(linux)platform_driver_probe与platform_driver_register的区别
[驱动注册]platform_driver_register()与platform_device_register()
(1)先插上USB设备并挂到总线中，然后在安装USB驱动程序过程中从总线上遍历各个设备，看驱动程序是否与其相匹配，如果匹配就将两者邦定。这就是platform_driver_register()
(2)先安装USB驱动程序，然后当有USB设备插入时，那么就遍历总线上的各个驱动，看两者是否匹配，如果匹配就将其绑定。这就是platform_device_register()函数

从Linux2.6内核起，引入一套新的驱动管理和注册机制：platform_device 和 platform_driver 。Linux 中大部分的设备驱动，都可以使用这套机制，设备用 platform_device 表示；驱动用 platform_driver 进行注册。
Linux platform driver 机制和传统的device driver机制（即：通过 driver_register 函数进行注册）相比，一个十分明显的优势在于platform机制将设备本身的资源注册进内核，由内核统一管理，在驱动程序中用使用这些资源时，通过platform device提供的标准接口进行申请并使用。
platform 是一个虚拟的地址总线，相比 PCI、USB，它主要用于描述SOC上的片上资源。platform 所描述的资源有一个共同点：在CPU 的总线上直接取址。平台设备会分到一个名称（用在驱动绑定中）以及一系列诸如地址和中断请求号（IRQ）之类的资源。
platform 总线下驱动的开发步骤是：
1、 设备
需要实现的结构体是：platform_device 。
1）初始化 resource 结构变量
2）初始化 platform_device 结构变量
3）向系统注册设备：platform_device_register。
以上三步，必须在设备驱动加载前完成，即执行platform_driver_register（）之前，原因是驱动注册时需要匹配内核中所有已注册的设备名。platform_driver_register（）中添加device到内核最终还是调用的device_add函数。Platform_device_add和device_add最主要的区别是多了一步insert_resource（p, r），即将platform资源（resource）添加进内核，由内核统一管理。
2、驱动
驱动注册中，需要实现的结构体是：platform_driver 。
在驱动程序的初始化函数中，调用了platform_driver_register（）注册 platform_driver 。需要注意的是：platform_driver 和 platform_device 中的 name 变量的值必须是相同的 。这样在 platform_driver_register（） 注册时，会将当前注册的 platform_driver 中的 name 变量的值和已注册的所有 platform_device 中的 name 变量的值进行比较，只有找到具有相同名称的 platform_device 才能注册成功。当注册成功时，会调用 platform_driver 结构元素 probe 函数指针。
platform_driver_register（）的注册过程：
1 platform_driver_register（&s3c2410fb_driver）
2 driver_register（&drv->driver）
3 bus_add_driver（drv）
4 driver_attach（drv）
5 bus_for_each_dev（drv->bus, NULL, drv, __driver_attach）
6 __driver_attach（struct device * dev, void * data）
7 driver_probe_device（drv, dev）
8 really_probe（dev, drv）
在really_probe（）中：为设备指派管理该设备的驱动：dev->driver = drv, 调用probe（）函数初始化设备：drv->probe（dev）

platform_device_系列函数及其设备注册的作用 http://blog.csdn.net/maopig/article/details/7410055
platform_device_系列函数，实际上是注册了一个叫platform的虚拟总线。使用约定是如果一个不属于任何总线的设备，例如蓝牙，串口等设备，都需要挂在这个虚拟总线上。

