PLATFORM_DRIVER_PROB(9) | Device drivers infrastructure | PLATFORM_DRIVER_PROB(9) |
NAME¶
platform_driver_probe - register driver for non-hotpluggable deviceSYNOPSIS¶
int
platform_driver_probe(struct platform_driver * drv,
int (*probe) (struct platform_device *));
ARGUMENTS¶
drvplatform driver structure
probe
the driver probe routine, probably from an
__init section
DESCRIPTION¶
Use this instead of platform_driver_register when you know the device is not hotpluggable and has already been registered, and you want to remove its run-once probe infrastructure from memory after the driver has bound to the device. One typical use for this would be with drivers for controllers integrated into system-on-chip processors, where the controller devices have been configured as part of board setup. Returns zero if the driver registered and bound to a device, else returns a negative error code and with the driver not registered.COPYRIGHT¶
