I missed your patch when I did a search initially. Does it also change the annotation of tps65910_sleepinit() to __devinit ? If all devices are supposed to have their init functions annotated __devinit is the comment in correct in init.h which says the __dev* annotations are used for HOTPLUG? Is this power management chip hotpluggable?
