This is because in my own case, I need pwm to be registered before other devices
are probed. The trouble (in my case) is that for drivers/video/pxa.c, I have the
following call path :
- pxafb_probe()
-> pxafb_enable_controller()
-> pxafb_backlight_power()
-> mioa701_lcd_backlight()
=> struct pwm_device *pwm0 = pwm_request("pxa_pwm0");
pwm_enable(pwm0);
pwm_config(pwm0, 2000 * 1024, 4000 * 1024);
I'm a bit afraid that the pxafb driver will be probed first, before pwm_pxa, and
therefore the backlight setting won't work. I haven't found a clean way to
specify this dependency.
Cheers.
