From 72f8c0bfa0de64c68ee59f40eb9b2683bffffbb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfram Sang Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:16:47 +0200 Subject: lib: devres: add convenience function to remap a resource Almost every platform_driver does the three steps get_resource, request_mem_region, ioremap. This does not only lead to a lot of code duplication, but also a huge number of similar error strings and inconsistent error codes on failure. So, introduce a helper function which simplifies remapping a resource and make it hard to do something wrong and add documentation for it.
