From 2be975c6d920de989ff5e4bc09ffe87e59d94662 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2012 12:16:12 -0700 Subject: Input: introduce managed input devices (add devres support) There is a demand from driver's writers to use managed devices framework for their drivers. Unfortunately up to this moment input devices did not provide support for managed devices and that lead to mixing two styles of resource management which usually introduced more bugs, such as manually unregistering input device but relying in devres to free interrupt handler which (unless device is properly shut off) can cause ISR to reference already freed memory. This change introduces devm_input_allocate_device() that will allocate managed instance of input device so that driver writers who prefer using devm_* framework do not have to mix 2 styles.
