[PATCH v2 0/3] Allow attaching software node when registering platform devices

[Dmitry Torokhov]

When converting legacy board code to use static device properties,
especially when using static device properties for GPIO references,
it is often required to attach a secondary software node to platform
devices being created.

To reduce the amount of boilerplate needed add 'swnode' field to
platform_device_info structure and attach this software node (and
register it if it is not yet registered) as a secondary node to the
new platform device.

v2:
- add kerneldoc for platform_device_info
- split out formatting changes into a separate patch

Dmitry Torokhov (3):
  driver core: platform: add kerneldoc to struct platform_device_info
  driver core: platform: allow attaching software nodes when creating
    devices
  driver core: platform: fix various formatting issues
