1 struct platform_device {
 2     const char    * name;
 3     int        id;
 4     struct device    dev;
 5     u32        num_resources;
 6     struct resource    * resource;
 7 
 8     const struct platform_device_id    *id_entry;
 9 
10     /* arch specific additions */
11     struct pdev_archdata    archdata;
12 };

当中的resource是platform驱动用到的资源，它是定义在<include/linux/ioport.h>中：

1 struct resource {
2     resource_size_t start;
3     resource_size_t end;
4     const char *name;
5     unsigned long flags;
6     struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
7 };

platform_driver定义在<linux/platform_device.h>中：

1 struct platform_driver {
2     int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
3     int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
4     void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
5     int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
6     int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
7     struct device_driver driver;
8     const struct platform_device_id *id_table;
9 };
系统中为platform总线定义了一个实例platform_bus_type，在<linux/platform_device.h>进行了声明：
extern struct bus_type platform_bus_type;
定义在drivers/base/platform.c中：
1 struct bus_type platform_bus_type = {
2     .name        = "platform",
3     .dev_attrs    = platform_dev_attrs,
4     .match        = platform_match,
5     .uevent        = platform_uevent,
6     .pm        = &platform_dev_pm_ops,
7 };
8 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus_type);
二、详细实现
1、platform_match函数的实现（定义在drivers/base/platform.c中）：
 1 static const struct platform_device_id *platform_match_id(
 2             const struct platform_device_id *id,
 3             struct platform_device *pdev)
 4 {
 5     while (id->name[0]) {
 6         if (strcmp(pdev->name, id->name) == 0) {
 7             pdev->id_entry = id;
 8             return id;
 9         }
10         id++;
11     }
12     return NULL;
13 }
14 
15 /**
16  * platform_match - bind platform device to platform driver.
17  * @dev: device.
18  * @drv: driver.
19  *
20  * Platform device IDs are assumed to be encoded like this:
21  * "<name><instance>", where <name> is a short description of the type of
22  * device, like "pci" or "floppy", and <instance> is the enumerated
23  * instance of the device, like ‘0‘ or ‘42‘.  Driver IDs are simply
24  * "<name>".  So, extract the <name> from the platform_device structure,
25  * and compare it against the name of the driver. Return whether they match
26  * or not.
27  */
28 static int platform_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
29 {
30     struct platform_device *pdev = to_platform_device(dev);
31     struct platform_driver *pdrv = to_platform_driver(drv);
32 
33     /* Attempt an OF style match first */
34     if (of_driver_match_device(dev, drv))
35         return 1;
36 
37     /* Then try to match against the id table */
38     if (pdrv->id_table)
39         return platform_match_id(pdrv->id_table, pdev) != NULL;
40 
41     /* fall-back to driver name match */
42     return (strcmp(pdev->name, drv->name) == 0);
43 }
是通过device的name和driver的name进行匹配的。

2、platform_device的定义和注冊

（platform_add_devices定义在drivers/base/platform.c中） 
1 /**
 2  * platform_add_devices - add a numbers of platform devices
 3  * @devs: array of platform devices to add
 4  * @num: number of platform devices in array
 5  */
 6 int platform_add_devices(struct platform_device **devs, int num)
 7 {
 8     int i, ret = 0;
 9 
10     for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
11         ret = platform_device_register(devs[i]);
12         if (ret) {
13             while (--i >= 0)
14                 platform_device_unregister(devs[i]);
15             break;
16         }
17     }
18 
19     return ret;
20 }
21 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_add_devices);
对于一个指定的板子来说，比方对于ldd6410的globalfifo驱动来说，要在mach-ldd6410.c中定义platform_device globalfifo_device,并将globalfifo_device放入ldd6410_devices数组中，代码例如以下所看到的。
3、platform_driver的操作

    platform_driver的定义和注冊在对应驱动文件里实现，以下是《linux驱动开发具体解释》一书中globalfifo的样例的部分代码：

4、platform设备资源和数据

（1）、resource的定义（<linux/ioport.h>）

1 struct resource {

2     resource_size_t start;
3     resource_size_t end;
4     const char *name;
5     unsigned long flags;
6     struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
7 };

当flags是IORESOURCE_MEM时，start和end各自是资源的起始地址和结束地址；

当flags是IORESOURCE_IRQ时，start和end各自是资源的起始中断号和结束中断号；

#define IORESOURCE_TYPE_BITS    0x00001f00    /* Resource type */
#define IORESOURCE_IO         0x00000100
#define IORESOURCE_MEM        0x00000200
#define IORESOURCE_IRQ        0x00000400
#define IORESOURCE_DMA        0x00000800
#define IORESOURCE_BUS        0x00001000
对于同种类型的资源能够有两份或多份。

