1 何谓platform bus？
Linux系统中许多部分对设备是如何链接的并不感兴趣，但是他们需要知道哪些类型的设备是可以使用的。设备模型提供了一种机制来对设备进行分类，在更高的功能层面上描述这些设备，并使得这些设备对用户空间可见。因此从2.6内核开始引入了设备模型。
总线是处理器和一个或多个设备之间的通道，在设备模型中, 所有的设备都通过总线相连。总线可以相互插入。设备模型展示了总线和它们所控制的设备之间的实际连接。
Platform总线是2.6 kernel中最近引入的一种虚拟总线，主要用来管理CPU的片上资源，具有更好的移植性，因此在2.6 kernel中，很多驱动都用platform改写了。
platform_bus_type的定义如下: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L609 609struct bus_type platform_bus_type = {
610 .name = "platform",
611 .dev_attrs = platform_dev_attrs,
612 .match = platform_match,
613 .uevent = platform_uevent,
614 .suspend = platform_suspend,
615 .suspend_late = platform_suspend_late,
616 .resume_early = platform_resume_early,
617 .resume = platform_resume,
618};
619EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus_type);
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L55 55struct bus_type {
56 const char *name;
57 struct bus_attribute *bus_attrs;
58 struct device_attribute *dev_attrs;
59 struct driver_attribute *drv_attrs;
60
61 int (*match)(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv);
62 int (*uevent)(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env);
63 int (*probe)(struct device *dev);
64 int (*remove)(struct device *dev);
65 void (*shutdown)(struct device *dev);
66
67 int (*suspend)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
68 int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
69 int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev);
70 int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
71
72 struct bus_type_private *p;
73};
总线名称是"platform"，其只是bus_type的一种，定义了总线的属性，同时platform_bus_type还有相关操作方法，如挂起、中止、匹配及hotplug事件等。
总线bus是联系driver和device的中间枢纽。Device通过所属的bus找到driver，由match操作方法进行匹配。
Bus、driver及devices的连接关系
2 device和platform_device
Plarform device会有一个名字用于driver binding（在注册driver的时候会查找driver的目标设备的bus位置，这个过程称为driver binding），另外IRQ以及地址空间等资源也要给出 。
platform_device结构体用来描述设备的名称、资源信息等。该结构被定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L16中，定义原型如下：
16struct platform_device {
17 const char * name; //定义平台设备的名称，此处设备的命名应和相应驱动程序命名一致
18 int id;
19 struct device dev;
20 u32 num_resources;
21 struct resource * resource; //定义平台设备的资源
22};
在这个结构里封装了struct device及struct resource。可知：platform_device由device派生而来，是一种特殊的device。
下面来看一下platform_device结构体中最重要的一个成员struct resource * resource。struct resource被定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/ioport.h#L18中，定义原型如下：
14/*
15 * Resources are tree-like, allowing
16 * nesting etc..
17 */
18struct resource {
19 resource_size_t start; //定义资源的起始地址
20 resource_size_t end; //定义资源的结束地址
21 const char *name; //定义资源的名称
22 unsigned long flags; 定义资源的类型，比如MEM，IO，IRQ，DMA类型
23 struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
24};
这个结构表示设备所拥有的资源，即I/O端口、I/O映射内存、中断及DMA等。这里的地址指的是物理地址。
另外还需要注意platform_device中的device结构，它详细描述了设备的情况，其为所有设备的基类，定义如下： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L422 422struct device {
423 struct klist klist_children;
424 struct klist_node knode_parent; /* node in sibling list */
425 struct klist_node knode_driver;
426 struct klist_node knode_bus;
427 struct device *parent;
428
429 struct kobject kobj;
430 char bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE]; /* position on parent bus */
431 struct device_type *type;
432 unsigned is_registered:1;
433 unsigned uevent_suppress:1;
434
435 struct semaphore sem; /* semaphore to synchronize calls to
436 * its driver.
437 */
438
439 struct bus_type *bus; /* type of bus device is on */
440 struct device_driver *driver; /* which driver has allocated this
441 device */
442 void *driver_data; /* data private to the driver */
443 void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
444 core doesn't touch it */
445 struct dev_pm_info power;
446
447#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
448 int numa_node; /* NUMA node this device is close to */
449#endif
450 u64 *dma_mask; /* dma mask (if dma'able device) */
451 u64 coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for
452 alloc_coherent mappings as
453 not all hardware supports
454 64 bit addresses for consistent
455 allocations such descriptors. */
456
457 struct device_dma_parameters *dma_parms;
458
459 struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */
460
461 struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem
462 override */
463 /* arch specific additions */
464 struct dev_archdata archdata;
465
466 spinlock_t devres_lock;
467 struct list_head devres_head;
468
469 /* class_device migration path */
470 struct list_head node;
471 struct class *class;
472 dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
473 struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */
474
475 void (*release)(struct device *dev);
476};
477
3 device_register和platform_device_register
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/core.c#L881 870/**
871 * device_register - register a device with the system.
872 * @dev: pointer to the device structure
873 *
874 * This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device
875 * and add it to the system. The two steps can be called
876 * separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
877 * I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if
878 * have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
879 * before it is added to the hierarchy.
880 */
881int device_register(struct device *dev)
882{
883 device_initialize(dev);
884 return device_add(dev);
885}
初始化一个设备，然后加入到系统中。
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L325 316/**
317 * platform_device_register - add a platform-level device
318 * @pdev: platform device we're adding
319 */
320int platform_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
321{
322 device_initialize(&pdev->dev);
323 return platform_device_add(pdev);
324}
325EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_register);
我们看到注册一个platform device分为了两部分，初始化这个platform_device，然后将此platform_device添加到platform总线中。输入参数platform_device可以是静态的全局设备。
另外一种机制就是动态申请platform_device_alloc一个platform_device设备，然后通过platform_device_add_resources及platform_device_add_data等添加相关资源和属性。
无论哪一种platform_device，最终都将通过platform_device_add这册到platform总线上。
229/**
230 * platform_device_add - add a platform device to device hierarchy
231 * @pdev: platform device we're adding
232 *
233 * This is part 2 of platform_device_register(), though may be called
234 * separately _iff_ pdev was allocated by platform_device_alloc().
235 */
236int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
237{
238 int i, ret = 0;
239
240 if (!pdev)
241 return -EINVAL;
242
初始化设备的parent为platform_bus，初始化驱备的总线为platform_bus_type。
243 if (!pdev->dev.parent)
244 pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;
245
246 pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
247
/*＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋

