It looks like when DT is enabled platform_uevent (drivers/base/platform.c:787) only sends out the OF MODALIAS event then returns, not sending out the platform event, is this desired behavior? If so then I will need this table even though I still create the device and match it on platform name as you suggested.That sounds like a bug to me, it'll have broken a bunch of existing devices.
Most OF drivers have the OF MODALIAS. 'platform_uevent' can only emit one MODALIAS string per device (only the last emitted one seems to count), so for any device with 'dev->of_node' set it will be the OF MODALIAS string. So I need that table (to generate the OF MODALIAS) or this sub-device module will not be loaded. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
