The current bus_notifier framework doesn't have the ability to defer the probe, but I may think that this change is acceptable relatively. The fundamental problem is that IOMMU doesn't follow the exact bus model like "chained IOMMU" cases, but this discussion may take long to be solved. I think that "bus_notifier" with send -EPROBE_DEFER would cover most of the normal cases, like normal IOMMU device probe population order. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
