If it was called that (or maybe *_init) initially I may have missed the issue altogether ... However, I still think it the SCU IPC *device* needs to be a device driver and abide by the rules, ensuring it uses the device driver model/API. As such, it should be registered and probed as a device. If you require something from it you should call into it (perhaps using a register function like above), but that should be done *after* the device has been bound and probed. > + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, pmc); > + > + ret = intel_pmc_create_devices(pmc); > + if (ret) > + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to create PMC devices\n"); > + > + return ret; > +} -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Linaro Services Technical Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
