If yes it may help to take a look on clocksource drivers which use early_platform_device/driver sh_cmt.c sh_mtu2.c sh_tmu.c The primary interrupt controller is initialized very early init_IRQ->irqchip_init->of_irq_init() (IRQCHIP_DECLARE) and, at least as i can see from st_xxx code, the same case is valid for clocksource devices and it was solved using early_platform_device/drive staff. -- regards, -grygorii