}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_register);
要用注册一个platform驱动的步骤：
1，注册设备platform_device_register
2，注册驱动platform_driver_register
注册时候的两个名字必须一样，才能match上，才能work,例如：
struct platform_device pxa3xx_device_nand = {
.name = "pxa3xx-nand",
.id = -1,
.dev = {
.dma_mask = &pxa3xx_nand_dma_mask,
.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32),
},
.resource = pxa3xx_resource_nand,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa3xx_resource_nand),
};
static struct platform_driver pxa3xx_nand_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "pxa3xx-nand",
},
.probe = pxa3xx_nand_probe,
.remove = pxa3xx_nand_remove,
#ifdef CONFIG_PM
.suspend = pxa3xx_nand_suspend,
.resume = pxa3xx_nand_resume,
#endif
};
而且device注册的时候，可以给driver传参数
struct device {
struct klist klist_children;
struct klist_node knode_parent; /* node in sibling list */
struct klist_node knode_driver;
struct klist_node knode_bus;
struct device *parent;
struct kobject kobj;
char bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE]; /* position on parent bus */
struct device_type *type;
unsigned is_registered:1;
unsigned uevent_suppress:1;
struct semaphore sem; /* semaphore to synchronize calls to
* its driver.
*/
struct bus_type *bus; /* type of bus device is on */
struct device_driver *driver; /* which driver has allocated this
device */
void *driver_data; /* data private to the driver */
void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
core doesn't touch it */
struct dev_pm_info power;
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
int numa_node; /* NUMA node this device is close to */
#endif
u64 *dma_mask; /* dma mask (if dma'able device) */
u64 coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for
alloc_coherent mappings as
not all hardware supports
64 bit addresses for consistent
allocations such descriptors. */
struct device_dma_parameters *dma_parms;
struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */
struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem
override */
/* arch specific additions */
struct dev_archdata archdata;
spinlock_t devres_lock;
struct list_head devres_head;
/* class_device migration path */
struct list_head node;
struct class *class;
dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */
void (*release)(struct device *dev);
};
传参数都是通过platform_data传，所以定义为void *
void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
static struct pxa3xx_nand_platform_data XXX_nand_info = {
.parts = android_256m_v75_partitions,
.nr_parts = ARRAY_SIZE(android_256m_v75_partitions),
};
static void __init XXX_init_nand(void)
{
pxa3xx_device_nand.dev.platform_data = &XXX_nand_info;
platform_device_register(&pxa3xx_device_nand);
}
static int __init pxa3xx_nand_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct pxa3xx_nand_platform_data *pdata;
struct nand_chip *this;
struct pxa3xx_nand_info *info;
struct resource *res;
struct clk *clk = NULL, *smc_clk = NULL;
int status = -1;
struct mtd_partition *parts;
unsigned int data_buf_len;
#ifdef CONFIG_MTD_NAND_PXA3xx_DMA
unsigned int buf_len;
#endif
int i, ret = 0;
#ifdef CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
int err;
#endif
pdata = pdev->dev.platform_data;
....
....
....
}
下面解释一下pxa_register_device函数
pxa_set_ohci_info(&XXX_ohci_info);
void __init pxa_set_ohci_info(struct pxaohci_platform_data *info)
{
pxa_register_device(&pxa27x_device_ohci, info);
}
void __init pxa_register_device(struct platform_device *dev, void *data)
{
int ret;
dev->dev.platform_data = data;
ret = platform_device_register(dev);
if (ret)
dev_err(&dev->dev, "unable to register device: %d\n", ret);
}
其实上，也就是给driver传参数，通过dev.platform_data。
到这里，platform_device系列函数，基本算通了，系列函数还有一堆设置的函数，和device_register同级别的那些功能函数，用法基本差不多，只不过都将设备挂在了platform总线上。
platform_device_register向系统注册设备
platform_driver_register向系统注册驱动，过程中在系统寻找注册的设备（根据.name)，找到后运行.probe进行初始化。
***************************************************************
device_register()和platform_device_register()的区别(转载)
首先看device和platform_device区别
由struct platform_device {
const char * name; //NOTE:此处设备的命名应和相应驱动程序命名一致
u32 id; //以实现driver binding
struct device dev;
u32 num_resources;
struct resource * resource;
};
可知：platform_device由device派生而来
内核中关于Platform devices的注释
Platform devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Platform devices are devices that typically appear as autonomous
entities in the system. This includes legacy port-based devices and
host bridges to peripheral buses, and most controllers integrated
into system-on-chip platforms. What they usually have in common
is direct addressing from a CPU bus. Rarely, a platform_device will
be connected through a segment of some other kind of bus; but its
registers will still be directly addressable.
Platform devices are given a name, used in driver binding, and a
list of resources such as addresses and IRQs.
个人理解：Platform devices是相对独立的设备，拥有各自独自的资源（addresses and IRQs）
一个Platform devices实例：
static struct platform_device *smdk2410_devices[] __initdata = {
& s3c_device_usb, //片上的各个设备
&s3c_device_lcd, //下面以s3c_device_lcd为例
&s3c_device_wdt,
& s3c_device_i2c,
& s3c_device_iis,
};
/* LCD Controller */
static struct resource s3c_lcd_resource[] = { //LCD的两个资源
[0] = {
.start = S3C2410_PA_LCD,
.end = S3C2410_PA_LCD + S3C2410_SZ_LCD,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[1] = {
.start = IRQ_LCD,
.end = IRQ_LCD,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
}
};
struct platform_device s3c_device_lcd = {//s3c_device_lcd设备
.name = "s3c2410-lcd",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_lcd_resource),
.resource = s3c_lcd_resource,
.dev = { //device实例
.dma_mask = &s3c_device_lcd_dmamask,
.coherent_dma_mask = 0xffffffffUL
}
};
s3c_device_lcd的resource中硬件地址:
#define S3C2410_LCDREG(x) ((x) + S3C2410_VA_LCD)
/* LCD control registers */
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x00)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON2 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x04)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON3 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x08)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON4 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x0C)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON5 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x10)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_CLKVAL(x) ((x) << 8)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_MMODE (1<<7)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_DSCAN4 (0<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_STN4 (1<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_STN8 (2<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_TFT (3<<5)
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
#define S3C2410_ADDR(x) (0xF0000000 + (x))
/* LCD controller */
#define S3C2410_VA_LCD S3C2410_ADDR(0x00600000)
#define S3C2410_PA_LCD (0x4D000000)
#define S3C2410_SZ_LCD SZ_1M
再分析device_register()和platform_device_register()的实现代码：
device_register()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**
* device_register - register a device with the system.
* @dev: pointer to the device structure
*
* This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device
* and add it to the system. The two steps can be called
* separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
* I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if
* have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
* before it is added to the hierarchy.
*/
int device_register(struct device *dev)
{
device_initialize(dev); //初始化设备结构
return device_add(dev); //添加设备到设备层
}
platform_device_register()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

