It sounds reasonable, but does current implementation support deferring?

yes, it uses deferred probe see devm_phy_get() and devm_clk_get() calls in .probe and how the returned values are checked.

Struct  spear13xx_pcie_driver just dissapears from memory after init.

IMO this is expected because spear13xx_pcie_driver is annotated as __initdata.

The proper solution was pointed by Kumar below, but we also need to remove the __init from dw_pcie_host_init() which is called from driver .probe.

because the former allows us to use probe function placed into __init
section
and the driver itself is not support hotplugging (yet?).

Changes from v1:
   - Use platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register to
make linker happy.ven after it is used

The problem here is that the driver is never registered. And we might
never
see it in sysfs. Probably a better solution would be to just remove all
__init
parts from this driver. Let it take space even after it is used. And
don't care
about it.

Sorry was busy in a conference and couldn't reply to your earlier mail on
this.


Using platform_driver_probe() prevents deferred probe which is problem
because you get phy, clocks from probe, and these calls could return
EPROBE_DEFFER.

Also dw_pcie_host_init() called from spear13xx_add_pcie_port() is
annotated as __init. I wanted send a patch which removes __init from
dw_pcie_host_init() but I haven't time, yet.

regards,
Stan
