3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Drake [ Upstream commit 93dbc1b3b506e16c1f6d5b5dcfe756a85cb1dc58 ] Being a low-level component, various drivers (e.g. olpc-battery) assume that it is ok to communicate with the OLPC Embedded Controller during probe. Therefore the OLPC EC driver must be initialised before other drivers try to use it. This was the case until it was recently moved out of arch/x86 and restructured around commits ac2504151f5a ("Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver") and 85f90cf6ca56 ("x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86"). Use arch_initcall so that olpc-ec is readied earlier, matching the previous behaviour. Fixes a regression introduced in Linux-3.6 where various drivers such as olpc-battery and olpc-xo1-sci failed to load due to an inability to communicate with the EC. The user-visible effect was a lack of battery monitoring, missing ebook/lid switch input devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake Cc: Andres Salomon Cc: Paul Fox Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c b/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c index 0f9f859..f911952 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c +++ b/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c @@ -330,7 +330,7 @@ static int __init olpc_ec_init_module(void) return platform_driver_register(&olpc_ec_plat_driver); } -module_init(olpc_ec_init_module); +arch_initcall(olpc_ec_init_module); MODULE_AUTHOR("Andres Salomon "); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
