Sorry about missing this earlier, I hope the popcorn is not stale. I think a reset that needs to be released before a fixed device appears on the bus, should be handled by the bus driver. The reset framework could be made to help with that, but I don't think a separate entity that scans the whole device tree itself is the right solution. regards Philipp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
