Subject: arm64: Platform devices populated from a device_initcall
Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 17:20:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <519112E7.3040309@synopsys.com> (raw)
Hi all,
In the arm64 kernel, function arm64_device_probe
(arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c) is in charge of populating the platform
devices defined by the device tree.
Does anyone know why arm64_device_probe is a device_initcall?
This seems to be in conflict with some I2C drivers: see
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-platdrv.c for example.
The driver calls platform_driver_probe from a subsys_initcall.
The probe fails because subsys_initcalls are executed before
device_initcalls.
Maybe arm64_device_probe could be an arch_initcall?
Thanks,
