1.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only 2 3========================= 4Driver-specific callbacks 5========================= 6 7The ``pldmfw`` module relies on the device driver for implementing device 8specific behavior using the following operations. 9 10``.match_record`` 11----------------- 12 13The ``.match_record`` operation is used to determine whether a given PLDM 14record matches the device being updated. This requires comparing the record 15descriptors in the record with information from the device. Many record 16descriptors are defined by the PLDM standard, but it is also allowed for 17devices to implement their own descriptors. 18 19The ``.match_record`` operation should return true if a given record matches 20the device. 21 22``.send_package_data`` 23---------------------- 24 25The ``.send_package_data`` operation is used to send the device-specific 26package data in a record to the device firmware. If the matching record 27provides package data, ``pldmfw`` will call the ``.send_package_data`` 28function with a pointer to the package data and with the package data 29length. The device driver should send this data to firmware. 30 31``.send_component_table`` 32------------------------- 33 34The ``.send_component_table`` operation is used to forward component 35information to the device. It is called once for each applicable component, 36that is, for each component indicated by the matching record. The 37device driver should send the component information to the device firmware, 38and wait for a response. The provided transfer flag indicates whether this 39is the first, last, or a middle component, and is expected to be forwarded 40to firmware as part of the component table information. The driver should an 41error in the case when the firmware indicates that the component cannot be 42updated, or return zero if the component can be updated. 43 44``.flash_component`` 45-------------------- 46 47The ``.flash_component`` operation is used to inform the device driver to 48flash a given component. The driver must perform any steps necessary to send 49the component data to the device. 50 51``.finalize_update`` 52-------------------- 53 54The ``.finalize_update`` operation is used by the ``pldmfw`` library in 55order to allow the device driver to perform any remaining device specific 56logic needed to finish the update.
