Hi!
There's an issue with the new PCI register interface: a return value of 0
from pci_register_driver() does _not_ indicate failed registration; the
supplied pci_driver struct is linked in the pci_drivers list even if no
matching PCI devices were found. This behaviour makes tons of sense when
thinking of hot pluggable devices. Unfortunately every non-cardbus driver
in 2.3.46 using pci_register_driver() gets it wrong and bails out from its
module_init() routine immediately on a zero return value, leaving a stale
entry in the pci_drivers list -> Oops... Instead, if a driver chooses to
treat a zero return value from pci_register_driver() as an error in its
init routine, it has to unregister the driver first. The patch below
should fix the affected drivers as of kernel version 2.3.46.
Regards,
Daniel.
