This patch provides groundwork for this series and it is key for
the rest of it, basically the point here is that we need a fwnode
to differentiate platform devices created out of static ACPI tables
entries (ie IORT), that represent IOMMU components.

The corresponding device is not an ACPI device (I could fabricate one as
it is done for other static tables entries eg FADT power button, but I
do not necessarily see the reason for doing that given that all we need
the fwnode for is a token identifier), so FWNODE_ACPI does not apply
here.

Please let me know if it is reasonable how I sorted this out (it
is basically identical to IRQCHIP, just another enum entry), the
remainder of the code depends on this.

Thanks !
Lorenzo

I'm not familiar with the use case, so I don't see anything unreasonable
in it.

If you're asking about whether or not I mind adding more fwnode types in
principle, then no, I don't. :-)

The use case is pretty simple: on ARM SMMU devices are platform devices.
When booting with DT they are identified through an of_node and related
FWNODE_OF type. When booting with ACPI, the ARM SMMU platform devices,
to be equivalent to DT booting path, should be created out of static
IORT table entries (that's how we describe SMMUs); we need to create
a fwnode "token" to associate with those platform devices and that's
not a FWNODE_ACPI (that is for an ACPI device firmware object, here we
really do not need one), so this patch.

Yes, that's what I was asking, the only point that bugs me is that for
both FWNODE_IRQCHIP and FWNODE_IOMMU the fwnode is just a "token" (ie a
valid pointer) used for look-up and the type in the fwnode_handle is
mostly there for error checking, I was wondering if we could create a
specific fwnode_type for this specific usage (eg FWNODE_TAG and then add
a type to it as part of its container struct) instead of adding an enum
value per subsystem - it seems there are other fwnode types in the
pipeline :), so I am asking:

lkml.kernel.org/r/3D1468514043-21081-3-git-send-email-minyard@acm.org

If it is ok for you and Joerg I will go ahead with current patch
keeping in mind that the above should not be that complicated to
implement if we deem it reasonable.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

OK, I see your concern now, so thanks for presenting it so clearly.

While I don't see anything wrong with having per-subsystem fwnode
types in principle, I agree that if the only purpose of them is to
mean "this comes from ACPI, but from a static table, not from the
namespace", it would be better to have a single fwnode type for that,
like FWNODE_ACPI_STATIC or similar.

Thanks,
Rafael