It's built from two components:
* platform_device.name ... which is also used to for driver matching.
* platform_device.id ... the device instance number, or else "-1"
to indicate there's only one.
These are concatenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and
"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver
named "serial". While "my_rtc"/-1 would be bus_id "my_rtc" (no instance id)
and use the platform_driver called "my_rtc".
＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋*/
248 if (pdev->id != -1)
249 snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%d", pdev->name,
250 pdev->id);
251 else
252 strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE);
253
设置设备struct device 的bus_id成员，留心这个地方，在以后还需要用到这个的。
254 for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) {
255 struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];
256
257 if (r->name == NULL)
258 r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;
259
260 p = r->parent;
261 if (!p) {
262 if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
263 p = &iomem_resource;
264 else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
265 p = &ioport_resource;
266 }
//resources分为两种IORESOURCE_MEM和IORESOURCE_IO
//CPU对外设IO端口物理地址的编址方式有两种：I/O映射方式和内存映射方式
267
268 if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) {
269 printk(KERN_ERR
270 "%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",
271 pdev->dev.bus_id, i);
272 ret = -EBUSY;
273 goto failed;
274 }
275 }
276
277 pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
278 pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);
279
280 ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);
281 if (ret == 0)
282 return ret;
283
284 failed:
285 while (--i >= 0)
286 if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))
287 release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);
288 return ret;
289}
290EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_add);
由platform_device_register和platform_device_add的实现可知，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()，不过要先注册resources，然后将设备挂接到特定的platform总线。
4 device_driver和platform driver
Platform device是一种device自己是不会做事情的，要有人为它做事情，那就是platform driver。platform driver遵循linux系统的driver model。对于device的discovery/enumerate都不是driver自己完成的而是由由系统的driver注册机制完成。driver编写人员只要将注册必须的数据结构初始化并调用注册driver的kernel API就可以了。
接下来来看platform_driver结构体的原型定义，在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L48中，代码如下：
48 struct platform_driver {
49 int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
50 int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
51 void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
52 int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
53 int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
54 int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
55 int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
56 struct device_driver driver;
57};
可见，它包含了设备操作的几个功能函数，同时包含了一个device_driver结构，说明device_driver是platform_driver的基类。驱动程序中需要初始化这个变量。下面看一下这个变量的定义，位于http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L121中：
121struct device_driver {
122 const char *name;
123 struct bus_type *bus;
124
125 struct module *owner;
126 const char *mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
127
128 int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
129 int (*remove) (struct device *dev);
130 void (*shutdown) (struct device *dev);
131 int (*suspend) (struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
132 int (*resume) (struct device *dev);
133 struct attribute_group **groups;
134
135 struct driver_private *p;
136};
device_driver提供了一些操作接口，但其并没有实现，相当于一些虚函数，由派生类platform_driver进行重载，无论何种类型的driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的，具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的，这样就实现了面向对象的设计。
需要注意这两个变量：name和owner。其作用主要是为了和相关的platform_device关联起来，owner的作用是说明模块的所有者，驱动程序中一般初始化为THIS_MODULE。
device_driver结构中也有一个name变量。platform_driver从字面上来看就知道是设备驱动。设备驱动是为谁服务的呢？当然是设备了。内核正是通过这个一致性来为驱动程序找到资源，即 platform_device中的resource。
5 driver_register 和platform_driver_register
内核提供的platform_driver结构体的注册函数为platform_driver_register（），其原型定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L458文件中，具体实现代码如下：
439/**
440 * platform_driver_register
441 * @drv: platform driver structure
442 */
443int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv)
444{
445 drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type;
/*设置成platform_bus_type这个很重要，因为driver和device是通过bus联系在一起的，具体在本例中是通过 platform_bus_type中注册的回调例程和属性来是实现的， driver与device的匹配就是通过 platform_bus_type注册的回调例程platform_match ()来完成的。*/
446 if (drv->probe)
447 drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe;
//在really_probe函数中，回调了platform_drv_probe函数
448 if (drv->remove)
449 drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove;
450 if (drv->shutdown)
451 drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown;
452 if (drv->suspend)
453 drv->driver.suspend = platform_drv_suspend;
454 if (drv->resume)
455 drv->driver.resume = platform_drv_resume;
456 return driver_register(&drv->driver);
457}
458EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_driver_register);
不要被上面的platform_drv_XXX吓倒了，它们其实很简单，就是将struct device转换为struct platform_device和struct platform_driver，然后调用platform_driver中的相应接口函数。那为什么不直接调用platform_drv_XXX等接口呢？这就是Linux内核中面向对象的设计思想。
device_driver提供了一些操作接口，但其并没有实现，相当于一些虚函数，由派生类platform_driver进行重载，无论何种类型的driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的，device_driver中具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的，这样就实现了面向对象的设计。
在文件http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/driver.c#L234中，实现了driver_register()函数。
209/**
210 * driver_register - register driver with bus
211 * @drv: driver to register
212 *
213 * We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call,
214 * since most of the things we have to do deal with the bus
215 * structures.
216 */
217int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv)
218{
219 int ret;
220
//如果总线的方法和设备自己的方法同时存在，将打印告警信息，对于platform bus，其没有probe等接口
221 if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) ||
222 (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) ||
223 (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown))
224 printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use "
225 "bus_type methods/n", drv->name);
226 ret = bus_add_driver(drv);
227 if (ret)
228 return ret;
229 ret = driver_add_groups(drv, drv->groups);
230 if (ret)
231 bus_remove_driver(drv);

