Subject: [ 18/37] rpmsg: fix dependency on initialization order

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Federico Fuga <fuga@...diofuga.com>

commit 9634252617441991b01dacaf4040866feecaf36f upstream.

When rpmsg drivers are built into the kernel, they must not initialize
before the rpmsg bus does, otherwise they'd trigger a BUG() in
drivers/base/driver.c line 169 (driver_register()).

To fix that, and to stop depending on arbitrary linkage ordering of
those built-in rpmsg drivers, we make the rpmsg bus initialize at
subsys_initcall.
