mailbox_mach dependency problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

There seems to be a problem with 'mailbox' and 'mailbox_mach' modules.
When another module, like bridgedriver, uses mailbox stuff, only the
'mailbox' module is loaded which doesn't register the platform device.

The easiest solution would be to make mailbox_mach built-in when
mailbox is configured, however, mailbox_mach needs mailbox to be
loaded.

I tried to add a poke() function in mailbox_mach so that the module is
loaded when mailbox is loaded, but apparently linux doesn't like loop
dependencies:
WARNING: Loop detected: kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap2/mailbox_mach.ko
needs mailbox.ko which needs mailbox_mach.ko again!

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
