It's completely unrelated to FDT, it's a general issue. There's no sane way to use hacks like link ordering to resolve boot time dependencies - start getting things like regulators connected to I2C or SPI controllers which may also use GPIOs for some signals and may be parents for other regulators and mapping out the dependency graph becomes unreasonably complicated. Deferred probing is designed to solve this problem by working things out dynamically at runtime. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
