     staging: visorchipset driver to provide registration and other services
I think Sasha has already sent a fix to resolve this issue that I'll be
sending to Linus in a day or so.

Ken, is Sasha's patch going to resolve this issue as well?  It looks
like people haven't tested what happens when the module is loaded
without the hardware present in the system :(
You are exactly right. The driver needs to check for hardware early on before trying to use it. Unfortunately, Sasha's patch will not resolve this one. I'll work with Ben Romer to get a patch out ASAP.

Thanks,
Ken Cox
