Oh come on. How hard have you tried? Have you even looked at the other drivers in the tree to see how they solve this insurmountable problem with a *single* line of code? pdev = of_find_device_by_node(node); That's it. > Further, I tried setting the "suppress_bind_attrs" flag in "struct > platform_driver aplic_driver" just like the > IRQCHIP_PLATFORM_DRIVER_END() macro but this did not work. I'm not sure how relevant this is to the conversation. M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
