The following patch series refactors the dmi check system and
returns -EPROBE_DEFER when an expected i2c adapter is not present
at probe time.
This will allow the touchpad, touchscreen, and light sensors on
Pixel to load even if the i915 DDC and PANEL buses are instantiated
after chromeos_laptop.
[PATCH 1/2] Platform: x86: chromeos_laptop - Restructure device associations
[PATCH 2/2] Platform: x86: chromeos_laptop - Use deferred probing
From: Aaron Durbin <[email protected]>
The previous code had a single DMI matching entry
for each device on a board. Instead provide a single
DMI entry for each board which references a structure
about each board that lists the associated peripherals.
This allows for a lower number of DMI matching sequences
as well making it easier to add new boards.

1.8.3
Further refactor chromeos_laptop, adding a probe function.
Init will call dmi_check_system, but will only use the match to select
a chromeos_laptop structure of the current board.
Probe will add the devices, and on errors return -EPROBE_DEFER.
If i2c adapters are loaded after chromeos_laptop inits, the deferred
probe will instantiate the peripherals when the bus appears.

Hi,
I have worked on the same problem for the last days and just submitted
my solution proposal for review:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04440.html
One downside with the solution in this set of patches is that more
lines are added to the driver.
By making use of the i2c_driver.detect() mechanism like in my patch,
we can actually reduce the number of lines in the driver.
Looking forward to your comments on my other solution proposal!

Hi Martin,
I commented on your patch, but I want to add a little bit more in response here.

It looks like the vast majority of the savings in number of lines of
code in your patch is from removing the board specific enumeration of
peripherals.
For example, in my patch, I have a data structure that describes the
chromebook pixel thusly :
static struct chromeos_laptop chromebook_pixel = {
.i2c_peripherals = {
/* Touch Screen. */
{ .add = setup_atmel_1664s_ts, I2C_ADAPTER_PANEL },
/* Touchpad. */
{ .add = setup_atmel_224s_tp, I2C_ADAPTER_VGADDC },
/* Light Sensor. */
{ .add = setup_isl29018_als, I2C_ADAPTER_PANEL },
},
};
And so on for every other board that the driver supports. It
explicitly describes the small set of devices that are known to exist
on a particular system, and describes precisely which bus it lives on.
That way, we can use i2c_new_probed_device.
Your patch removes these, and instead, makes one list of all devices
that the driver supports across all systems that pass the dmi check.
Your driver then uses detect in sort of a shotgun approach for all
supported i2c adapters. The approach may work for Pixel, but as I
mentioned in my other email, it causes failed probes on other systems.
It would be my preference to continue to use i2c_new_probed_device,
and explicitly describe each Chromebook system
