Hi Masami, Greg and Rafael,
I have one driver that needs a bunch to software configuration like 1000
settings. These settings can be different according to the use case.
Is it an out-of-tree driver which can not be embedded?
If we use bootconfig API in driver, it can't be built as module. Compilation won't pass.
They are required in boot up phase so we can't reply on user space to
make the configuration.
Boot config is not preferred since we'd like to build that driver as
dynamic load Kernel module.
Could you let me know if there's any mechanism in Kernel to do that?
Hm, it is interesting situation. So I made the bootconfig API and data
released after boot (only keep it in /proc/bootconfig). So I thought
module loader script can parse it and pass params to the modules.
But I did not expected that the number of params is about 1000.
Thank you,
