See above. Are you going to go throw and assign a static order to ever
device
driver now just in case the one's registration routine might someday
depend
on another?
Yes, and it doesn't sound so unreasonable.
It sounds silly to me. The only ordering requirement for registering drivers
is that they should be registered before their parent bus is probed. This is
simply accomplished by registering *all* drivers in one phase and then
probing the device tree in a subsequent phase. Adding any extra ordering to
this is pointless.
If two drivers have dependancies that requires them to be registered in a
specific order, then my first reaction would be that they are doing
something very wrong indeed. The only thing which changes if two drivers are
registered in one order or another is the order that they will be offered
devices during the probe. Drivers that depend on probe ordering with respect
to other drivers are usually broken.
