It violates one of the most fundamental principles of kernel driver programming. You do _NOT_ publish your driver interfaces _UNTIL_ you have finished setting your device up. Otherwise, in a preemptible or SMP kernel, your driver can be used before the initialization has completed. As this driver calls sdhci_pltfm_register() before it has obtained the clock for the interface, and this function does: sdhci_pltfm_init sdhci_add_host mmc_add_host mmc_start_host mmc_power_up mmc_set_ios sdhci_set_ios See, we're trying to power up and clock the card _before_ the dove sdhci driver has even claimed the clock let alone enabled it. This is total bollocks. The sdhci platform interface is total crap for creating this broken design in the first place. This is why MMC has the init + add interfaces, they're there to allow drivers to do stuff the Right(tm) way and avoid shit like the above. This should have been picked up at review time before the driver went into mainline. In any case, it needs to be fixed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

1. Unregister the device _BEFORE_ taking away any resources it may be using. 2. Don't check clks against NULL.
