If builtin_platform_driver_probe() doesn't work with fw_devlink, then
shouldn't it be fixed or removed?
I was actually thinking about this too. The problem with fixing
builtin_platform_driver_probe() to behave like
builtin_platform_driver() is that these probe functions could be
marked with __init. But there are also only 20 instances of
builtin_platform_driver_probe() in the kernel:
$ git grep ^builtin_platform_driver_probe | wc -l
20
So it might be easier to just fix them to not use
builtin_platform_driver_probe().
Michael,
Any chance you'd be willing to help me by converting all these to
builtin_platform_driver() and delete builtin_platform_driver_probe()?
If it just moving the probe function to the _driver struct and
remove the __init annotations. I could look into that.
