[RFC PATCHv1 1/2] Export SoC info through sysfs

[Jamie Iles]

Hi Maxime,

Thanks for doing this, it looks very nice!  A couple of nitpicks, but 
I've given it a quick spin on my platform and it provides us with all of 
the hooks to export all of the information we need.

Can this be made const?

Isn't this a platform error if we don't have a way to get the required 
info?  If in register_sys_soc_info() we check that one of si->info or 
si->get_info is non-NULL then we don't need this check.  If we have 
something like:

static bool sys_soc_info_is_valid(struct sys_soc_info *info)
{
	if ((!info->info && !info->get_info) ||
	    info->info && info->get_info)
	    return false;

	return true;
}

then we can do this at registration.  Is there a valid use case where 
someone could set the static info and the dynamic get_info callback?

		if (sys_soc_info_is_valid(&info[i]))
			sysdev_class_create_file(...); ?

Make name const?  Also, should num be a size_t?

soc.mach_name = kstrdup(name, GFP_KERNEL) instead of the allocate and 
sprintf?

Could this return a const char* ?

I think this should be "register_sys_soc - register the soc information" 
for valid kerneldoc notation..
