Subject: [PATCH 3.12 17/19] misc: atmel_pwm: add deferred-probing support
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:37:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131118183649.095026402@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131118183644.030738675@linuxfoundation.org>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com>
commit 5c6d6fd1564138ad048564e48639f842714a90c6 upstream.
Two drivers (atmel-pwm-bl and leds-atmel-pwm) currently depend on the
atmel_pwm driver to have bound to any pwm-device before their devices
are probed.
Support deferred probing of such devices by making sure to return
-EPROBE_DEFER from pwm_channel_alloc when no pwm-device has yet been
bound.
