It is + * required for automatically configured COMEDI devices and optional for + * COMEDI devices configured by the %COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl, although + * the bus-specific COMEDI functions only work if it is set correctly. + * It is also passed to dma_alloc_coherent() for COMEDI subdevices that + * have their 'async_dma_dir' member set to something other than + * %DMA_NONE. + * @board_name: Pointer to a COMEDI board name or a COMEDI driver name. When + * the low-level driver's "attach" handler is called by the handler for + * the %COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl, it either points to a matched board name + * string if the 'num_names' member of the &struct comedi_driver is + * non-zero, otherwise it points to the low-level driver name string. + * When the low-lever driver's "auto_attach" handler is called for an + * automatically configured COMEDI device, it points to the low-level + * driver name string.

If the 'num_names' member of the &struct + * comedi_driver is non-zero, the handler for the %COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl + * will point it to a pointer to a matched board name string within the + * driver's private array of static, read-only board type information when + * calling the driver's "attach" handler.

The down_write() + * operation is only allowed while @mutex is held and is used when + * changing @attached and @detach_count and calling the low-level driver's + * "detach" handler.

There are two groups of COMEDI devices - + * "legacy" devices that are configured by the handler for the + * %COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl, and automatically configured devices resulting + * from a call to comedi_auto_config() as a result of a bus driver probe in + * a low-level COMEDI driver.
