The times this has happened to me, it has always been a problem with the "name" between the platform device and the platform driver. To avoid those problems, I usually use a #define for the name. That way, I'm sure that a spelling problem (which can be _really_ hard to spot) is not the problem. Also, I usually don't care about setting the .id and the .num_resources variables. Otherwise, as far as I can tell, your code should work. BRs, /Jocke! -- If it can't be fixed with duct-tape, it's definitely borken... _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
