My assertion was incorrect. A probe in the deferral processing can result in the driver being placed on the new deferred list, then when a later probe of another deferred driver succeeds, the first driver will be moved to the active deferred list, and might succeed on the second probe attempt (or with the current messages would result in a second set of deferred messages). So yes, placing "driver_deferred_probe_report = true" where your patch put it and running through the deferred probe processing again is correct. -Frank -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
