Hi

   while testing an omap3 board with device tree support I stumbled upon a
bug which is due to wrong initialization order of twl-core and
twl-regulator (I suppose): In the boot process they get loaded way too
late so that a lot of drivers before where configured wrong or just
refuse to load.

For example the real time clock driver: The RTC kicks in way before
twl_probe() and due to that it configures its register map wrong
(at this time twl_priv->twl_id isn't configured yet).

Another example is the omap display subsystem. It (DSS) fails loading
while trying to register some not yet existent regulators and because it
lacks EPROBE_DEFER.

USB and MMC is also not working and I'm suspicious of the same cause.

Any ideas?
Hi Christoph,

It happens, because I2C probes execution  have been deferred due to
"pinctrl-single" driver (, which is not ready at i2c bus initialization
time:

I think following change should fix it, could you try it, pls:

Hi Grygorii,
  thanks - indeed it does fix the problem. I checked at least the rtc
which is now configured right and working :-)

Do you consider the patch above as a hack or will it go mainline?
I think, need more opinions on this from community )
I'm just trying to solve my problem and found similar issue.

  Thanks
