What's the return value after calling below: udc->phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(&pdev->dev, "nvidia,phy", 0);It returns -EPROBE_DEFER when phy_tegra_usb isn't loaded.How are other driver modules autoloaded? Isn't there an appropriate MODALIAS or MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE in there?Hello Michał, The phy_tegra_usb module is fine by itself, it's getting autoloaded. The problem is that ci_hdrc_tegra module depends on the phy_tegra_usb module and thus the PHY module should be loaded before the CI module, otherwise CI driver fails with the EPROBE_DEFER.Why, then, is CI driver not being probed again after PHY driver loads? EPROBE_DEFER is what should cause driver core to re-probe a device after other devices appear (PHY in this case).
CI driver is getting re-probed just fine if PHY's driver module is loaded manually after loading the CI's module. This patch removes this necessity to manually load PHY's module. This is just a minor convenience change that brings the CI's driver loading behaviour on par with the behaviour of loading Tegra's EHCI driver module.