551 * "<name>". So, extract the <name> from the platform_device structure,
552 * and compare it against the name of the driver. Return whether they match

554 */
555static int platform_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
556{

560 return (strncmp(pdev->name, drv->name, BUS_ID_SIZE) == 0);
561}
560，简单的进行字符串匹配，这也是我们强调platform_device和platform_driver中的name属性需要一致的原因。
匹配成功后，则调用probe接口。 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/dd.c#L101 98static atomic_t probe_count = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
99static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(probe_waitqueue);

101static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
102{
103 int ret = 0;
104
105 atomic_inc(&probe_count);
106 pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: probing driver %s with device %s/n",
107 drv->bus->name, __FUNCTION__, drv->name, dev->bus_id);
108 WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->devres_head));
109
110 dev->driver = drv;
111 if (driver_sysfs_add(dev)) {
112 printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_sysfs_add(%s) failed/n",
113 __FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id);
114 goto probe_failed;
115 }
116
117 if (dev->bus->probe) {
118 ret = dev->bus->probe(dev);
119 if (ret)
120 goto probe_failed;
121 } else if (drv->probe) {
122 ret = drv->probe(dev);
123 if (ret)
124 goto probe_failed;
125 }
126
127 driver_bound(dev);
128 ret = 1;
129 pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: bound device %s to driver %s/n",
130 drv->bus->name, __FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id, drv->name);
131 goto done;
132
133probe_failed:
134 devres_release_all(dev);
135 driver_sysfs_remove(dev);
136 dev->driver = NULL;
137
138 if (ret != -ENODEV && ret != -ENXIO) {
139 /* driver matched but the probe failed */
140 printk(KERN_WARNING
141 "%s: probe of %s failed with error %d/n",
142 drv->name, dev->bus_id, ret);
143 }
144 /*
145 * Ignore errors returned by ->probe so that the next driver can try
146 * its luck.
147 */
148 ret = 0;
149done:
150 atomic_dec(&probe_count);
151 wake_up(&probe_waitqueue);
152 return ret;
153}
154
如果bus和driver同时具备probe方法，则优先调用总线的probe函数。否则调用device_driver的probe函数，此probe函数是经过各种类型的driver重载的函数，这就实现了利用基类的统一方法来实现不同的功能。对于platform_driver来说，其就是： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L394 394static int platform_drv_probe(struct device *_dev)
395{
396 struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver);
397 struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev);
398
399 return drv->probe(dev);
400}
然后调用特定platform_driver所定义的操作方法，这个是在定义某个platform_driver时静态指定的操作接口。
至此，platform_driver成功挂接到platform bus上了，并与特定的设备实现了绑定，并对设备进行了probe处理。
6 bus、device及driver三者之间的关系
在数据结构设计上，总线、设备及驱动三者相互关联。
platform device包含device，根据device可以获得相应的bus及driver。
设备添加到总线上后形成一个双向循环链表，根据总线可以获得其上挂接的所有device，进而获得了 platform device。根据device也可以获得驱动该总线上所有设备的相关driver。
platform driver包含driver，根据driver可以获得相应的bus，进而获得bus上所有的device，进一步获得platform device，根据name对driver与platform device进行匹配，匹配成功后将device与相应的driver关联起来，即实现了platform device和platform driver的关联。
匹配成功后调用driver的probe进而调用platform driver的probe，在probe里实现驱动特定的功能。
7 哪些适用于plarform驱动？
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。这样提高了驱动和资源管理的独立性，这样拥有更好的可移植性。platform机制的本身使用并不复杂，由两部分组成：platform_device和platfrom_driver。Platform driver通过platform bus获取platform_device。
通常情况下只要和内核本身运行依赖性不大的外围设备，相对独立的，拥有各自独立的资源(地址总线和IRQs)，都可以用 platform_driver来管理，而timer，irq等小系统之内的设备则最好不用platfrom_driver机制。
platform_device最大的特定是CPU直接寻址设备的寄存器空间，即使对于其他总线设备，设备本身的寄存器无法通过CPU总线访问，但总线的controller仍然需要通过platform bus来管理。
总之，platfrom_driver的根本目的是为了统一管理系统的外设资源，为驱动程序提供统一的接口来访问系统资源，将驱动和资源分离，提高程序的可移植性。
8 基于platform总线的驱动开发流程
基于Platform总线的驱动开发流程如下：
• 定义初始化platform bus
• 定义各种platform devices
• 注册各种platform devices
• 定义相关platform driver
• 注册相关platform driver
• 操作相关设备
图 platform机制开发驱动流程
以S3C24xx平台为例，来简单讲述下platform驱动的实现流程。
8.1 初始化platform_bus
Platform总线的初始化是在platform_bus_init()完成的，代码如下: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L621 26struct device platform_bus = {
27 .bus_id = "platform",
28};
29EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus);
621int __init platform_bus_init(void)
622{
623 int error;
624
625 error = device_register(&platform_bus);
626 if (error)
627 return error;
628 error = bus_register(&platform_bus_type);
629 if (error)
630 device_unregister(&platform_bus);
631 return error;
632}
该函数创建了一个名为 “platform”的设备，后续platform的设备都会以此为parent。在sysfs中表示为：所有platform类型的设备都会添加在 platform_bus所代表的目录下，即 /sys/devices/platform下面。

