From 57f1e87523bdb6c39659ead7c0f72eea9e520fbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 20:56:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] auxdisplay: move cfag12864bfb's probe function to .devinit.text MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A pointer to cfag12864bfb_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.
