.Dt DEVICE_IDENTIFY 9
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm DEVICE_IDENTIFY
|
|
.Nd identify a device, register it
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/bus.h
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn DEVICE_IDENTIFY "driver_t *driver" "device_t parent"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The identify function for a device is only needed for devices on busses
|
|
that cannot identify their children independently, e.g.\& the ISA bus.
|
|
It is used to recognize the device (usually done by accessing non-ambiguous
|
|
registers in the hardware) and to tell the kernel about it and thus
|
|
creating a new device instance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr BUS_ADD_CHILD 9
|
|
is used to register the device as a child of the bus.
|
|
The device's resources (such as IRQ and I/O ports) are registered
|
|
with the kernel by calling
|
|
.Fn bus_set_resource
|
|
for each resource (refer to
|
|
.Xr bus_set_resource 9
|
|
for more information).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since the device tree and the device driver tree are disjoint, the
|
|
.Fn DEVICE_IDENTIFY
|
|
routine needs to take this into account.
|
|
If you load and unload your device driver that has the identify
|
|
routine, the child node has the potential for adding the same node
|
|
multiple times unless specific measure are taken to preclude that
|
|
possibility.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following pseudo-code shows an example of a function that
|
|
probes for a piece of hardware and registers it and its resource
|
|
(an I/O port) with the kernel.
|
|

foo_identify(driver_t *driver, device_t parent)
|
|
{
|
|
device_t child;
|
|
|
|
retrieve_device_information;
|
|
if (devices matches one of your supported devices &&
|
|
not already in device tree) {
|
|
child = BUS_ADD_CHILD(parent, 0, "foo", -1);
|
|
bus_set_resource(child, SYS_RES_IOPORT, 0, FOO_IOADDR, 1);
|
|
}
