Subject: [PATCH 1/8] cpuidle: Remove governor module format
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:08:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371042535-22630-1-git-send-email-daniel.lezcano@linaro.org> (raw)

The governors are defined as module in the code, but the Kconfig options do not
allow to compile them as module. This is not really a problem but the init
order is: the cpuidle init functions (framework and driver) and then the
governors. That leads to some weirdness in the cpuidle framework because the
function cpuidle_register_device calls cpuidle_enable_device which in turns
fails at the first attempt because no governor is registered. When the
governor is registered, the framework calls cpuidle_enable_device again which
will invoke the __cpuidle_register_device function. Of course, in order to make
this to work, the return code of cpuidle_enable_device is not checked by the
caller in cpuidle_register_device.

Instead of having this cyclic call graph and relying on a positive side effect
of the hackish back and forth call to cpuidle_enable_device, let's fix the
init order for the governor in order to clean up the cpuidle_enable_device
function.

Remove the module init code and replaced it with postcore_initcall, so we have:

 * cpuidle framework : core_initcall
 * cpuidle governors : postcore_initcall
 * cpuidle drivers   : device_initcall

Remove exit module code as it is dead code (governors aren't compiled as
module).
