2015-10-17 Thread Alexander Holler
This patch adds dependencies provided by the hardware description in the used DT. This avoids the use of the deferred probe mechanism on most (if not all) DT based kernels. Drawback is that the binary DT blob has to be enhanced with type information for phandles (which are used as dependencies) wh
