Yes, I think the macro is bit over do.. I will remove it.

I agree with you and I think init function should allocate and
initialize the regmap_field and return it, and the read/write apis will
take the field and value. This approach looks neat.
Is it ok if we rename the regmap_field_init function to
regmap_field_alloc, as it will make it obvious that its allocating
memory which should be freed?
I also thought we could add devm version of it as well.
With this change here is what the init/alloc function would look like:
static void _regmap_field_init(struct regmap_field *field,
struct regmap *regmap, unsigned int reg,
unsigned int lsb, unsigned int msb)
{
field->regmap = regmap;
field->reg = reg;
field->lsb = lsb;
field->msb = msb;
}
struct regmap_field *devm_regmap_field_alloc(struct device *dev,
struct regmap *regmap, unsigned int reg,
unsigned int lsb, unsigned int msb)
{
struct regmap_field *field = devm_kzalloc(dev,
sizeof(*field), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!field)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
_regmap_field_init(field, regmap, reg, lsb, msb);
return field;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(devm_regmap_field_alloc);
struct regmap_field *regmap_field_alloc(struct regmap *regmap,
unsigned int reg, unsigned int lsb, unsigned int msb)
{
struct regmap_field *field = kzalloc(sizeof(*field), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!field)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
_regmap_field_init(field, regmap, reg, lsb, msb);
return field;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(regmap_field_alloc);
In header file..
static void inline regmap_field_free(struct regmap_field *field)
{
kfree(field);
}
static void inline devm_regmap_field_free(struct device *dev, struct
regmap_field *field)
{
devm_kfree(dev, field);
}
