From 47dec7c6c48a12bdacdf5f935f10f44e66d9c98c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:26:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [WATCHDOG] at91rm9200_wdt.c: move probe function to .devinit.text MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A pointer to at91wdt_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.
