VirtIO Support

@ -199,20 +220,26 @@ The transport drivers provide a set of ops (struct dm_virtio_ops) for the real
virtio device driver to call. These ops APIs's parameter is designed to remind
the caller to pass the correct 'struct udevice' id of the virtio device, eg:
int virtio_get_status(struct udevice *vdev, u8 *status)
.. code-block:: C
int virtio_get_status(struct udevice *vdev, u8 *status)
So the parameter 'vdev' indicates the device should be the real virtio device.
But we also have an API like:
struct virtqueue *vring_create_virtqueue(unsigned int index, unsigned int num,
unsigned int vring_align,
struct udevice *udev)
.. code-block:: C
struct virtqueue *vring_create_virtqueue(unsigned int index, unsigned int num,
unsigned int vring_align,
struct udevice *udev)
Here the parameter 'udev' indicates the device should be the transport device.
Similar naming is applied in other functions that are even not APIs, eg:
static int virtio_uclass_post_probe(struct udevice *udev)
static int virtio_uclass_child_pre_probe(struct udevice *vdev)
.. code-block:: C
static int virtio_uclass_post_probe(struct udevice *udev)
static int virtio_uclass_child_pre_probe(struct udevice *vdev)
So it's easy to tell which device these functions are operating on.
