[RFC][PATCH 02/10] bcma: Make it possible to run bcma_register_cores() later

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On embedded device we can not allocate memory with kalloc or sleep for
some time, when bcma is initialized, because this is done early in the
boot process. This patch makes it possible to do the
bcma_register_cores() sometime later and not directly after searching
for the cores. The initialization of the PCI(e) core is also done later
as it uses udelay(), which will not work so early. The buses are placed
into a list and bcma_register_cores() will be run when the bcma module
is initialized. When using bcma on a PCI-Bus in a normal PC
bcma_register_cores() is triggered directly after bcma_bus_register().
This patch is based on ssb code.
