ok. I see you have also commented this. Anyway this is kind of old discussion about moving serial drivers to arch_initcall from module_init. There is one patch in the tree. commit 4dd9e742df98f8f600b4302d3adbb087a68237f7 Author: Alessandro Rubini <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Tue May 5 05:54:13 2009 +0100 Commit: Russell King <[email protected]> CommitDate: Sun May 31 14:58:11 2009 +0100 [ARM] 5505/1: serial amba-pl011: move to arch_initcall for earlier console Signed-off-by: Alessandro Rubini <[email protected]>" Signed-off-by: Russell King <[email protected]> and then there was one patch (also sent to linux-serial but don't have link) https://patches.linaro.org/patch/14633/ where that discussion wasn't finished. There is one more patch which does that without real description for this change. commit ce87122911f8db59d3c2bc355c694c7a38940804 Author: Vladimir Murzin <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Tue Jun 7 16:02:37 2016 +0100 Commit: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> CommitDate: Sat Jun 25 14:01:57 2016 -0700 serial: mps2-uart: make driver explicitly non-modular Most of drivers are using module_init and only some of them arch_initcall. Thanks, Michal
