Subject: [PATCH 13/15] PCI/ACPI: Convert "pci_slot" sub-driver's functionality to built-in only
Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2012 23:26:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121207062611.11051.39999.stgit@amt.stowe> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121207062454.11051.12739.stgit@amt.stowe>
The "ACPI PCI Slot Detection ("pci_slot")" sub-driver may be compiled as a
module. Kernel modules are instantiated somewhat randomly - the order in
which they are linked as the kernel as built - thus if there are any
dependencies on the ordering of attaching sub-drivers, they can not be
effectively dealt with.
This patch series resolves any potential sequencing inter-dependencies by
converting "pci_slot" sub-driver's functionality to being only supported
as statically built-in to the kernel. Inter-dependencies can then be
effectively handled by explicitly sequencing the addition of such
functionality.
