The tca6416 driver makes use of the I2C bus for chatting
with the actual hardware device. Without this patch both
the I2C bus driver and the tca6416 driver are initialized
at the subsys_initcall() level. This may lead to problems
with the tca6416 driver being initialized before the I2C
bus driver.
By using module_init() in the tca6416 driver we make sure
the I2C bus driver always is initialized before the keypad
driver.
With this patch applied the boot order becomes:
- arch_initcall: the ARM architecture ->init_machine()
- arch_initcall: i2c_register_board_info()
- arch_initcall: I2C bus device registration
- subsys_initcall: I2C bus driver probe()
- module_init: tca6416 driver probe()
Affects the following in-tree platforms:
- arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da850-evm.c
- arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-am3517evm.c
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/board-mackerel.c
