RFC: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1008.0/01342.html
v1: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1008.0/01942.html

Based on the idea and code originally proposed by Kevin Hilman:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap(a)vger.kernel.org/msg31161.html

Changes from v1:

* "Pseduo" buses are no longer init'd, they are [un]registered by:
- pseudo_platform_bus_register(struct bus_type *)
- pseudo_platform_bus_unregister(struct bus_type *)
* These registrations [de]allocate a dev_pm_ops structure for the
pseudo bus_type
* Do not overwrite the parent if .bus is already set (that is, allow
pseudo bus devices to be root devices)

* Split into 2 patches:
- 1/2: Already sent separately, but included here for clarity
- 2/2: The real meat of the patch (this patch)

INTRO

As SOCs become more popular, the desire to quickly define a simple,
but functional, bus type with only a few unique properties becomes
desirable. As they become more complicated, the ability to nest these
simple busses and otherwise orchestrate them to match the actual
topology also becomes desirable.

EXAMPLE USAGE

/arch/ARCH/MY_ARCH/my_bus.c:

#include <linux/device.h>
#include <linux/platform_device.h>

struct bus_type SOC_bus_type = {
.name = "SOC-bus-type",
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(SOC_bus_type);

struct platform_device SOC_bus1 = {
.name = "SOC-bus1",
.id = -1,
.dev.bus = &SOC_bus_type;
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(SOC_bus1);

struct platform_device SOC_bus2 = {
.name = "SOC-bus2",
.id = -2,
.dev.bus = &SOC_bus_type;
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(SOC_bus2);

static int __init SOC_bus_init(void)
{
int error;

error = pseudo_platform_bus_register(&SOC_bus_type);
if (error)
return error;

error = platform_device_register(&SOC_bus1);
if (error)
goto fail_bus1;

error = platform_device_register(&SOC_bus2);
if (error)
goto fail_bus2;

return error;

/* platform_device_unregister(&SOC_bus2); */
fail_bus2:
platform_device_unregister(&SOC_bus1);
fail_bus1:
pseudo_platform_bus_unregister(&SOC_bus_type);

return error;
}

/drivers/my_driver.c:
static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "my-driver",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.bus = &SOC_bus_type,
},
};

/somewhere/my_device.c:
static struct platform_device my_device = {
.name = "my-device",
.id = -1,
.dev.bus = &my_bus_type,
.dev.parent = &SOC_bus1.dev,
};

This will build a device tree that mirrors the actual system:

/sys/bus
|-- SOC-bus-type
| |-- devices
| | |-- SOC_bus1 -> ../../../devices/SOC_bus1
| | |-- SOC_bus2 -> ../../../devices/SOC_bus2
| | |-- my-device -> ../../../devices/SOC_bus1/my-device
| |-- drivers
| | |-- my-driver

/sys/devices
|-- SOC_bus1
| |-- my-device
|-- SOC_bus2

Driver can drive any device on the SOC, which is logical, without
actually being registered on multiple /bus_types/, even though the
devices may be on different /physical buses/ (which are actually
just devices).

THOUGHTS:

1.
Notice that for a device / driver, only 3 lines were added to
switch from the platform bus to the new SOC_bus. This is
especially valuable if we consider supporting a legacy SOCs
and new SOCs where the same driver is used, but may need to
be on either the platform bus or the new SOC_bus. The above
code then becomes:

(possibly in a header)
#ifdef CONFIG_MY_BUS
#define MY_BUS_TYPE &SOC_bus_type
#else
#define MY_BUS_TYPE NULL
#endif

/drivers/my_driver.c
static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "my-driver",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.bus = MY_BUS_TYPE,
},
};

Which will allow the same driver to easily to used on either
the platform bus or the newly defined bus type.

2.
Implementations wishing to make dynamic / run-time decisions on where
devices are placed could easily create wrapper functions, that is

int SOC_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
if (pdev->archdata->flag)
pdev->dev.parent = &SOC_bus1.dev;
else
pdev->dev.parent = &SOC_bus2.dev;

return platform_device_register(pdev);
}

A similar solution also would allow for run-time determination of dev.bus,
if that were necessary for your platform.

3.
I'm not convinced that dynamically allocating a new copy of dev_pm_ops is
the best solution. I *AM*, however, convinced that removing const from
struct bus_type {
...
const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;
...
};
would be a mistake; it is far too easy to overwrite one of the function
pointers on accident, and the const serves a very useful purpose here.
