I don't know why the sep driver was built, but even so, the sep_init
function does this:
static struct sep_device *sep_dev;
.
.
static int __init sep_init(void)
{
.
.
sep = sep_dev;
init_waitqueue_head(&sep->event);
init_waitqueue_head(&sep->event_request_daemon);
spin_lock_init(&sep->snd_rply_lck);
mutex_init(&sep->sep_mutex);
mutex_init(&sep->ioctl_mutex);
And sep_dev is not allocated until probe time ... and it never gets
probed on my system, of course.
