Hi! I'm trying to attach a simpel-panel to an atmel,sama5d3-hlcdc controller. See below for the parts of my .dts that I find relevant. When I boot with this, I run into a problem. What I think happens is that the hlcdc probe fails because the panel probe fails because the backlight probe fails because the pwm probe fails because the hlcdc probe hasn't completed yet. I.e. a circular dependency. I get this in log (twice, with some other stuff in between): atmel-hlcdc-display-controller atmel-hlcdc-dc: failed to create HLCDC outputs: -517 atmel-hlcdc-display-controller atmel-hlcdc-dc: failed to initialize mode setting -517 is of course -EPROBE_DEFER If I comment out the problematic backlight line from the panel node (and fiddle with the devices that control the backlight manually in sysfs) I can get things to work. But that's not very elegant. Would it be possible to have the hlcdc code somehow "publish" the hlcdc-pwm before it tries to fire up the output panel? Assuming my analysis is correct, of course...
