Subject: [v3.11][v3.12][v3.13][Regression]  EISA: Initialize device before
 its resources

Hi Bjorn,

A kernel bug was opened against Ubuntu [0].  After a kernel bisect, it
was found the following commit introduced this bug:

commit 26abfeed4341872364386c6a52b9acef8c81a81a
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>
Date: Mon Apr 15 14:34:02 2013 -0600

    EISA: Initialize device before its resources

The regression was introduced as of v3.10-rc1.

Reverting this commit has resolved the bug.  I wanted to get your
feedback, since you are the patch author.  Should we consider reverting
this commit in mainline and the stable trees?

Thanks,

Joe
