If let stm_probe() implement probe deferral, it has to have a global variable for the later calling of "stm_register_device", because the first parameter of "stm_register_device" is " struct device * " which comes from amba_probe(), after finished amba_probe(), we may not get this structure by other means. This was a similar policy that we both thought was not good :) > > Regards, > -- > Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
