Some PPS generator drivers may need to retrieve a pointer to their
internal data while executing the PPS generator enable() method.
During the driver registration the pps_gen_device pointer is returned
from the framework, and for that reason, there is difficulty in
getting generator driver data back in the enable function. We won't be
able to use container_of macro as it results in static assert, and we
might end up in using static pointer.
To solve the issue and to get back the generator driver data back, we
should not copy the struct pps_gen_source_info within the struct
pps_gen_device during the registration stage, but simply save the
pointer of the driver one. In this manner, driver may get a pointer
to their internal data as shown below:
struct pps_gen_foo_data_s {
...
struct pps_gen_source_info gen_info;
struct pps_gen_device *pps_gen;
...
};
static int __init pps_gen_foo_init(void)
{
struct pps_gen_foo_data_s *foo;
...
foo->pps_gen = pps_gen_register_source(&foo->gen_info);
...
}
Then, in the enable() method, we can retrieve the pointer to the main
struct by using the code below:
static int pps_gen_foo_enable(struct pps_gen_device *pps_gen, bool enable)
{
struct pps_gen_foo_data_s *foo = container_of(pps_gen->info,
struct pps_gen_foo_data_s, gen_info);
...
}
