We already have of_graph_get_next_endpoint(), but it is not
intuitive to use in some case.
(X) node {
(Y) ports {
(P0) port@0 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = ...; };};
(P10) port@1 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = ...; };
(P11) endpoint { remote-endpoint = ...; };};
(P2) port@2 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = ...; };};
};
};
For example, if I want to handle port@1's 2 endpoints (= P10, P11),
I want to use like below
P10 = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(port1, NULL);
P11 = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(port1, P10);
But 1st one will be error, because of_graph_get_next_endpoint()
requested 1st parameter is "node" (X) or "ports" (Y), not but "port".
Below works well, but it will get P0
P0 = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(node, NULL);
P0 = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(ports, NULL);
In other words, we can't handle P10/P11 directly via
of_graph_get_next_endpoint().
There is another non intuitive behavior on of_graph_get_next_endpoint().
In case of if I could get P10 pointer for some way, and if I want to
handle port@1 things by loop, I would like use it like below
/*
* "ep" is now P10, and handle port1 things here,
* but we don't know how many endpoints port1 have.
*
* Because "ep" is non NULL now, we can use port1
* as of_graph_get_next_endpoint(port1, xxx)
*/
do {
/* do something for port1 specific things here */
} while (ep = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(port1, ep))
But it also not worked as I expected.
I expect it will be P10 -> P11 -> NULL,
but it will be P10 -> P11 -> P2, because
of_graph_get_next_endpoint() will fetch "endpoint" beyond the "port".
It is not useful for generic driver.
To handle endpoint more intuitive, create of_graph_get_next_port_endpoint()
of_graph_get_next_port_endpoint(port1, NULL); // P10
of_graph_get_next_port_endpoint(port1, P10); // P11
of_graph_get_next_port_endpoint(port1, P11); // NULL

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
