Subject: [PATCH 00/13] Discover and probe dependencies
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:42:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434548543-22949-1-git-send-email-tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> (raw)

Hi,

this is another attempt at preventing deferred probe from obscuring why your
devices aren't probing and from delaying to the end of the boot process the
probe of the device you care the most.

The major differences with my previous approach [0] are:

* Dependencies are probed before the target is probed, so we don't have nested
  probe() calls, avoiding a series of deadlock situations.

* Dependencies could be stored and reused for other purposes such as for
  passing resources to drivers ala devm_probe, or for warning when a device is
  going to be unbound and has dependencies active, etc.

* I have tried to keep it firmware-agnostic. The previous approach (on-demand
  probing) could be done like this as well, but would require adding fwnode
  APIs to all affected subsystems first.

I have only implemented the class.get_dependencies() callback for the GPIO
subsystem and for the host1x bus because that's all that was needed on my Tegra
Chromebook to avoid deferred probes, but if this approach is deemed worthwhile
I will add more implementations so that deferred probes are avoided on the
other boards I have access to.

Thanks,

Tomeu
