Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] driver core: Remove device link creation limitation
Rafael,
This is the fix you need. Or something link this.
I had asked you to reject DL_FLAG_MANAGED as an input flag if you are
marking it as internal (in the comments). But looks like you were also
trying to check for "undefined" bit positions. However, the check
isn't correct because DL_MANAGED_FLAGS doesn't include (rightfully so)
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME and DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE .
I tried to write a DL_FLAG_EXTERNAL to include all the external flags,
but that felt like a maintenance headache that's not worth carrying. I
think it's simpler to just error out when internal flags being passed
in and ignore any undefined bit positions.
Feel free to squash this into your patch. Or if people would rather
have me do a separate patch, that's fine too. Sorry I missed this
during the review.
