While we could've simply registered it as the first thing in the module init path and then hand it around to what needs it. Do that and rip out all the code around it, thus simplifying the whole handling significantly. Move the edac_subsys node back to edac_module.c. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxxx> Presumably caused by the fact that edac_init() is subsys_initcall(), whereas corenet_gen_publish_devices() is arch_initcall(). cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
