[PATCH v2 14/22] pwm: Probe PWM chip devices on demand

From: Tomeu Vizoso
Date: Tue Jul 28 2015 - 09:23:42 EST


When looking up a PWM chip through its firmware node, probe it if it
hasn't already.

The goal is to reduce deferred probes to a minimum, as it makes it very
cumbersome to find out why a device failed to probe, and can introduce
very big delays in when a critical device is probed.
