Hi all, this series is our approach to address the EPROBE_DEFER and initcall shifting problem. I skip the deep-probe explanation here and instead refer to the detailed commit message of patch 15. Patche 1-11: - Fixes and cleanups I found during the development of deep-probe Patch 12-14: - Preliminary for the deep-probe mechanism Patch 15: - The interesting part of this series. This patch implements the deep-probe mechanism and adds helpers to make your board deep-probe aware. Patch 16-17: - Adds STM32MP1 and i.MX architecture specific deep-probe code. For those architectures this means that we need to populate the memory-controller. Patch 18: - Convert the sabrelite board to use the deep_probe mechanism. This can be used as example for others :) Comments & testers are welcome :) PS: This series is based on Sascha's commit http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/barebox/2020-September/033979.html. You need to apply this one before applying this series.
