Subject: [PATCH 2/4] driver: core: platform: add subsys_platform_driver() macro
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 13:47:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-subsys_initcall-v1-2-cbccf4cd4288@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-subsys_initcall-v1-0-cbccf4cd4288@redhat.com>
Add a new macro subsys_platform_driver() to eliminate some boilerplate
code in drivers that need to register earlier in the boot at the
subsys_initcall level.
Signed-off-by: Brian Masney <bmasney@redhat.com>
