[RFC 1/5] drivers: Add boot constraints core
From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Wed Jun 28 2017 - 06:27:35 EST
Some devices are powered ON by the bootloaders before the bootloader
handovers control to Linux. It maybe important for those devices to keep
working until the time a Linux device driver probes the device and
reconfigure its resources.
A typical example of that can be the LCD controller, which is used by
the bootloaders to show image(s) while the device is booting into Linux.
The LCD controller can be using some resources, like clk, regulators,
etc, that are shared between several devices. These shared resources
should be programmed so that all the users of them are satisfied. If
some user (X) driver gets probed before the LCD controller driver in
this case, then it may end up reconfiguring these resources to ranges
satisfying the current users (only user X) and that can make the LCD
screen unstable.
This patch introduces the concept of boot-constraints, which will be set
by the bootloaders and the kernel will satisfy them until the time
driver for such a device is probed (successfully or unsuccessfully).
The list of boot constraint types is empty for now, and will be added by
a later patch.
Only two routines are exposed by the boot constraints core for now:
- boot_constraint_add(): This will be called by parts of the kernel
(before the device is probed) to set the constraints.
- boot_constraints_remove(): This is called only by the driver core
after a device is probed successfully or unsuccessfully. Special
handling is done here for deffered probing.

+ This enables boot constraints detection for devices. These constraints
+ are (normally) set by the Bootloader and must be satisfied by the
+ kernel until the relevant device driver is probed. Once the driver is
+ probed, the constraint is dropped.
