[PATCH 2/4] ACPI: use device drivers_autoprobe to delay loading acpi drivers

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Wed Oct 03 2012 - 19:00:31 EST


Current acpi driver for pci_root is working like this way for hotplug:

acpi try to enumberate acpi device and create acpi_device for pci_root
and loading driver for it, and that drivers .add aka acpi_pci_root_add
calls pci_acpi_scan_root to enumerate pci devices but not add those pci
devices into device tree to prevent drivers for pci devices get probed.

Later .start aka acpi_pci_root_start will call pci_bus_add_devices to
add pci devices into the tree to make drivers for pci devices get
attached or probed.

The reason for that .add must get back for pci_root, so could create acpi_device
for other pci_devices. otherwise adding the pci device tree early than
acpi_device will cause binding for acpi/pci failing becuse pci_device can not
find acpi_dev that is not created yet.

booting path is working becasue driver for acpi driver is registered later,
that means all acpi_device get created at first, and later when acpi_driver
get registered, and .add get called, that probe pci devices, when pci devices
is found, it could find acpi_device and binding will be ok, even
pci_add_bus_devices in done in acpi_pci_root_add.

That .start design is broken, and it will leave pci devices out of device tree
for a while.

We could use device drivers_autoprobe and acpi_bus_type notifier to control
the process to make sure for hot adding path, will have all acpi_device get
created, then attach acpi driver for acpi_device for pci_root.
That will make the path more like booting path.

After that we could remove the workaround .start in acpi driver ops.
