[PATCH v3 4/7] dmaengine: move channel devices to the DMA channel bus
From: Peng Fan (OSS)
Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 01:46:40 EST
From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@xxxxxxx>
Register each dma_chan_dev on dma_chan_bus_type before device_register()
and make it a bus device instead of a class device. Setting the bus
before registration lets bus_add_device() take the bus subsystem
reference, so the matching bus_remove_device() calls drop references that
were actually acquired. Attach dma_dev_groups to the bus and set the
device release callback directly.
Keep the existing /sys/class/dma interface by registering a class_compat
named "dma" and creating a link for each channel device. The channel
devices now live on the DMA bus, while /sys/class/dma/dmaNchanM remains
available to userspace. The uevent subsystem name stays "dma" because
the bus has the same name as the old class.
Remove the post-registration dev->bus assignment from the Tegra GPC DMA
driver. Leaving it in place would overwrite the bus selected by the DMA
engine core and reintroduce the reference imbalance.
The DMA channel bus match callback never matches, so no driver can bind
to these channel devices.
