The reason why the API will be removed is because it gives false impression that the properties are assigned directly to the devices, which has actually never been the case - the properties have always been assigned to a software fwnode which was then just directly linked with the device when the old API was used. By only accepting device properties instead of complete software nodes, the subsystems remove any change of taking advantage of the other features the software nodes have. The change that is required from the spi subsystem and the drivers is trivial. Basically only the "properties" member in struct spi_board_info, which was a pointer to struct property_entry, is replaced with a pointer to a complete software node. thanks, Heikki Krogerus (4): spi: Add support for software nodes ARM: pxa: icontrol: Constify the software node ARM: pxa: zeus: Constify the software node spi: Remove support for dangling device properties arch/arm/mach-pxa/icontrol.c | 12 ++++++++---- arch/arm/mach-pxa/zeus.c | 6 +++++- drivers/spi/spi.c | 21 ++++++--------------- include/linux/spi/spi.h | 7 +++---- 4 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) -- 2.30.1
