Hello Uwe,

Thank you for the review and sorry for the late response.

Agreed.

Yes I also had doubts about that. However, apart from this patch there are
three other places in arch/arm/mach-imx/ where dma_declare_coherent_memory()
is called after calling platform_device_register_full().

Perhaps this is enough reason to extend platform_device_register_full().

It would be great to get some more feedback on this and also if there is a
reliable way to check if a device is already added.

Best regards,

Emil Goode
