Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 5/9] dt: deps: register drivers based on the
initialization order based on DT

Correct, we've got a module system. Some would say that is a strength!
:-) That said, I don't object to optimizing to the optimal order when
possible.

Why does the initcall level matter? Why not just let the initcalls
happen, capture the calls that register a driver, and then use that list
later?

How will that list be constructed? How will it account for multiple
platforms, each requiring a different init order?
