I'm looking into that. I suspect that we'll need to work with the initialization order after the new i2c binding model to avoid such troubles. I remember that we had a similar issue with alsa and saa7134. At the end, Linus [1] had to do add this, as a quick hack (unfortunately, it is still there - it seems that alsa guys forgot about that issue): late_initcall(saa7134_alsa_init); On that time, he suggested the usage of subsys_initcall() for alsa. I suspect that we'll need to do the same for I2C and for V4L core. I'm not sure what would be the alternative to be done with i2c ancillary drivers. Maybe one alternative would be to use fs_initcall, that seems to be already used by some non-fs related calls, like cpu governor [2].
