SYNOPSIS

9       struct spi_driver {
10         const struct spi_device_id * id_table;
11         int (* probe) (struct spi_device *spi);
12         int (* remove) (struct spi_device *spi);
13         void (* shutdown) (struct spi_device *spi);
14         int (* suspend) (struct spi_device *spi, pm_message_t mesg);
15         int (* resume) (struct spi_device *spi);
16         struct device_driver driver;
17       };

MEMBERS

20       id_table
21           List of SPI devices supported by this driver
22
23       probe
24           Binds this driver to the spi device. Drivers can verify that the
25           device is actually present, and may need to configure
26           characteristics (such as bits_per_word) which weren't needed for
27           the initial configuration done during system setup.
28
29       remove
30           Unbinds this driver from the spi device
31
32       shutdown
33           Standard shutdown callback used during system state transitions
34           such as powerdown/halt and kexec
35
36       suspend
37           Standard suspend callback used during system state transitions
38
39       resume
40           Standard resume callback used during system state transitions
41
42       driver
43           SPI device drivers should initialize the name and owner field of
44           this structure.

DESCRIPTION

47       This represents the kind of device driver that uses SPI messages to
48       interact with the hardware at the other end of a SPI link. It's called
49       a “protocol” driver because it works through messages rather than
50       talking directly to SPI hardware (which is what the underlying SPI
51       controller driver does to pass those messages). These protocols are
52       defined in the specification for the device(s) supported by the driver.
53
54       As a rule, those device protocols represent the lowest level interface
55       supported by a driver, and it will support upper level interfaces too.
56       Examples of such upper levels include frameworks like MTD, networking,
57       MMC, RTC, filesystem character device nodes, and hardware monitoring.