platform_bus必须在系统注册任何platform driver和platform device之前初始化，那么这是如何实现的呢？

platform driver和platform device的初始化是在do_initcalls中进行的。
8.2 定义platform_device http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/devs.c#L276中定义了系统的资源，是一个高度可移植的文件，大部分板级资源都在这里集中定义。
274/* I2C */
275
276static struct resource s3c_i2c_resource[] = {
277 [0] = {
278 .start = S3C24XX_PA_IIC,
279 .end = S3C24XX_PA_IIC + S3C24XX_SZ_IIC - 1,
280 .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
281 },

289

292 .id = -1,
293 .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_i2c_resource),
294 .resource = s3c_i2c_resource,

296
297EXPORT_SYMBOL(s3c_device_i2c);
设备名称为s3c2410-i2c，“-1”只有一个i2c设备，两个资源s3c_i2c_resource，分别为i2c控制器的寄存器空间和中断信息。
8.3 注册platform_device
定义了platform_device后，需要添加到系统中，就可以调用函数platform_add_devices。 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/arch/arm/mach-s3c2440/mach-smdk2440.c
smdk2440_devices将系统资源组织起来，统一注册进内核。
151static struct platform_device *smdk2440_devices[] __initdata = {
152 &s3c_device_usb,
153 &s3c_device_lcd,
154 &s3c_device_wdt,
155 &s3c_device_i2c,
156 &s3c_device_iis,
157};
166static void __init smdk2440_machine_init(void)
167{
168 s3c24xx_fb_set_platdata(&smdk2440_fb_info);
169
170 platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
171 smdk_machine_init();
172}
173
174MACHINE_START(S3C2440, "SMDK2440")
175 /* Maintainer: Ben Dooks <ben@fluff.org> */
176 .phys_io = S3C2410_PA_UART,
177 .io_pg_offst = (((u32)S3C24XX_VA_UART) >> 18) & 0xfffc,
178 .boot_params = S3C2410_SDRAM_PA + 0x100,
179
180 .init_irq = s3c24xx_init_irq,
181 .map_io = smdk2440_map_io,
182 .init_machine = smdk2440_machine_init,
183 .timer = &s3c24xx_timer,
184MACHINE_END
170 platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
将系统所有资源注册进系统，在此之前platform bus需要初始化成功，否则无法将platform devices挂接到platform bus上。为了保证platform drive初始化时，相关platform资源已经注册进系统，smdk2440_machine_init需要很早执行，而其作为平台初始化init_machine 时，将优先于系统所有驱动的初始化。
其调用顺序如下：

start_kernel 》 rest_init（在setup_arch之后） 》 kernel_init 》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls（在driver_init()之后） ，因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了，便可将设备挂接到总线上了。
8.4 定义platform_driver
Platform bus和设备都定义好了后，需要定义一个platform driver用来驱动此设备。
对于设备来说：

296
297EXPORT_SYMBOL(s3c_device_i2c);
根据platform总线上device和driver的匹配规则可知，I2C 的platform driver的名字是s3c2410-i2c。

在i2c_adap_s3c_init中注册s3c2410_i2c_driver，那么i2c_adap_s3c_init何时执行的呢？module_init(i2c_adap_s3c_init)表明其存放在initcall段，调用顺序如下：
init/main.c
start_kernel 》 rest_init 》 kernel_init 》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls，因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了，且设备已经注册到内核中了，驱动将和内核绑定，并最终调用s3c24xx_i2c_probe。

当进入probe函数后，需要获取设备的资源信息，常用获取资源的函数主要是：
struct resource * platform_get_resource(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, unsigned int num);
根据参数type所指定类型，例如IORESOURCE_MEM，来获取指定的资源。
struct int platform_get_irq(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int num);
获取资源中的中断号。
struct resource * platform_get_resource_byname(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称，来获取指定的资源。
int platform_get_irq_byname(struct platform_device *dev, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称，来获取资源中的中断号。
此probe函数获取物理IO空间，通过request_mem_region和ioremap等操作物理地址转换成内核中的虚拟地址，初始化I2C控制器，通过platform_get_irq或platform_get_resource得到设备的中断号以后，就可以调用request_irq函数来向系统注册中断，并将此I2C控制器添加到系统中。
8.6 操作设备
进行了platform_device_register 和platform_driver_register后，驱动的相应信息就出现在sys目录的相应文件夹下，然后，我们该如何调用设备呢？？怎么对设备进行打开读写等操作呢？？？
Platform总线只是为了方便管理挂接在CPU总线上的设备，与用户空间的交互，如读写还是需要利用file_operations。当然如果此platform设备无需和用户空间交互，则无需file_operations实例。
对于I2C总线来说，其file_operations如下： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c#L461 478static const struct file_operations i2cdev_fops = {
479 .owner = THIS_MODULE,
480 .llseek = no_llseek,
481 .read = i2cdev_read,
482 .write = i2cdev_write,
483 .ioctl = i2cdev_ioctl,
484 .open = i2cdev_open,
485 .release = i2cdev_release,
486};
其和platform bus的区别在于，platform bus提供机制访问I2C 控制器本身的资源，而I2C总线提供访问I2C 控制器上挂接的I2C设备的机制。

