.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Create a new child device of
|
|
|
|
.Fa dev .
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fa unit
|
|
|
|
arguments specify the name and unit number of the device.
|
|
|
|
If the name is unknown then the caller should pass
|
|
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
2001-07-14 19:41:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If the unit is unknown then the caller should pass
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
.Dv -1
|
|
|
|
and the system will choose the next available unit number.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The name of the device is used to determine which drivers might be
|
2003-10-23 01:54:06 +00:00
|
|
|
appropriate for the device.
|
|
|
|
If a name is specified then only drivers of that name are probed.
|
2004-05-13 20:29:40 +00:00
|
|
|
If no name is given then all drivers for the owning bus are probed.
|
|
|
|
In any event, only the name of the device is stored so that one may
|
|
|
|
safely unload/load a driver bound to that name.
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2017-01-15 17:54:01 +00:00
|
|
|
This allows buses which can uniquely identify device instances (such
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
as PCI) to allow each driver to check each device instance for a
|
2003-10-23 01:54:06 +00:00
|
|
|
match.
|
2017-01-15 17:54:01 +00:00
|
|
|
For buses which rely on supplied probe hints where only one
|
2005-08-09 10:30:25 +00:00
|
|
|
driver can have a chance of probing the device, the driver name should
|
|
|
|
be specified as the device name.
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2001-07-14 19:41:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Normally unit numbers will be chosen automatically by the system and a
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
unit number of
|
|
|
|
.Dv -1
|
|
|
|
should be given.
|
2015-10-28 19:11:06 +00:00
|
|
|
When a specific unit number is desired (e.g.,\& for wiring a particular
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
piece of hardware to a pre-configured unit number), that unit should
|
2003-10-23 01:54:06 +00:00
|
|
|
be passed.
|
|
|
|
If the specified unit number is already allocated, a new
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
unit will be allocated and a diagnostic message printed.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
If the devices attached to a bus must be probed in a specific order
|
2015-10-28 19:11:06 +00:00
|
|
|
(e.g.,\& for the ISA bus some devices are sensitive to failed probe attempts
|
1999-05-28 09:38:25 +00:00
|
|
|
of unrelated drivers and therefore must be probed first),
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
.Fa order
|
1998-09-03 21:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
argument of
|
2002-12-24 13:41:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn device_add_child_ordered
|
1999-05-28 09:38:25 +00:00
|
|
|
should be used to specify a partial ordering.
|
2001-07-14 19:41:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The new device will be added before any existing device with a greater
|
1999-05-28 09:38:25 +00:00
|
|
|
order.
|
2001-07-14 19:41:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If
|
2002-12-24 13:41:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn device_add_child
|
1999-05-28 09:38:25 +00:00
|
|
|
is used, then the new child will be added as if its order was zero.
|
2004-05-13 20:29:40 +00:00
|
|

|
|
When adding a device in the context of
|
|
|
|
.Xr DEVICE_IDENTIFY 9
|
2005-08-09 11:14:21 +00:00
|
|
|
routine, the
|
2006-01-13 11:24:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr device_find_child 9
|
2005-08-09 11:14:21 +00:00
|
|
|
routine should be used to ensure that the device has not already been
|
|
|
|
added to the tree.
|
2004-05-13 20:29:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Because the device name and

|
|
|
.Vt devclass_t
|
2004-05-13 20:29:40 +00:00
|
|
|
are associated at probe time (not child addition time), previous
|
|
|
|
instances of the driver (say in a module that was later unloaded) may
|
|
|
|
have already added the instance.
|
|
|
|
Authors of bus drivers must likewise be careful when adding children
|
|
|
|
when they are loaded and unloaded to avoid duplication of children
|
|
|
|
devices.

When adding a child to another device node, such as in an identify

2006-09-11 22:17:18 +00:00
|

.Xr BUS_ADD_CHILD 9

|
2015-10-28 19:11:06 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr BUS_ADD_CHILD 9
|
|
|

will call
|
|
|

.Xr device_add_child 9
|
|

and add the proper bus-specific data to the new child.
|

does not call
