I was confused, because no such commit exists.

But it turns out you have the right commit ID in your subject line,
and you just dropped the initial '1' .

Anyway, that commit does look odd - why is the daisy_drv_init() done
by parport_bus_init() rather than just as a regular module init? And
as a result, now when daisy_drv_init() blocks, that blocks
parport_bus_init(). I dunno. It seems to not really have a good reason
for it.

I think it should just be reverted unless Sudip can come up with a
trivial fix. Greg?