1 何谓platform bus？
Linux系统中许多部分对设备是如何链接的并不感兴趣，但是他们需要知道哪些类型的设备是可以使用的。设备模型提供了一种机制来对设备进行分类，在更高的功能层面上描述这些设备，并使得这些设备对用户空间可见。因此从2.6内核开始引入了设备模型。
总线是处理器和一个或多个设备之间的通道，在设备模型中, 所有的设备都通过总线相连。总线可以相互插入。设备模型展示了总线和它们所控制的设备之间的实际连接。
Platform总线是2.6 kernel中最近引入的一种虚拟总线，主要用来管理CPU的片上资源，具有更好的移植性，因此在2.6 kernel中，很多驱动都用platform改写了。
platform_bus_type的定义如下: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L609 609struct bus_type platform_bus_type = {
610 .name = "platform",
611 .dev_attrs = platform_dev_attrs,
612 .match = platform_match,
613 .uevent = platform_uevent,
614 .suspend = platform_suspend,
615 .suspend_late = platform_suspend_late,
616 .resume_early = platform_resume_early,
617 .resume = platform_resume,
618};
619EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus_type);
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L55 55struct bus_type {
56 const char *name;
57 struct bus_attribute *bus_attrs;
58 struct device_attribute *dev_attrs;
59 struct driver_attribute *drv_attrs;
60
61 int (*match)(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv);
62 int (*uevent)(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env);
63 int (*probe)(struct device *dev);
64 int (*remove)(struct device *dev);
65 void (*shutdown)(struct device *dev);
66
67 int (*suspend)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
68 int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
69 int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev);
70 int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
71
72 struct bus_type_private *p;
73};
总线名称是"platform"，其只是bus_type的一种，定义了总线的属性，同时platform_bus_type还有相关操作方法，如挂起、中止、匹配及hotplug事件等。
总线bus是联系driver和device的中间枢纽。Device通过所属的bus找到driver，由match操作方法进行匹配。
Bus、driver及devices的连接关系
2 device和platform_device
Plarform device会有一个名字用于driver binding（在注册driver的时候会查找driver的目标设备的bus位置，这个过程称为driver binding），另外IRQ以及地址空间等资源也要给出 。
platform_device结构体用来描述设备的名称、资源信息等。该结构被定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L16中，定义原型如下：
16struct platform_device {
17 const char * name; //定义平台设备的名称，此处设备的命名应和相应驱动程序命名一致
18 int id;
19 struct device dev;
20 u32 num_resources;
21 struct resource * resource; //定义平台设备的资源
22};
在这个结构里封装了struct device及struct resource。可知：platform_device由device派生而来，是一种特殊的device。
下面来看一下platform_device结构体中最重要的一个成员struct resource * resource。struct resource被定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/ioport.h#L18中，定义原型如下：
14/*
15 * Resources are tree-like, allowing
16 * nesting etc..
17 */
18struct resource {
19 resource_size_t start; //定义资源的起始地址
20 resource_size_t end; //定义资源的结束地址
21 const char *name; //定义资源的名称
22 unsigned long flags; 定义资源的类型，比如MEM，IO，IRQ，DMA类型
23 struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
24};
这个结构表示设备所拥有的资源，即I/O端口、I/O映射内存、中断及DMA等。这里的地址指的是物理地址。
另外还需要注意platform_device中的device结构，它详细描述了设备的情况，其为所有设备的基类，定义如下： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L422 422struct device {
423 struct klist klist_children;
424 struct klist_node knode_parent; /* node in sibling list */
425 struct klist_node knode_driver;
426 struct klist_node knode_bus;
427 struct device *parent;
428
429 struct kobject kobj;
430 char bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE]; /* position on parent bus */
431 struct device_type *type;
432 unsigned is_registered:1;
433 unsigned uevent_suppress:1;
434
435 struct semaphore sem; /* semaphore to synchronize calls to
436 * its driver.
437 */
438
439 struct bus_type *bus; /* type of bus device is on */
440 struct device_driver *driver; /* which driver has allocated this
441 device */
442 void *driver_data; /* data private to the driver */
443 void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
444 core doesn't touch it */
445 struct dev_pm_info power;
446
447#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
448 int numa_node; /* NUMA node this device is close to */
449#endif
450 u64 *dma_mask; /* dma mask (if dma'able device) */
451 u64 coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for
452 alloc_coherent mappings as
453 not all hardware supports
454 64 bit addresses for consistent
455 allocations such descriptors. */
456
457 struct device_dma_parameters *dma_parms;
458
459 struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */
460
461 struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem
462 override */
463 /* arch specific additions */
464 struct dev_archdata archdata;
465
466 spinlock_t devres_lock;
467 struct list_head devres_head;
468
469 /* class_device migration path */
470 struct list_head node;
471 struct class *class;
472 dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
473 struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */
474
475 void (*release)(struct device *dev);
476};
477
3 device_register和platform_device_register
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/core.c#L881 870/**
871 * device_register - register a device with the system.
872 * @dev: pointer to the device structure
873 *
874 * This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device
875 * and add it to the system. The two steps can be called
876 * separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
877 * I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if
878 * have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
879 * before it is added to the hierarchy.
880 */
881int device_register(struct device *dev)
882{
883 device_initialize(dev);
884 return device_add(dev);
885}
初始化一个设备，然后加入到系统中。
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L325 316/**
317 * platform_device_register - add a platform-level device
318 * @pdev: platform device we're adding

