Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup dependency chain for cros_ec modules

From: Enrico Granata <[email protected]>

If one builds the Chrome EC support as modules, there is no explicit
dependency chain amongst the several modules (LPC, CHARDEV, CORE, ...)

This makes it possible - for instance - to rmmod cros_ec_core, even though
cros_ec_dev actively uses it for data transport to the EC chip.

This commit makes two changes in an attempt to address this:
a) moves cros_ec_proto.c as part of the CORE module; this removes the
possibility of unloading cros_ec_core while cros_ec_dev is using it;
b) enables cros_ec_core to explicitly register a runtime dependency on
the kernel module that is using its cmd and pkt transfer functions

We try to get cros_ec_proto out of mfd directory, it is weird to
compile something from drivers/platform/chrome/ in drivers/mfd.

You need to modify other transport modules as well:
cros_ec_i2c.c, cros_ec_spi.c.

Another solution would be to make cros_ec a real module. lpc depends
on cros_ec_register, so lsmod will not unload cros_ec [core functions]
if cros_ec_lpc is still loaded.

Why do you have to introduce a new property?

Can't you just use THIS_MODULE in try_module_get()?

I do not think this is needed at all: the transport drivers (i2c, api)
are using cros_ec_register() provided by cros_ec core, which should
bump up refcount on cros_ec core module preventing it from unloading.
And unloading transport driver should unregister EC instance, stopping
IO.

If cros_ec_dev is not prepared to handle "dead" devices - it is issue
for cros_ec_dev to solve. By the way, it is not solvable my
disallowing module unloading: one can always tear down a device by
manually unbinding driver via sysfs.

Thanks.
