Ick, something else is going wrong here, how could you ever have the same device probed more than once? > > > Signed-off-by: Jia Hongtao > > > Signed-off-by: Li Yang > > > --- > > > > Where's v1 and v2 history? > > > > > drivers/of/platform.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ > > > 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/of/platform.c b/drivers/of/platform.c > > > index a37330e..3aab01f 100644 > > > --- a/drivers/of/platform.c > > > +++ b/drivers/of/platform.c > > > @@ -139,6 +139,18 @@ struct platform_device *of_device_alloc(struct > > device_node *np, > > > if (!dev) > > > return NULL; > > > > > > + dev->dev.of_node = of_node_get(np); > > > + if (bus_id) > > > + dev_set_name(&dev->dev, "%s", bus_id); > > > + else > > > + of_device_make_bus_id(&dev->dev); > > > + > > > + if (kset_find_obj(dev->dev.kobj.kset, kobject_name(&dev->dev.kobj))) Whatever you are trying to do here, odds are, it's wrong :) What is happening that is causing the problem? What is causing the platform core to be calling probe on a device more than once? greg k-h