320int platform_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
321{
322 device_initialize(&pdev->dev);
323 return platform_device_add(pdev);
324}
325EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_register);
我们看到注册一个platform device分为了两部分，初始化这个platform_device，然后将此platform_device添加到platform总线中。输入参数platform_device可以是静态的全局设备。
另外一种机制就是动态申请platform_device_alloc一个platform_device设备，然后通过platform_device_add_resources及platform_device_add_data等添加相关资源和属性。
无论哪一种platform_device，最终都将通过platform_device_add这册到platform总线上。
229/**

236int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
237{
238 int i, ret = 0;
239
240 if (!pdev)
241 return -EINVAL;
242
初始化设备的parent为platform_bus，初始化驱备的总线为platform_bus_type。
243 if (!pdev->dev.parent)

These are concatenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and
"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver

248 if (pdev->id != -1)
249 snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%d", pdev->name,
250 pdev->id);
251 else
252 strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE);
253
设置设备struct device 的bus_id成员，留心这个地方，在以后还需要用到这个的。
254 for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) {
255 struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];
256
257 if (r->name == NULL)
258 r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;
259
260 p = r->parent;
261 if (!p) {
262 if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
263 p = &iomem_resource;
264 else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
265 p = &ioport_resource;
266 }
//resources分为两种IORESOURCE_MEM和IORESOURCE_IO
//CPU对外设IO端口物理地址的编址方式有两种：I/O映射方式和内存映射方式
267
268 if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) {
269 printk(KERN_ERR
270 "%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",
271 pdev->dev.bus_id, i);
272 ret = -EBUSY;
273 goto failed;
274 }
275 }
276
277 pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
278 pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);
279
280 ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);
281 if (ret == 0)
282 return ret;
283
284 failed:
285 while (--i >= 0)
286 if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))
287 release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);
288 return ret;
289}
290EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_add);
由platform_device_register和platform_device_add的实现可知，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()，不过要先注册resources，然后将设备挂接到特定的platform总线。
4 device_driver和platform driver
Platform device是一种device自己是不会做事情的，要有人为它做事情，那就是platform driver。platform driver遵循linux系统的driver model。对于device的discovery/enumerate都不是driver自己完成的而是由由系统的driver注册机制完成。driver编写人员只要将注册必须的数据结构初始化并调用注册driver的kernel API就可以了。
接下来来看platform_driver结构体的原型定义，在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L48中，代码如下：
48 struct platform_driver {
49 int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
50 int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
51 void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
52 int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
53 int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
54 int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
55 int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
56 struct device_driver driver;
57};
可见，它包含了设备操作的几个功能函数，同时包含了一个device_driver结构，说明device_driver是platform_driver的基类。驱动程序中需要初始化这个变量。下面看一下这个变量的定义，位于http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L121中：
121struct device_driver {
122 const char *name;
123 struct bus_type *bus;
124
125 struct module *owner;
126 const char *mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
127
128 int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
129 int (*remove) (struct device *dev);
130 void (*shutdown) (struct device *dev);
131 int (*suspend) (struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
132 int (*resume) (struct device *dev);
133 struct attribute_group **groups;
134
135 struct driver_private *p;
136};
device_driver提供了一些操作接口，但其并没有实现，相当于一些虚函数，由派生类platform_driver进行重载，无论何种类型的driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的，具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的，这样就实现了面向对象的设计。
需要注意这两个变量：name和owner。其作用主要是为了和相关的platform_device关联起来，owner的作用是说明模块的所有者，驱动程序中一般初始化为THIS_MODULE。
device_driver结构中也有一个name变量。platform_driver从字面上来看就知道是设备驱动。设备驱动是为谁服务的呢？当然是设备了。内核正是通过这个一致性来为驱动程序找到资源，即 platform_device中的resource。
5 driver_register 和platform_driver_register
内核提供的platform_driver结构体的注册函数为platform_driver_register（），其原型定义在http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L458文件中，具体实现代码如下：
439/**
440 * platform_driver_register
441 * @drv: platform driver structure
442 */
443int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv)
444{
445 drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type;
/*设置成platform_bus_type这个很重要，因为driver和device是通过bus联系在一起的，具体在本例中是通过 platform_bus_type中注册的回调例程和属性来是实现的， driver与device的匹配就是通过 platform_bus_type注册的回调例程platform_match ()来完成的。*/
446 if (drv->probe)
447 drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe;
//在really_probe函数中，回调了platform_drv_probe函数
448 if (drv->remove)
449 drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove;
450 if (drv->shutdown)
451 drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown;
452 if (drv->suspend)
453 drv->driver.suspend = platform_drv_suspend;
454 if (drv->resume)
455 drv->driver.resume = platform_drv_resume;
456 return driver_register(&drv->driver);
457}
458EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_driver_register);
不要被上面的platform_drv_XXX吓倒了，它们其实很简单，就是将struct device转换为struct platform_device和struct platform_driver，然后调用platform_driver中的相应接口函数。那为什么不直接调用platform_drv_XXX等接口呢？这就是Linux内核中面向对象的设计思想。
device_driver提供了一些操作接口，但其并没有实现，相当于一些虚函数，由派生类platform_driver进行重载，无论何种类型的driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的，device_driver中具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的，这样就实现了面向对象的设计。
在文件http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/driver.c#L234中，实现了driver_register()函数。
209/**

