Then you can do: dev = of_node_check_flag(np, OF_POPULATED_EARLY) ? of_early_to_platform_device(np) : __of_device_alloc(np, bus_id, parent); if (!dev) goto err_clear_flag; of_device_init(dev, np, bus_id, parent); Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
