Hi Greg, could this be added to device.h:
--- 1.112/include/linux/device.h Wed Jan 7 23:58:16 2004 +++ edited/include/linux/device.h Fri Jan 16 17:35:04 2004 @@ -279,6 +279,8 @@ void (*release)(struct device * dev); };
+#define kobj_to_dev(k) container_of((k), struct device, kobj) + static inline struct device * list_to_dev(struct list_head *node) { I'm using it as the following (inspired by find_bus), and it seems like it would make sense to put in device.h.
struct vio_dev *vio_find_device(const char *name) { struct kobject *kobj; kobj = kset_find_obj(&vio_bus_type.devices, name); if (!kobj) return NULL; return to_vio_dev(kobj_to_dev(kobj)); } As a side node, since those #defines don't to type-checking, would it make sense to name them with both types? E.g. "kobj_to_dev" instead of just "to_dev"?