217int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv)
218{
219 int ret;
220
//如果总线的方法和设备自己的方法同时存在，将打印告警信息，对于platform bus，其没有probe等接口

227 if (ret)
228 return ret;
229 ret = driver_add_groups(drv, drv->groups);

如果bus和driver同时具备probe方法，则优先调用总线的probe函数。否则调用device_driver的probe函数，此probe函数是经过各种类型的driver重载的函数，这就实现了利用基类的统一方法来实现不同的功能。对于platform_driver来说，其就是： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L394 394static int platform_drv_probe(struct device *_dev)
395{
396 struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver);
397 struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev);
398
399 return drv->probe(dev);
400}
然后调用特定platform_driver所定义的操作方法，这个是在定义某个platform_driver时静态指定的操作接口。
至此，platform_driver成功挂接到platform bus上了，并与特定的设备实现了绑定，并对设备进行了probe处理。
6 bus、device及driver三者之间的关系
在数据结构设计上，总线、设备及驱动三者相互关联。
platform device包含device，根据device可以获得相应的bus及driver。
设备添加到总线上后形成一个双向循环链表，根据总线可以获得其上挂接的所有device，进而获得了 platform device。根据device也可以获得驱动该总线上所有设备的相关driver。
platform driver包含driver，根据driver可以获得相应的bus，进而获得bus上所有的device，进一步获得platform device，根据name对driver与platform device进行匹配，匹配成功后将device与相应的driver关联起来，即实现了platform device和platform driver的关联。
匹配成功后调用driver的probe进而调用platform driver的probe，在probe里实现驱动特定的功能。
7 哪些适用于plarform驱动？
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。这样提高了驱动和资源管理的独立性，这样拥有更好的可移植性。platform机制的本身使用并不复杂，由两部分组成：platform_device和platfrom_driver。Platform driver通过platform bus获取platform_device。
通常情况下只要和内核本身运行依赖性不大的外围设备，相对独立的，拥有各自独立的资源(地址总线和IRQs)，都可以用 platform_driver来管理，而timer，irq等小系统之内的设备则最好不用platfrom_driver机制。
platform_device最大的特定是CPU直接寻址设备的寄存器空间，即使对于其他总线设备，设备本身的寄存器无法通过CPU总线访问，但总线的controller仍然需要通过platform bus来管理。
总之，platfrom_driver的根本目的是为了统一管理系统的外设资源，为驱动程序提供统一的接口来访问系统资源，将驱动和资源分离，提高程序的可移植性。
8 基于platform总线的驱动开发流程
基于Platform总线的驱动开发流程如下：
• 定义初始化platform bus
• 定义各种platform devices
• 注册各种platform devices
• 定义相关platform driver
• 注册相关platform driver
• 操作相关设备
图 platform机制开发驱动流程
以S3C24xx平台为例，来简单讲述下platform驱动的实现流程。
8.1 初始化platform_bus
Platform总线的初始化是在platform_bus_init()完成的，代码如下: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L621 26struct device platform_bus = {
27 .bus_id = "platform",
28};
29EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus);
621int __init platform_bus_init(void)
622{
623 int error;
624
625 error = device_register(&platform_bus);
626 if (error)
627 return error;
628 error = bus_register(&platform_bus_type);
629 if (error)
630 device_unregister(&platform_bus);
631 return error;
632}
该函数创建了一个名为 “platform”的设备，后续platform的设备都会以此为parent。在sysfs中表示为：所有platform类型的设备都会添加在 platform_bus所代表的目录下，即 /sys/devices/platform下面。

8.3 注册platform_device
定义了platform_device后，需要添加到系统中，就可以调用函数platform_add_devices。 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/arch/arm/mach-s3c2440/mach-smdk2440.c
smdk2440_devices将系统资源组织起来，统一注册进内核。
151static struct platform_device *smdk2440_devices[] __initdata = {
152 &s3c_device_usb,
153 &s3c_device_lcd,
154 &s3c_device_wdt,
155 &s3c_device_i2c,
156 &s3c_device_iis,
157};
166static void __init smdk2440_machine_init(void)

169
170 platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
171 smdk_machine_init();
172}
173
174MACHINE_START(S3C2440, "SMDK2440")

183 .timer = &s3c24xx_timer,
184MACHINE_END
170 platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
将系统所有资源注册进系统，在此之前platform bus需要初始化成功，否则无法将platform devices挂接到platform bus上。为了保证platform drive初始化时，相关platform资源已经注册进系统，smdk2440_machine_init需要很早执行，而其作为平台初始化init_machine 时，将优先于系统所有驱动的初始化。

