I grepped for "boot_constraint" and it shows up nowhere in the current kernel. Also, this article was written Feb 16, 2018, and I can see that the patch series was still being submitted (V7) as of Feb 23, 2018. And, while I'm not totally sure it would help me, when I did look at their example code, they were calling dev_boot_constraint_add_deferrable_of in subsys_initcall.... which is what I was changing this driver to init from anyway. And, by the time you get to subsys_initcall in the boot process, my issue has already occurred so their fix wouldn't help me anyway. Chris
