Subject: [patch 2.6.28-rc7] regulator: init/link earlier
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2008 21:50:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812012150.13909.david-b@pacbell.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081201225312.GA6699@sirena.org.uk>
From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
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.

It's not clear "how early" to be; this works.
