But the SSI driver is an OF driver, and it gets probed for every SSI node in the device tree. On the 8610, that means being probed twice. But I should only call platform_device_register_simple() once. Are you saying that I should call platform_device_register_simple() from the SSI's driver initialization function, fsl_ssi_init()? > Then you've got a > reasonable place to pass shared data (either the ssi device node or > device instance or name. Whatever you need) to the machine driver. The problem is that the fabric driver needs much more information from the device tree than the SSI driver needs. So if the SSI driver is going to pass that information to the fabric driver via the platform data, it's going to have to know what information the fabric driver needs. Then the SSI driver is not board-independent. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
