Re: early_initcall replacement

[dejo <riamae@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your reply, sir. I found out that there's already a
plat_mem_setup defined in vr41xx/common/init.c that's why I cannot
rename the function invoked by early_initcall to plat_mem_setup.

Actually,
when I examined it further, I found out that using arch_initcall works
just fine except that the add_memory_region is not called before
everything else. It causes error because there's no memory region
allotted. 

I did this:
/*arch/mips/vr41xx/common/init

.c */
void __init plat_mem_setup(void)
{
    vr41xx_calculate_clock_frequency();

    timer_init();
    iomem_resource_init();
            add_memory_region(0, 0x04000000, BOOT_MEM_RAM);
}

and it worked! But it's not good practice isn't it? I might ruin the other vr41xx boards. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

What you need to change is

o remove the early_initcall() line.
o rename the function invoked by early_initcall to plat_mem_setup and
   change its prototype to: "void __init plat_mem_setup(void)".
