I think that changing the device creation to change the dev->parent
should be pretty straightforward.

That's not possible with the current kernel, right?

We are now using omap_device_build() (in arch/arm/mach-omap2/display.c)
to build the dss devices. Looking at the omap_device.c, the parent will
always forcibly set to omap_device_parent. It'd be nice to be able to
construct the device child-parent relationship the same way with both DT
and non-DT cases.

I guess this should not be needed anymore since now the whole PM
runtime stuff is handled using pm_domain.

int omap_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	pr_debug("omap_device: %s: registering\n", pdev->name);

	pdev->dev.parent = &omap_device_parent;
	pdev->dev.pm_domain = &omap_device_pm_domain;
	return platform_device_add(pdev);
}


Kevin,

Do we still need to set the dev.parent to omap_device_parent?

Nope.

I guess the default &platform_bus parent is good enough and
potentially the DSS children should be able to overwrite that.

Yes, now that we use PM domains, we don't need it.  I just sent a patch
to remove omap_device_parent.

Or can I create only the dss_core with omap_device_build(), and create
the rest normally with platform device functions, and make dss_core the
parent of the rest? But are the hwmods then handled correctly?

You can, the only issue if you create a regular platform device is
that you will miss the automatic pm_runtime support along with the
hwmod device creation mechanism + clock / PM.

I think we can add an extra parameter to allow changing the
omap_device parent during omap_device_build.
