Yeah sort of. i915 registers the platform device for the audio, the audio driver can then bind to the device via the platform driver .probe callback. It can then register with the audio component stuff at some point to get the relevant notifications on the display state. When i915 gets unloaded we remove the platform device, at which point the audio driver's platform driver .remove() callback gets invoked and it should unregister/cleanup everything. I just tried to frob around with the VED code a bit, and got it to load at least. It's not quite happy about reloading i915 while the ipvr driver was loaded though. Not sure what's going on there, but I do think this approach should work. So the VED patch could serve as a decent enough model to follow. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
