Subject: [patch 2/3] ipmi: Setup ipmi_devintf automatically if ipmi_msghandler gets loaded
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 13:09:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141023111307.521124558@ett.arch.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141023110924.936986783@ett.arch.suse.de>
[-- Attachment #1: ipmi_load_all --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6103 bytes --]
This removes the ipmi_devintf to be a module, but it will automatically
be compiled into ipmi_msghandler module if IPMI_HANDLER is set.
This will allow userspace IPMI support via autoloading.
There already was a kind of autoloading mechanism (gets deleted
with this patch):
-MODULE_ALIAS("platform:ipmi_si");
But:
- It's wrong: There are other low lever drivers which can be used by
ipmi_devintf
- It does not work
- There is no need to keep ipmi_devintf as a module (resource and load time
overhead)