各种xx_core_initcall被定义到了不同的分级的段中
所以arch_initcall == __initcall_fn3 它将被链接器放于section .initcall3.init. 中
module_init()==__initcall(fn)==device_initcall(fn)== __initcall_fn6
各个段的优先级由链接脚本定义 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h#L328 #define INITCALLS /
*(.initcall0.init) /
*(.initcall0s.init) /
*(.initcall1.init) /
*(.initcall1s.init) /
*(.initcall2.init) /
*(.initcall2s.init) /
*(.initcall3.init) /
*(.initcall3s.init) /
*(.initcall4.init) /
*(.initcall4s.init) /
*(.initcall5.init) /
*(.initcall5s.init) /
*(.initcallrootfs.init) /
*(.initcall6.init) /
*(.initcall6s.init) /
*(.initcall7.init) /
*(.initcall7s.init)
这个__initcall_start是在文件arch/xxx/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S定义的:
__initcall_start = .;
INITCALLS
__initcall_end = .;
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/init/main.c#L664 664static void __init do_initcalls(void)
665{
666 initcall_t *call;
667 int count = preempt_count();
668
669 for (call = __initcall_start; call < __initcall_end; call++) {
.。。。。
682
683 result = (*call)();
684
。。。 }
720 /* Make sure there is no pending stuff from the initcall sequence */
721 flush_scheduled_work();
722}
因此__initcall_fnx，数字越小，越先被调用，故arch_initcall优先于module_init所修饰的函数。
arch_initcall修饰的函数的调用顺序如下：
start_kernel 》 rest_init（在setup_arch之后） 》 kernel_init 》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls（在driver_init()之后） ，因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了，便可将设备挂接到总线上了。
8.4 定义platform_driver
Platform bus和设备都定义好了后，需要定义一个platform driver用来驱动此设备。
对于设备来说：
290struct platform_device s3c_device_i2c = {
291 .name = "s3c2410-i2c",
292 .id = -1,
293 .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_i2c_resource),
294 .resource = s3c_i2c_resource,
295};
296
297EXPORT_SYMBOL(s3c_device_i2c);
根据platform总线上device和driver的匹配规则可知，I2C 的platform driver的名字是s3c2410-i2c。
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c#L1 903/* device driver for platform bus bits */
904
905static struct platform_driver s3c2410_i2c_driver = {
906 .probe = s3c24xx_i2c_probe,
907 .remove = s3c24xx_i2c_remove,
908 .resume = s3c24xx_i2c_resume,
909 .driver = {
910 .owner = THIS_MODULE,
911 .name = "s3c2410-i2c",
912 },
913};
8.5 注册platform_driver http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c#L1
925static int __init i2c_adap_s3c_init(void)
926{
927 int ret;
928
929 ret = platform_driver_register(&s3c2410_i2c_driver);
930 if (ret == 0) {
931 ret = platform_driver_register(&s3c2440_i2c_driver);
932 if (ret)
933 platform_driver_unregister(&s3c2410_i2c_driver);
934 }
935
936 return ret;
937}
938
945module_init(i2c_adap_s3c_init);
946module_exit(i2c_adap_s3c_exit);
在i2c_adap_s3c_init中注册s3c2410_i2c_driver，那么i2c_adap_s3c_init何时执行的呢？module_init(i2c_adap_s3c_init)表明其存放在initcall段，调用顺序如下：
init/main.c
start_kernel 》 rest_init 》 kernel_init 》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls，因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了，且设备已经注册到内核中了，驱动将和内核绑定，并最终调用s3c24xx_i2c_probe。
748/* s3c24xx_i2c_probe

836 ret = i2c_add_adapter(&i2c->adap);
837 if (ret < 0) {
838 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add bus to i2c core/n");
839 goto err_irq;
840 }
841
842 platform_set_drvdata(pdev, i2c);
843
844 dev_info(&pdev->dev, "%s: S3C I2C adapter/n", i2c->adap.dev.bus_id);
845 return 0;

847 err_irq:

859 clk_put(i2c->clk);

863}
当进入probe函数后，需要获取设备的资源信息，常用获取资源的函数主要是：
struct resource * platform_get_resource(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, unsigned int num);
根据参数type所指定类型，例如IORESOURCE_MEM，来获取指定的资源。
struct int platform_get_irq(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int num);
获取资源中的中断号。
struct resource * platform_get_resource_byname(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称，来获取指定的资源。
int platform_get_irq_byname(struct platform_device *dev, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称，来获取资源中的中断号。
此probe函数获取物理IO空间，通过request_mem_region和ioremap等操作物理地址转换成内核中的虚拟地址，初始化I2C控制器，通过platform_get_irq或platform_get_resource得到设备的中断号以后，就可以调用request_irq函数来向系统注册中断，并将此I2C控制器添加到系统中。
8.6 操作设备
进行了platform_device_register 和platform_driver_register后，驱动的相应信息就出现在sys目录的相应文件夹下，然后，我们该如何调用设备呢？？怎么对设备进行打开读写等操作呢？？？
Platform总线只是为了方便管理挂接在CPU总线上的设备，与用户空间的交互，如读写还是需要利用file_operations。当然如果此platform设备无需和用户空间交互，则无需file_operations实例。
对于I2C总线来说，其file_operations如下： http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c#L461 478static const struct file_operations i2cdev_fops = {
479 .owner = THIS_MODULE,
480 .llseek = no_llseek,
481 .read = i2cdev_read,
482 .write = i2cdev_write,
483 .ioctl = i2cdev_ioctl,
484 .open = i2cdev_open,
485 .release = i2cdev_release,
486};
其和platform bus的区别在于，platform bus提供机制访问I2C 控制器本身的资源，而I2C总线提供访问I2C 控制器上挂接的I2C设备的机制。
