Subject: sparc64: Fix bootup crash on sun4v.
From: "David S. Miller" <[email protected]>
commit 9e0daff30fd7ecf698e5d20b0fa7f851e427cca5 upstream.
The DS driver registers as a subsys_initcall() but this can be too
early, in particular this risks registering before we've had a chance
to allocate and setup module_kset in kernel/params.c which is
performed also as a subsyts_initcall().
Register DS using device_initcall() insteal.
