[PATCH 02/21] driver core: bus: implement bus_get/put() without the private pointer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Feb 08 2023 - 06:15:10 EST


In the quest to make 'struct bus_type' constant and in read-only memory,
we need to stop using the private pointer to the subsys_private
structure. First step in doing this is to create a helper function that
turns a 'struct bus_type' into 'struct subsys_private' called
bus_to_subsys().

bus_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and
finds the matching one based on the pointer to the bus_type itself. As
this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it
should not be noticable.

Implement bus_get() and bus_put() using this new helper function.
