I wonder if you can't instead of this and your previous patch (ab885d8c7e15)
turn the i2c and gpio drivers to proper platform drivers, e.g.
adding to bottom of via/via_i2c.c:
module_platform_driver(&via_i2c_driver)
instead of viafb_i2c_init() and viafb_i2c_exit().

Shouldn't they then automatically be loaded/unloaded?


I'm sorry that I have no idea how to change an i2c driver to a platform driver.

As for module_platform_driver(), I have checked and it looks like just a helper macro to definite XXX_init() and XXX_exit() instead of automatically load/unload the driver.

module_platform_driver() uses module_driver() which adds module_init() which then
adds code to call the generated xxx_init() functions at startup and exit.

Besides, the XXX_init() and XXX_exit() definited by the
module_platform_driver() can only call
platform_driver_register()/platform_driver_unregister(), perhaps not
suitable for via_driver? (or just need to call
platform_driver_register() after change to platform driver)

platform_driver_register() will be called by the newly generated XXX_init().

Do you have such a viafb card and can try?
