Therefore the OLPC EC driver must be initialised before other drivers try to use it. This was the case until it was recently moved out of arch/x86 and restructured around commits ac2504151f5a ("Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver") and 85f90cf6ca56 ("x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86"). Use arch_initcall so that olpc-ec is readied earlier, matching the previous behaviour. Fixes a regression introduced in Linux-3.6 where various drivers such as olpc-battery and olpc-xo1-sci failed to load due to an inability to communicate with the EC. The user-visible effect was a lack of battery monitoring, missing ebook/lid switch input devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake Cc: Andres Salomon Cc: Paul Fox Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c b/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c index 0f9f859..f911952 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c +++ b/drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c @@ -330,7 +330,7 @@ static int __init olpc_ec_init_module(void) return platform_driver_register(&olpc_ec_plat_driver); } -module_init(olpc_ec_init_module); +arch_initcall(olpc_ec_init_module); MODULE_AUTHOR("Andres Salomon "); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
