Subject: [PATCH] fpga: dfl: use subsys_initcall to allow built-in drivers to
be added
The dfl code adds a bus. If it is built-in and there is a built-in driver
as well, the dfl module_init may be called after the driver module_init,
leading to a failure to register the driver as the bus has not been added
yet.
Use subsys_initcall, which guarantees it will be called before the drivers
init code.
Without the fix, we see failures like this:
[ 0.479475] Driver 'intel-m10-bmc' was unable to register with bus_type 'dfl' because the bus was not initialized.
