| |
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?
