Another small quibble here, perhaps s/may not have initialized/may not have successfully initialized/?

I'm not keen on the solution as it's esoteric and to me seems fragile. I've looked at discussion on v7 and can see why you ended up with this but I'd have preferred to see the 'violent' approach :) I don't mind if there is consensus on this, but not reviewed by from me for this one. > > > > Signed-off-by: Ben Cheatham <Benjamin.Cheatham@amd.com> > > With above fixups, feel free to add: > > Co-developed-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> > Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

However, since einj has no legacy "auto-load" behavior, I think it is not a lot of code to have einj's module_init() do something like this: einj_dev = platform_device_register_full(&einj_dev_info); platform_driver_register(&einj_driver); Ben, you want to give that a shot? Jonathan is right that my proposed hack is *a* solution but probably not *the* solution where this should end up.

I won't be able to get to it until around the new year since I'm vacation at the moment. I'll also respond take a look at the rest of your review around then. Thanks, Ben

Enjoy your vacation, and thanks for all the work on this. We'll get it sorted, and I think small bit of EINJ modernization will be a nice New Year's gift.
