PHY_CONNECT(9)						      Network device support						    PHY_CONNECT(9)

NAME
phy_connect - connect an ethernet device to a PHY device SYNOPSIS
struct phy_device * phy_connect(struct net_device * dev, const char * bus_id, void (*handler) (struct net_device *), u32 flags, phy_interface_t interface); ARGUMENTS
dev the network device to connect bus_id the id string of the PHY device to connect handler callback function for state change notifications flags PHY device's dev_flags interface PHY device's interface DESCRIPTION
Convenience function for connecting ethernet devices to PHY devices. The default behavior is for the PHY infrastructure to handle everything, and only notify the connected driver when the link status changes. If you don't want, or can't use the provided functionality, you may choose to call only the subset of functions which provide the desired functionality. COPYRIGHT

struct_input_handler - implements one of interfaces for input devices SYNOPSIS
struct input_handler { void * private; void (* event) (struct input_handle *handle, unsigned int type, unsigned int code, int value); void (* events) (struct input_handle *handle,const struct input_value *vals, unsigned int count); bool (* filter) (struct input_handle *handle, unsigned int type, unsigned int code, int value); bool (* match) (struct input_handler *handler, struct input_dev *dev); int (* connect) (struct input_handler *handler, struct input_dev *dev, const struct input_device_id *id); void (* disconnect) (struct input_handle *handle); void (* start) (struct input_handle *handle); bool legacy_minors; int minor; const char * name; const struct input_device_id * id_table; struct list_head h_list; struct list_head node; }; MEMBERS
private driver-specific data event event handler. This method is being called by input core with interrupts disabled and dev->event_lock spinlock held and so it may not sleep events event sequence handler. This method is being called by input core with interrupts disabled and dev->event_lock spinlock held and so it may not sleep filter similar to event; separates normal event handlers from "filters". match called after comparing device's id with handler's id_table to perform fine-grained matching between device and handler connect called when attaching a handler to an input device disconnect disconnects a handler from input device start starts handler for given handle. This function is called by input core right after connect method and also when a process that "grabbed" a device releases it legacy_minors set to true by drivers using legacy minor ranges minor beginning of range of 32 legacy minors for devices this driver can provide name name of the handler, to be shown in /proc/bus/input/handlers id_table pointer to a table of input_device_ids this driver can handle h_list list of input handles associated with the handler node for placing the driver onto input_handler_list DESCRIPTION
Input handlers attach to input devices and create input handles. There are likely several handlers attached to any given input device at the same time. All of them will get their copy of input event generated by the device. The very same structure is used to implement input filters. Input core allows filters to run first and will not pass event to regular handlers if any of the filters indicate that the event should be filtered (by returning true from their filter method). Note that input core serializes calls to connect and disconnect methods. COPYRIGHT
