sid_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ int entropy[SID_SIZE], i, ret;
+ struct device *dev;
+ struct resource *res;
+ void __iomem *sid_reg_base;
+
+ dev = &pdev->dev;
+ if (unlikely(!pdev->dev.of_node)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "No devicetree data available\n");
+ ret = -EFAULT;
+ goto exit;
+ }
+
+ res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
+ sid_reg_base = devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, res);
+ if (IS_ERR(sid_reg_base)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "Unable to obtain resource\n");
+ ret = PTR_ERR(sid_reg_base);
+ goto exit;
+ }
+ platform_set_drvdata(pdev, sid_reg_base);
+ p_sid_reg_base = sid_reg_base;

So what happens if you have two of these devices? Maybe you want to check
whether p_sid_reg_base is already set?

+
+ ret = device_create_bin_file(dev, &sid_bin_attr);
+ if (unlikely(ret)) {
+ dev_err(dev, "Unable to create sysfs bin entry\n");
+ goto exit;
+ }
+
+ for (i = 0; i < SID_SIZE; i++)
+ entropy[i] = sunxi_sid_read_byte(i);
+ add_device_randomness(entropy, SID_SIZE);
+
+ dev_info(dev, "Sunxi SID driver loaded successfully.\n");

Do we really need to report that the driver "loaded successfully" ?
Do we need lots of lines in the kernel log telling us simply that
random driver X was built into the kernel or the module was loaded?
