Hello, as already mentioned, I've implemented the stuff to initialize drivers in parallel. What follows are two patches to be used on top of my already posted series (for 4.2) which implements annotated initcalls and DT based dependencies. But be warned: many drivers which are in the same initcall level still depend on the link order given by the Makefile and directoy (-name) and therefor will fail. That means without moving them to other initcall levels or explicit dependencies (which are a TODO) for these drivers, the whole stuff currently works only for some configurations and you likely will need to add several patches for your board. I've already posted two patches to move two drivers into another initcall level. While playing with the stuff, I've found several more drivers which are suffering under the same problem and need the same modification: block/noop-iosched.c crypto/hmac.c cryoto/sha_generic.c drivers/mtd/ofpart.c drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c To offer an impression how this patch series might work in action, below is the relevant part from the kernel log for a configuration I'm using successfully on an imx6q. Maybe someone has interest in that stuff. Regards, Alexander Holler ----------- (...)
