I asked Bjorn privately about the need for these to be built in, and he clarified: > However, Rob Herring introduced a nice feature last year that means that > if you request a power-domain from a driver that has not yet probed at > late_initcall that request will fail instead of returning EPROBE_DEFER. > So compiling these as modules will, based on kernel module load order, > cause intermittent failures to probe the consumer drivers. So that's what "the driver core prohibits probe deferral past late initcall" means, and better explains the issue that requires some of these to be built-in rather than be built as kernel modules. I was able to test with and without this applied, and I find that without the patch the modem won't boot, and it boots successfully when used.
