We don't need two-stage init in the component framework. There's patches in-flight to simplify this a lot (and provide callbacks to register additional connector interfaces like backlight). But in general components should not call drm_connector_register, instead the master should call drm_connector_register_all at the very end. Yes this is a change from how all the original kms drivers have done it, but that way was also racy (since it exposed interfaces to userspace before they're fully set up). We're gradually switching each driver over, but for shared bits like tda9998x it's a bit more complicated - all the drivers using it need to switch at the same time. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
