Well, there are two "DMA" drivers.
The one in drivers/dma binds on fsl,eloplus-dma, and then manually scans
for children with the "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel" compatible. This driver
works today because the fsl,eloplus-dma nodes are children of the SOC
node, which is already probed.
The other is in sound/soc/fsl and binds on "fsl,ssi-dma-channel". These
are also children of the fsl,eloplus-dma node. This driver does NOT work
today, because the fsl,eloplus-dma is not probed.
I do not want the two drivers to depend on each other. They are
completely separate. So I don't want to call of_platform_populate() from
the drivers/dma driver. I could call it from the sound/soc/fsl driver,
however. I will try to see if that works.
They only problem I see with this is that I am thinking about modifying
the drivers/dma driver to probe on "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel" channels
directly. If I do that, then who should call of_platform_populate()?
