Order of Loading mmc driver modules.
Hi All, I am working with pxamci driver(2.6.22.1). I have made , core and host as separate modules. what is the correct order of loading the modules i am doing in this order first core (mmc_core.ko), then card(mmc_block.ko) after that host driver ( pxamci.ko). Is this correct. I do not know much about Linux device model. i saw that pxamci.ko driver registers it self as platform_driver. When does its probe function is called. Is it called immediately after platform_driver_register(_driver) is called. also in card driver (mmc_block.ko) in block.c file i saw a probe function(mmc_blk_probe). How does it is invoked . Thanks in advance for your help. -- Thanks raki -- 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/
