We could restructure the toplevel driver so that it does not call platform_device inside its probe function. An alternative would be to add a pointer to a vector of subdevices to platform_device and have it register the subdevices after it has probed the toplevel device. Do you have any recommendations?



Use the -mm kernel, this should be allowed in that release, due to a
rework of the driver core logic in this area. Can you test this out and
verify this?



Sounds good. I will test it out.
