(1) It does not make sense, also does not need to, for such device finding operation to modify caller's match data which is mainly used for comparison. (2) It will make the API's match function parameter have the same signature as all other APIs (bus|class|driver)_find_device(). My idea is that: use device_find_child() for READ only accessing caller's match data. use below API if need to Modify caller's data as constify_device_find_child_helper() does. int device_for_each_child(struct device *dev, void *data, int (*fn)(struct device *dev, void *data)); So match_free_decoder() is not proper as device_find_child()'s match function. >> fixed by using >> constify_device_find_child_helper() instead of device_find_child(). > > I don't like the constify... name, I would go with something like > device_find_child_mut() or similar. > What about below alternative option i ever thought about ? Don't introduce API constify_device_find_child_helper() at all, and change in involved driver such as cxl/core/region.c directly. >> >> Signed-off-by: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com> >> --- >> drivers/cxl/core/region.c | 3 ++- >> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/cxl/core/region.c b/drivers/cxl/core/region.c >> index 21ad5f242875..266231d69dff 100644 >> --- a/drivers/cxl/core/region.c >> +++ b/drivers/cxl/core/region.c >> @@ -849,7 +849,8 @@ cxl_region_find_decoder(struct cxl_port *port, >> dev = device_find_child(&port->dev, &cxlr->params, >> match_auto_decoder); >> else >> - dev = device_find_child(&port->dev, &id, match_free_decoder); >> + dev = constify_device_find_child_helper(&port->dev, &id, >> + match_free_decoder); >> if (!dev) >> return NULL; >> /* >> >
