So as far as I can see we can ignore this for now (at at least be no worse off than we used to be). I didn't check *why* ppdev_init happens before the parport driver has been initialized, I get the feeling that the trivial fix would be to just make a new "parport_init/exit()" pair that just does the parport_bus_init(). And mark that as "subsys_initcall()" so that it gets done before the individual drivers. No need to even be fancy about deferred probing etc, just a simple "ppdev depends on parport" chain. But I didn't look into the actual sequence of events, so it's entirely possible I'm missing something.
