[RFC V3 PATCH] coresight: change tmc from misc device to cdev device

Jay Chen jkchen at linux.alibaba.com
Tue Dec 21 04:04:37 PST 2021


Currently, there are 130 etr and etf on our machine,
but the current coresight tmc driver uses misc_register
to register the device, which leads to the error that
the device number is not enough.

coresight-tmc: probe of xxxxx failed with error -16

This patch changes the device registration method
to cdev's dynamic registration method to solve the
problem of insufficient device numbers.
