| Message-ID | <sZEn0-2E8-27@gated-at.bofh.it> |
dev_to_net_device() is moved from net/dsa/dsa.c to net/core/dev.c since
it going to be used by net/dsa/dsa2.c and the namespace of the function
justifies making it available to other users potentially.

This really isn't just a "struct device to net device cast" type
function, (otherwise a simple container_of() would work). You are
walking the device tree and assuming it is in a specific order so that
this function works. You better document the hell out of this,
otherwise people are going to try to use this and get very confused,
very quickly...

Fair enough. Does that make it clearer how the device_find_class() is
used though? Maybe device_find_class() should be named
device_find_by_class_name() instead?

Better, but you are just poking around randomly in the device tree and
"hoping" you get it right. What happens if devices move around? You
are assuming some sort of heirachy here that I don't understand at
all...