*
*/
int platform_device_register(struct platform_device * pdev)
{
device_initialize(&pdev->dev); //初始化设备结构
return platform_device_add(pdev); //添加一个片上的设备到设备层
}
由以上函数可知：device_register()和platform_device_register()都会首先初始化设备
区别在于第二步：其实platform_device_add()包括device_add(),只不过要先注册resources
platform_device_add()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**

原文地址:http://blog.chinaunix.net/u1/58968/showart_467998.html ,
在8250.c(driver/serial/8250.c)的初始化函数serial8250_init（）中，给出了一个很简单的例子
static struct platform_device *serial8250_isa_devs;
......
//create a platform_device
serial8250_isa_devs = platform_device_alloc("serial8250",PLAT8250_DEV_LEGACY);
platform_device_add(serial8250_isa_devs); //add the platform_device to system
platform_driver_register(&serial8250_isa_driver);//then register the platform_driver
还有另外一个比较类似的比较，就是driver_register和platform_driver_register的比较
platform_driver_register(&xx_driver) 会向系统注册xx_driver这个驱动程序，这个函数会根据 xx_driver中的.name内容，搜索系统注册的device中有没有这个platform_device,如果有，就会执行 platform_driver(也就是xx_driver的类型)中的.probe函数。
对只需要初始化运行一次的函数都加上__init属性，__init 宏告诉编译器如果这个模块被编译到内核则把这个函数放到（.init.text）段，module_exit的参数卸载时同__init类似，如果驱动被编译进内核，则__exit宏会忽略清理函数，因为编译进内核的模块不需要做清理工作，显然__init和__exit对动态加载的模块是无效的，只支持完全编译进内核。
