[RFC 0/3] Introduce of_probe_platform_driver()

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Thu Dec 16 2010 - 12:14:30 EST


First, I noted a section mismatch in the mpc52xx_psc_spi-driver which tried to
have its probe in __init. Then, I noted that the mpc512x_psc_spi-driver was in
the __devinit-section, not in __init. I finally saw that there is no
of-equivalent to platform_driver_probe() and tried to implement one.

This is the outcome which seems to work on a MPC5121-board. I have my
spi-device and the sysfs does not show bind/unbind-files.

I can't yet tell why, but the approach looks a bit clumsy. Probably there is
some condition I have missed so far. It should work as a first RFC, however.
Release early, right? :)

All the best,

Wolfram
