I looked at all the bus_type.probe() methods, it looks like pci_dev is not the only offender here. At least the following also have a driver pointer in the device struct: parisc_device.driver acpi_device.driver dio_dev.driver hid_device.driver pci_dev.driver pnp_dev.driver rio_dev.driver zorro_dev.driverRight, when I converted zorro_dev it was pointed out that the code was copied from pci and the latter has the same construct. :-) See https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210730191035.1455248-5-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de (local) for the patch, I don't find where pci was pointed out, maybe it was on irc only.Oh, thanks! I looked to see if you'd done something similar elsewhere, but I missed this one.quoted

Looking through the places that care about pci_dev.driver (the ones updated by patch 5/6), many of them are ... a little dubious to begin with. A few need the "struct pci_error_handlers *err_handler" pointer, so that's probably legitimate. But many just need a name, and should probably be using dev_driver_string() instead.Yeah, I considered adding a function to get the driver name from a pci_dev and a function to get the error handlers. Maybe it's an idea to introduce these two and then use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for the few remaining users? Maybe doing that on top of my current series makes sense to have a clean switch from pdev->driver to pdev->dev.driver?!I'd propose using dev_driver_string() for these places: eeh_driver_name() (could change callers to use dev_driver_string()) bcma_host_pci_probe() qm_alloc_uacce() hns3_get_drvinfo() prestera_pci_probe() mlxsw_pci_probe() nfp_get_drvinfo() ssb_pcihost_probe()So the idea is: PCI: Simplify pci_device_remove() PCI: Drop useless check from pci_device_probe() xen/pci: Drop some checks that are always true are kept as is as preparation. (Do you want to take them from this v2, or should I include them again in v3?)
Easiest if you include them until we merge the series.
Then convert the list of functions above to use dev_driver_string() in a 4th patch.quoted
The use in mpt_device_driver_register() looks unnecessary: it's only to get a struct pci_device_id *, which is passed to ->probe() functions that don't need it.This is patch #5.quoted
The use in adf_enable_aer() looks wrong: it sets the err_handler pointer in one of the adf_driver structs. I think those structs should be basically immutable, and the drivers that call adf_enable_aer() from their .probe() methods should set ".err_handler = &adf_err_handler" in their static adf_driver definitions instead.I don't understand that one without some research, probably this yields at least one patch.
Yeah, it's a little messy because you'd have to make adf_err_handler non-static and add an extern for it. Sample below.

I think that basically leaves these: uncore_pci_probe() # .id_table, custom driver "registration" match_id() # .id_table, arch/x86/kernel/probe_roms.c xhci_pci_quirks() # .id_table pci_error_handlers() # roll-your-own AER handling, drivers/misc/cxl/guest.c I think it would be fine to use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for these few.Converting these will be patch 7 then and patch 8 can then drop the duplicated handling. Sounds reasonable?
Sounds good to me. Thanks for working on this! Bjorn
