    Subjectpci: add to global list before sysfs?
    Hi Greg,

    I have a PCI hotplug problem I was hoping you could provide some
    insight into.

    I want the PCI layer to make sure that all subfunctions of a newly
    added card are visible via pci_get_device() before any of them are
    binded to drivers. I.e. I want pci_bus_add_devices() to first make a
    pass and add the devices to the global list, then a second pass for
    device_add().

    The reason I want this is because I have at least two chips where I
    need to know which other subfunctions are present on the card in order
    to correctly initalise the subfunction I'm currently probing. Right now
    that fails miserably as the driver does not see the other devices in
    its probe function.

    Is it possible to do this or will things break left and right if I
    add them to the global list before I register them with the driver core?

    Rgds
