NAME

OF_device_from_xref, OF_xref_from_device, OF_device_register_xrefmanage mappings between xrefs and devices

SYNOPSIS

#include <dev/ofw/ofw_bus.h>
#include <dev/ofw/ofw_bus_subr.h>
int
OF_device_register_xref(phandle_t xref, device_t dev);
device_t
OF_device_from_xref(phandle_t xref);
phandle_t
OF_xref_from_device(device_t dev);

DESCRIPTION

When a device tree node references another node, the driver may need to get a device_t instance associated with the referenced node. For instance, an Ethernet driver accessing a PHY device. To make this possible, the kernel maintains a table that maps effective handles to device_t instances.
OF_device_register_xref() adds a map entry from the effective phandle xref to device dev. If a mapping entry for xref already exists, it is replaced with the new one. The function always returns 0.
OF_device_from_xref() returns a device_t instance associated with the effective phandle xref. If no such mapping exists, the function returns NULL.
OF_xref_from_device() returns the effective phandle associated with the device dev. If no such mapping exists, the function returns 0.

EXAMPLES

    static int 
    acmephy_attach(device_t dev) 
    { 
        phandle_t node; 
 
	/* PHY node is referenced from eth device, register it */ 
        node = ofw_bus_get_node(dev); 
        OF_device_register_xref(OF_xref_from_node(node), dev); 
 
        return (0); 
    }
