Original patch posted at: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1194346 Enhancements done to above patch: - checkpatch warning fixes - added Kconfig symbol CONFIG_PROBE_DEFER - replacing normal workqueue with singlethread_workqueue - handling -EPROBE_DEFER error Apart from that, OMAP HSMMC and GPIO drivers are adopted to use deferral probe mechanism and successfully tested on omap3 beagle board. Applies cleanly on top of v3.1-rc8 G, Manjunath Kondaiah (3): drivercore: add new error value for deferred probe gpiolib: handle deferral probe error omap: hsmmc: use platform_driver_register Grant Likely (1): drivercore: Add driver probe deferral mechanism Mark Brown (1): regulator: Support driver probe deferral drivers/base/Kconfig | 11 +++ drivers/base/base.h | 3 + drivers/base/core.c | 6 ++ drivers/base/dd.c | 145 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c | 6 +- drivers/mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.c | 7 +- drivers/regulator/core.c | 4 +- include/linux/device.h | 7 ++ include/linux/errno.h | 1 + 9 files changed, 183 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- Cc: linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-mmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dilan Lee <dilee@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Manjunath GKondaiah <manjunath.gkondaiah@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> 1.7.4.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
