[PATCH 1/9] platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in arch/arm

From: Uwe Kleine-KÃnig
Date: Thu Feb 04 2010 - 14:58:09 EST


A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.
