[PATCH 4/9] drm/msm: Avoid manually populating our children if "simple-bus" is there

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If our compatible string has "simple-bus" at the end of it then the
system will handle probing our children for us.  Doing this has a few
advantages:

1. If we defer we don't have to keep probing / removing our children
   which should speed up boot.  The system just probes them once.

2. It fixes a problem where we could get into a big loop where we'd
   have:
   - msm_pdev_probe() is called.
   - msm_pdev_probe() registers drivers.  Registering drivers kicks
     off processing of probe deferrals.
   - component_master_add_with_match() could return -EPROBE_DEFER.
     making msm_pdev_probe() return -EPROBE_DEFER.
   - When msm_pdev_probe() returned the processing of probe deferrals
     happens.
   - Loop back to the start.
