This patch refactors the intel8x0 and intel8x0m driver codes using devres and gets rid of the driver remove callback. The conversion is fairly straightforward: each API call is replaced with the device-managed API function, e.g. pci_enable_device() -> pcim_enable_device(), and so on. The buffer descriptor list is allocated with a new API, snd_devm_alloc_pages(). A slight code structure change is that the intel8x0 object is allocated as a card's private_data instead of the own lowlevel snd_device object. This simplifies the resource management. And, the take-down procedure is triggered via card->private_free, and it's registered at the end of the whole initialization, i.e. after the all resources get properly managed. The only not-devres-managed resource is the irq handler. Since we need to release at suspend and re-acquire at resume (otherwise something weird happens on some machines), this is still managed manually. But the rest are all freed automatically. The end result is a good amount of code reduction. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210715075941.23332-6-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
