From 5ae73518cb39dd81e641dfa7ce20751c853579e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:38:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories. This was because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry. We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory. IOW honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the root directory's model ID (if present). Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID. This had the same issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID only in the root directory. And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the modalias, Specifier_ID and Version. It does not actually make sense to look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are mandatory there. However, a uniform search order simplifies the implementation and has no adverse affect in practice. Side notes: - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory, and for Model_ID only in the unit directory. - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and Model_ID --- the firedtv driver. This one worked because FireDTVs provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in root directory and unit directory. - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID of the modalias.
