platform_device_register()注册过程
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/* arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-smdk2410.c */
struct platform_device s3c_device_i2c = {
.name = "s3c2410-i2c",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_i2c_resource),

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
}
/**

* @pdev: platform device we're adding *
* This is part 2 of platform_device_register(), though may be called
* separately _iff_ pdev was allocated by platform_device_alloc().
*/
int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int i, ret = 0;
if (!pdev)
return -EINVAL;
if (!pdev->dev.parent)
pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;
pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
if (pdev->id != -1)
snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%d", pdev->name,
pdev->id); /* 若支持同类多个设备，则用pdev->name和pdev->id在总线上标识该设备 */
else
strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE); /* 否则，用pdev->name(如"s3c2410-i2c")在总线上标识该设备 */

for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) { /* 遍历资源数，并为各自在总线地址空间请求分配 */
struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];
if (r->name == NULL)
r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;
p = r->parent;
if (!p) {
if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
p = &iomem_resource; /* 作为IO内存资源分配 */
else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
p = &ioport_resource; /* 作为IO Port资源分配 */
}
if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) { /* 将新的resource插入内核resource tree */
printk(KERN_ERR
"%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",
pdev->dev.bus_id, i);
ret = -EBUSY;
goto failed;
}
}
pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);
ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);
if (ret == 0)
return ret;
failed:
while (--i >= 0)
if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))
release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);
return ret;
}
这里发现，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。
platform_driver_register()注册过程
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
static struct platform_driver s3c2410_i2c_driver = {
.probe = s3c24xx_i2c_probe,
.remove = s3c24xx_i2c_remove,
.resume = s3c24xx_i2c_resume,
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "s3c2410-i2c",
},
};
platform_driver_register(&s3c2410fb_driver)----->
driver_register(&drv->driver)----->
bus_add_driver(drv)----->
driver_attach(drv)----->
bus_for_each_dev(drv->bus, NULL, drv, __driver_attach)----->
__driver_attach(struct device * dev, void * data)----->
driver_probe_device(drv, dev)----->
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)
