Many spi and i2c drivers use module or subsys_initcall to try and influence driver probe order so that certain regulator chips get registered before the devices that try to use them. This approach is insane. Instead, it is now incumbent on the board support code to ensure that any device that depends on another device (including i2c or spi regulators) will defer registration until the prerequisite devices are bound to drivers. I don't *think* this change will affect anything in this particular patch series, but if it does then let me know and I'll help you work out how to fix it using a bus notifier. g. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
