V4L/DVB (11561a): move media after i2c

2009-04-29T18:41:13Z

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Acked-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

ide/net: flip the order of SATA and network init

2009-03-28T20:06:16Z

this patch flips the order in which sata and network drivers are initialized. SATA probing takes quite a bit of time, and with the asynchronous infrastructure other drivers that run after it can execute in parallel. Network drivers do tend to take some real time talking to the hardware, so running these later is a good thing (the sata probe then runs concurrent) This saves about 15% of my kernels boot time. Both Dave and Jeff acked this patch and suggested it should go via the async tree. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Acked-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Jeff Garzik

regulator: init/link earlier

2009-01-08T20:10:32Z

Move regulator earlier in link sequence. The regulator core currently initializes as a core_initcall() to be available early ... but then it links way late, throwing away that benefit, so regulators available at e.g. subsys_initcall() are not available to subsystems which need to use them.

USB: move isp1301_omap to drivers/usb/otg

2009-01-07T18:00:02Z

This moves the isp1301-omap driver from the drivers/i2c/chips directory (which will be shrinking) into a new drivers/usb/otg directory (which will grow, with more drivers and utilities). Note that OTG infrastructure needs to be initialized before either host or peripheral side USB support, and may be needed before for pure host or pure peripheral configurations.

create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/

2008-12-19T09:42:32Z

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/ to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/. The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years. The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi. They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually implement the ACPI specification, but either simply use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions. In the future we anticipate... drivers/misc/ will go away. other architectures will create drivers/platform/ Signed-off-by: Len Brown
