Subject: Initialization order
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:28:19 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48BDAFF3.2090803@mlbassoc.com> (raw)
I'm working with a couple FreeScale platforms and having
trouble getting the RTC which is connected via I2C to work.
I had this working fine in the old arch/ppc tree, but it's
failing in the arch/powerpc world.
Here's the problem - the RTC driver gets initialized *before*
the I2C bus and as far as I can tell, the RTC 'probe' function
never gets executed. I've peppered the device/bus/driver init
code with some extra prints to see the flow:
*** ds1307_init.548
*** i2c_register_driver.662
*** i2c_register_driver.674
*** i2c_register_driver.682
*** driver_register.228 (rtc-ds1307) - called from c01963cc
*** bus_add_driver.657 - bus: 'i2c', driver: 'rtc-ds1307'
*** i2c_register_driver.689
i2c /dev entries driver
*** i2c_register_driver.662
*** i2c_register_driver.674
*** i2c_register_driver.682
*** driver_register.228 (dev_driver) - called from c01963cc
*** bus_add_driver.657 - bus: 'i2c', driver: 'dev_driver'
*** i2c_register_driver.689
*** platform_driver_register.456 (fsl-i2c) - called from c02bbc54
*** driver_register.228 (fsl-i2c) - called from c0162f88
*** bus_add_driver.657 - bus: 'platform', driver: 'fsl-i2c'
*** fsl_i2c_probe.361
*** fsl_i2c_probe.361
There is a similar print in the 'ds1307_probe()' function,
but as you can see, it's never called :-(
Can someone explain what drives the order of these init functions?
I can see that it's based on the __XXXinit sections, but I don't
see why the RTC functions happen before the FSL-I2C ones. From
my system map:
c02bb738 t rtc_hctosys
c02bb87c t rtc_init
c02bb918 T rtc_dev_init
c02bb97c T rtc_sysfs_init
c02bb98c t ds1307_init
c02bb9d0 T i2c_register_board_info
c02bbaf4 t i2c_init
c02bbb80 t i2c_dev_init
c02bbc3c t fsl_i2c_init
Any ideas how I can affect this ordering? or should it matter
and there's something else going on?
Thanks for any pointers
