[PATCH V2 02/13] dw_dmac: Replace module_init() with subsys_initcall()

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Mar 03 2011 - 05:18:22 EST


In some cases users of dw_dmac are initialized before dw_dmac, and if they try
to use dw_dmac, they simply fail. So its better we register init() routine
of driver using subsys_initcall() instead of module_init(), so that dma driver
is available at the earliest possible.