（2）、获得资源

对resource的定义通常在板文件里，而驱动通过platform_get_resource获得资源（driver/base/platform.c）：

 1 /**
 2  * platform_get_resource - get a resource for a device
 3  * @dev: platform device
 4  * @type: resource type
 5  * @num: resource index
 6  */
 7 struct resource *platform_get_resource(struct platform_device *dev,
 8                        unsigned int type, unsigned int num)
 9 {
10     int i;
11 
12     for (i = 0; i < dev->num_resources; i++) {
13         struct resource *r = &dev->resource[i];
14 
15         if (type == resource_type(r) && num-- == 0)
16             return r;
17     }
18     return NULL;
19 }
20 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_get_resource);

三、platform驱动的一个样例
以linux-2.6.38内核的dm9000驱动为例说明平台驱动的定义和资源获取。
1、platform_device和resource的定义（mach-mini6410.c）
 1 /* DM9000AEP 10/100 ethernet controller */
 2 /*dm9000的资源*/
 3 static struct resource mini6410_dm9k_resource[] = {
 4     [0] = {
 5         .start    = S3C64XX_PA_XM0CSN1,
 6         .end    = S3C64XX_PA_XM0CSN1 + 1,
 7         .flags    = IORESOURCE_MEM
 8     },
 9     [1] = {
10         .start    = S3C64XX_PA_XM0CSN1 + 4,
11         .end    = S3C64XX_PA_XM0CSN1 + 5,
12         .flags    = IORESOURCE_MEM
13     },
14     [2] = {
15         .start    = S3C_EINT(7),
16         .end    = S3C_EINT(7),
17         .flags    = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL
18     }
19 };
20 /*dm9000_plat_data定义在<linux/dm9000.h>*/
21 static struct dm9000_plat_data mini6410_dm9k_pdata =http://www.mamicode.com/ {
22     .flags        = (DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY | DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM),
23 };
24 
25 static struct platform_device mini6410_device_eth = {
26     .name        = "dm9000",
27     .id        = -1,
28     .num_resources    = ARRAY_SIZE(mini6410_dm9k_resource),
29     .resource    = mini6410_dm9k_resource,
30     .dev        = {
31         .platform_data    = http://www.mamicode.com/&mini6410_dm9k_pdata,
32     },
33 };
34 
35 /*全部的设备存放在这个数组里，最后通过platform_add_devices进行注冊*/
36 static struct platform_device *mini6410_devices[] __initdata =http://www.mamicode.com/ {
37     &mini6410_device_eth,
38     &s3c_device_hsmmc0,
39     &s3c_device_hsmmc1,
40     &s3c_device_ohci,
41     &s3c_device_nand,
42     &s3c_device_fb,
43     &mini6410_lcd_powerdev,
44     &s3c_device_adc,
45     &s3c_device_ts,
46 };
2、platform_driver的定义和注冊（dm9000.c）
 1 static struct platform_driver dm9000_driver = {
 2     .driver    = {
 3         .name    = "dm9000",
 4         .owner     = THIS_MODULE,
 5         .pm     = &dm9000_drv_pm_ops,
 6     },
 7     .probe   = dm9000_probe,
 8     .remove  = __devexit_p(dm9000_drv_remove),
 9 };
10 
11 static int __init
12 dm9000_init(void)
13 {
14     printk(KERN_INFO "%s Ethernet Driver, V%s\n", CARDNAME, DRV_VERSION);
15 
16     return platform_driver_register(&dm9000_driver);
17 }
18 
19 static void __exit
20 dm9000_cleanup(void)
21 {
22     platform_driver_unregister(&dm9000_driver);
23 }
dm9000驱动获得定义在板文件里的platform_data的方法：
struct platform_device *pdev
struct  dm9000_plat_data *pdata = http://www.mamicode.com/pdev->dev.platform_data;
db->addr_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
db->data_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 1);
db->irq_res  = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);

platform_get_resource函数定义在drivers/base/platform.c中：
 1 /**
 2  * platform_get_resource - get a resource for a device
 3  * @dev: platform device
 4  * @type: resource type
 5  * @num: resource index
 6  */
 7 struct resource *platform_get_resource(struct platform_device *dev,
 8                        unsigned int type, unsigned int num)
 9 {
10     int i;
11 
12     for (i = 0; i < dev->num_resources; i++) {
13         struct resource *r = &dev->resource[i];
14 
15         if (type == resource_type(r) && num-- == 0)
16             return r;
17     }
18     return NULL;
19 }
20 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_get_resource);
