I tackled the same problem by fixing another problem we had in the core. Patch 2 [1] and 3 [2] of this set [3] get rid of the problem related to the auto_boot check without having to deal with module counters. Please see if that covers the use case you are dealing with. Thanks, Mathieu [1]. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/patch/[email protected]/ [2]. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/patch/[email protected]/ [3]. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/list/?series=391789 > } else { > dev_err(&rproc->dev, "Unrecognised option: %s\n", buf); > ret = -EINVAL; > -- > 2.28.0 >
