Ah ok, fair enough, I thought it was merged. In any case, after thinking about it, it wouldn't have helped. My concern is if we can avoid changing the TIMER_OF_DECLARE because of the boot order, it would be better. Can returning EPROBE_DEFER fix this issue? Or use the 'complex dependencies' [1]? I'm pretty busy ATM, so I can not investigate now if the suggestions above are fine or just stupid. I will have a look as soon as I can. -- Daniel [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/driver-api/device_link.html -- <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog
