I think Rob is talking about something like this:
compatible="qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.0", "qcom,hidma-mgmt"
This specifies that this is the v1.0 of the HIDMA management engine (or, the management engine for the 1.0 HIDMA device). That way, if in the future there's a v1.1, you can do this:
compatible="qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.1", "qcom,hidma-mgmt"
The driver will probe only on ""qcom,hidma-mgmt", but in the probe function, it can query the version number and act accordingly.
Alternatively, the driver can probe on both:
static const struct of_device_id hidma_match[] = { { .compatible = "qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.0", &v10_struct}, { .compatible = "qcom,hidma-mgmt-1.1", &v11_struct}, {}, }; MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, hidma_match);
And then the probe function will automatically get a pointer to either v10_struct or v11_struct. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project.
