device_find_child(9)

device_find_child9

Device iterator for locating a particular device.

Usage

struct device * device_find_child(struct device * parent, void * data, int (*match) (struct device *dev, void *data));

Arguments

parent

parent struct device

data

Data to pass to match function

match

Callback function to check device

Overview

This is similar to the device_for_each_child function above, but it returns a reference to a device that is 'found' for later use, as determined by the match callback.

The callback should return 0 if the device doesn't match and non-zero if it does. If the callback returns non-zero and a reference to the current device can be obtained, this function will return to the caller and not iterate over any more devices.

Note

you will need to drop the reference with put_device after use.
