.Nm device_add_child ,
|
|
.Nm device_add_child_ordered
|
|
.Nd "add a new device as a child of an existing device"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/bus.h>
|
|
.Ft device_t
|
|
.Fn device_add_child "device_t dev" "const char *name" "int unit"
|
|
.Ft device_t
|
|
.Fn device_add_child_ordered "device_t dev" "int order" "const char *name" "int unit"
|
|
.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 .
|
|
If the unit is unknown then the caller should pass
|
|
.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
|
|
appropriate for the device. If a name is specified then only drivers
|
|
of that name are probed. If no name is given then all drivers for the
|
|
owning bus are probed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This allows busses which can uniquely identify device instances (such
|
|
as PCI) to allow each driver to check each device instance for a
|
|
match. For busses which rely on supplied probe hints where only one
|
|
driver can have a change of probing the device, the driver name should
|
|
specified as the device name.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally unit numbers will be chosen automatically by the system and a
|
|
unit number of
|
|
.Dv -1
|
|
should be given.
|
|
When a specific unit number is desired (e.g. for wiring a particular
|
|
piece of hardware to a pre-configured unit number), that unit should
|
|
be passed. If the specified unit number is already allocated, a new
|
|
unit will be allocated and a diagnostic message printed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the devices attached to a bus must be probed in a specific order
|
|
(e.g. for the ISA bus some devices are sensitive to failed probe attempts
|
|
of unrelated drivers and therefore must be probed first),
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa order
|
|
argument of
|
|
.Xr device_add_child_ordered 9
|
|
should be used to specify a partial ordering.
|
|
The new device will be added before any existing device with a greater
|
|
order.
|
|
If
|
|
.Xr device_add_child 9
|
|
is used, then the new child will be added as if its order was zero.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The new device if successful, NULL otherwise.
