Linux设备驱动程序

Question

I have problem concerning about my module it it installed/initialized correctly but the other parts of the driver is not installed or showing up in the output.

   static struct i2c_driver qt2120_dev {
       .probe = qt2120_probe,
       .remove = qt2120_remove,
       .owner = {
           .name = qt2120,
           .module = THIS_MODULE, 
       }
       ....           
   }

  static __init qt2120_init(){
       prink("********init******");
       .......
  }
  module_init(qt2120_init)

  static int qt2120_probe(){
       prink("********probe******");
       .......     
  }

  static __devinit qt2120_remove(){
       prink("********probe******");
       .......     
  }    

Only "/ * * init * " appeared in the output. The module has been installed to the i2c according to the output.

  "bus: i2c. qt2120 as qt2120/input" 

Something is wrong with module because the printk's in probe and remove never at all.

I also changed in the MAKEFILE @CONFIG_AT2120 += qt2160.o with qt2120.o as the module

Is there something wrong with my configuration? qt2120.c is very similar to qt2160.c in code aurora.

Answer 1

Probe and remove function is not calling because you have not registered your driver with i2c subsystem. Register your driver using i2c_add_driver() API. In your case,

static int __init qt2120_init(void)
{
    return i2c_add_driver(&qt2120_dev);
}

static void __exit qt2120_remove(void)
{
    return i2c_del_driver(&qt2120_dev);
}

• First you need to make ,I2C driver registering the 'struct i2c_driver' structure with the I2C core using i2c_add_driver(addr_of_struct i2c_driver) .

   static const struct i2c_device_id sample_i2c_id[] = { { "qt2120", 0 }, { } }; static struct i2c_driver qt2120_dev = { .probe = qt2120_probe, .remove = qt2120_remove, .id_table = sample_i2c_id, .driver = { .name = "qt2120", }, .... }; 

  • You need to add .id_table entry . The id_table member allows us to tell the framework which I2C slaves chips we support.

After matching .id_table entry.Driver calls probe function.
