Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] driver core: Move the "removable" attribute from USB to core

Move the "removable" attribute from USB to core in order to allow it to be
supported by other subsystem / buses. Individual buses that want to support
this attribute can opt-in by setting the supports_removable flag, and then
populating the removable property of the device while enumerating it. The
UAPI (location, symantics etc) for the attribute remains unchanged.

v3: - Minor commit log / comments updated.
- use sysfs_emit()
- Rename local variable name (state -> loc)
- change supports_removable flag from bool to bitfield.
v2: Add documentation

+Description:
+ Information about whether a given device is physically fixed to
+ the platform. This is determined by the device's subsystem in a
+ bus / platform-specific way. This attribute is only present for
+ buses that can support determining such information:
+
+ "removable": The device is external / removable from the system.
+ "fixed": The device is internal / fixed to the system.
+ "unknown": The information is unavailable.
+
+ Currently this is only supported by USB (which infers the
+ information from a combination of hub descriptor bits and
+ platform-specific data such as ACPI).

USB. Presently, both the usb_device_type and usb_if_device_type sit on
the usb_bus_type but "removable" only applies to usb_device_type (the
attribute shows up only under usb_devices and not under
usb_interfaces).

Thus, I put the supports_removable flag in device_type instead of bus_type.

Again, shouldn't this be a bus type, and not a device type?

Where are you going to have devices of different types on a bus that do,
or do not, allow this attribute?

Ah. Messy.

Then should this be a per-device value and don't worry about the type at
all? You have a field in the device already, why not make it:

enum device_removable {
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED = 0, /* must be 0 */
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN,
DEVICE_REMOVABLE,
DEVICE_FIXED,
};

And then only show the file if a device does NOT have the value set to
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED?

If a bus/subsystem/whatever wants the device to have a sysfs file and
value there, then it needs to set it to anything other than 0 and it
will be created?

That gets you out of the device bus/type mess and it is localized to
only the device itself, allowing for any device to do this? Should make
the logic everywhere a bit simpler as well.

Sorry, I forgot to respond to this comment earlier today.

There is no /sys/bus/devices/ so I guess you had really meant
"/sys/bus/.../devices/.../removable". Given the latest suggestion on
the patch, where each device shall be free to show / hide this
attribute, I think the current /sys/devices/.../removable looks
correct. Please let me know if you'd still like to change this to
something else, and I'd be happy to change.

Thanks,

Rajat
