linux-toradex.git/drivers/vme/Kconfig, branch v5.0 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules vme: Convert VME core to register as a subsystem 2013-12-18T01:06:19+00:00 Aaron Sierra asierra@xes-inc.com 2013-12-09T15:54:42+00:00 c326cc023e40ef741751a084b72796947bd37a66 Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result in a kernel panic. The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled. This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall() macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using
module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers
were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register
itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result
in a kernel panic.

The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which
drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled.

This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall()
macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers
regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging 2012-04-26T19:34:58+00:00 Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org 2012-04-26T19:34:58+00:00 db3b9e990e75573402cda22faf933760f076c033 This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/. The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
