[PATCH 0/3] ACPI / dock: Rework the handling of dock notifications

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi All,

This is on top of the current linux-next branch of linux-pm.git.

The handling of ACPI dock notifications doesn't require a notify handler to
be installed for every dock device object.  Moreover, the namespace doesn't
have to be scanned upfront to discover those objects and the ACPI container
code should be made avoid trying to handle dock notifications (in case dock
stations have container device IDs).

The series makes the changes following from the above observations and a
couple of improvements on top of them.

[1/3] Dispatch ACPI dock notifications from the global notify handler.
[2/3] Pass ACPI device pointer to acpi_device_is_battery() (which is a new
      helper function added by [1/3]).
[3/3] Associate dock platform devices with ACPI device objects

Thanks!

I speak only for myself.

[PATCH 1/3] ACPI / dock: Dispatch dock notifications from the global notify handler

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The ACPI dock station code carries out an extra namespace scan
before the main one in order to find and register all of the dock
device objects.  Then, it registers a notify handler for each of
them for handling dock events.

However, dock device objects need not be scanned for upfront.  They
very well can be enumerated and registered during the first phase
of the main namespace scan, before attaching scan handlers and ACPI
drivers to ACPI device objects.  Then, the dependent devices can be
added to the in the second phase.  That makes it possible to drop
the extra namespace scan, so do it.

Moreover, it is not necessary to register notify handlers for all
of the dock stations' namespace nodes, becuase notifications may
be dispatched from the global notify handler for them.  Do that and
drop two functions used for dock notify handling, acpi_dock_deferred_cb()
and dock_notify_handler(), that aren't necessary any more.

Finally, some dock station objects have _HID objects matching the
ACPI container scan handler which causes it to claim those objects
and try to handle their hotplug, but that is not a good idea,
because those objects have their own special hotplug handling anyway.
For this reason, the hotplug_notify flag should not be set for ACPI
device objects representing dock stations and the container scan
handler should be made ignore those objects, so make that happen.

[PATCH 2/3] ACPI / dock: Pass ACPI device pointer to acpi_device_is_battery()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Since we already know what the device's PNP IDs are when
acpi_device_is_battery() is called, it is not necessary to run
acpi_get_object_info() for the device in that function.  Instead, if
acpi_device_is_battery() is passed a pointer to a struct acpi_device
object, it can use the list of PNP IDs from that object, so make that
happen and modify the function's header accordingly

[PATCH 3/3] ACPI / dock: Associate dock platform devices with ACPI device objects

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

To allow user space to check which ACPI device object the dock
station is represented by, make acpi_dock_add() indicate to
platform_device_register_full() which ACPI device object should
be the companion of the new platform device.

This also ensures that the ACPI device object in question will
not go away while the dock platform device is present (which is
always).

[Update][PATCH 1/3] ACPI / dock: Dispatch dock notifications from the global notify handler

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The ACPI dock station code carries out an extra namespace scan
before the main one in order to find and register all of the dock
device objects.  Then, it registers a notify handler for each of
them for handling dock events.

However, dock device objects need not be scanned for upfront.  They
very well can be enumerated and registered during the first phase
of the main namespace scan, before attaching scan handlers and ACPI
drivers to ACPI device objects.  Then, the dependent devices can be
added to the in the second phase.  That makes it possible to drop
the extra namespace scan, so do it.

Moreover, it is not necessary to register notify handlers for all
of the dock stations' namespace nodes, becuase notifications may
be dispatched from the global notify handler for them.  Do that and
drop two functions used for dock notify handling, acpi_dock_deferred_cb()
and dock_notify_handler(), that aren't necessary any more.

Finally, some dock station objects have _HID objects matching the
ACPI container scan handler which causes it to claim those objects
and try to handle their hotplug, but that is not a good idea,
because those objects have their own special hotplug handling anyway.
For this reason, the hotplug_notify flag should not be set for ACPI
device objects representing dock stations and the container scan
handler should be made ignore those objects, so make that happen.
