parport_register_driver — register a parallel port device driver
int parport_register_driver ( | struct parport_driver * | drv) ; |
This can be called by a parallel port device driver in order to receive notifications about ports being found in the system, as well as ports no longer available.
The drv
structure is allocated by the caller and must not be
deallocated until after calling parport_unregister_driver
.
The driver's attach
function may block. The port that
attach
is given will be valid for the duration of the
callback, but if the driver wants to take a copy of the
pointer it must call parport_get_port
to do so. Calling
parport_register_device
on that port will do this for you.
The driver's detach
function may block. The port that
detach
is given will be valid for the duration of the
callback, but if the driver wants to take a copy of the
pointer it must call parport_get_port
to do so.
Returns 0 on success. Currently it always succeeds.
