Using "arch" in the name is wrong, it's pseries specific so pseries_find_drc_match() would be more appropriate. >> +int arch_find_drc_match(struct device_node *dn, >> + bool (*usercb)(struct device_node *dn, >> + u32 drc_index, char *drc_name, >> + char *drc_type, u32 drc_power_domain, >> + void *data), >> + char *opt_drc_type, char *opt_drc_name, >> + bool match_drc_index, bool ck_php_type, >> + void *data); This function signature is kind of insane. You end with calls like: + return arch_find_drc_match(dn, rpaphp_add_slot_cb, + NULL, NULL, false, true, NULL); Which is impossible to parse. I feel like maybe this isn't the right level of abstraction. cheers
