spi_board_info and module automatic load

[Daniel Hilst Selli]

I register a spi_board_info on my board-*.c file as this

http://pastebin.com/nUGuvt71


Then create my module named mydevice.ko

Is this enought to get the module loaded automatically or I'm missing 
something?

Cheers

I'm guessing something is missing, otherwise you wouldn't be asking us,
right?

No MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() line?

spi_board_info and module automatic load

We have to follow the following steps
1.
static struct spi_board_info your_board_info[] __initdata = {
{
.modalias = "driver_name",
.....
}
2. Register your board with: spi_register_board_info()
3. you have to add device to the device table with
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(spi, your_device_id).


your device id name should be the modalise name that you are providing
in spi_board_info().

These steps may help you.
