The obvious questions here based on the name are why we're doing something specific to platform devices and why this isn't something we're abstracting in the driver core (or at least generic firmware code) - we're going to have the same thing with ACPI.
I don't know how useful this is going to be in systems with ACPI. My experience is limited to 32bit ARM, where the kernel has to manage every regulator, clock, gpio, etc so the dependency tree is so big. Is deferred probing a problem with ACPI as well?
Yes, x86 based embedded systems use ACPI (and we really ought to be trying to help systems using board files too for that matter). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
