Subject: [PATCH 07/11] arm: use subsys_initcall in non-modular pl320 IPC code
Date: Sun, 31 May 2015 20:54:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433120052-18281-8-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1433120052-18281-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

The drivers/mailbox/pl320-ipc.o is dependent on config PL320_MBOX
which is declared as a bool.  Hence the code is never going to be
modular.  So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be
somewhat misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.  Also add an inclusion of init.h, as
that was previously implicit.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which
seems to make sense for IPC code) will thus change this
registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly
earlier).  However no impact of that small difference is expected.
