[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 13/31] most: core: use function subsys_initcall()

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

[ Upstream commit 5e56bc06e18dfc8a66180fa369384b36e2ab621a ]

This patch replaces function module_init() with subsys_initcall().
It is needed to ensure that the core module of the driver is
initialized before a component tries to register with the core. This
leads to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is configured as
in-tree.
