Seriously, I think this is the best solution. As there are USB drivers for just about every kernel driver subsystem, it should remain one of the last things to be initialized. Putting your USB driver in the drivers/usb/ directory ensures that your subsystem will be up and running before the usb driver is loaded. > > > If nobody sees a problem with this change, I can come up with the > > > (trivial) patch. > > > > I'd be interested in seeing the patch. > > Appended, "bk send" patch attached. So how does this differ from still relying on the link order? It doesn't look like this will solve your problem. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
