SubjectRe: [PATCH 00/13] Discover and probe dependencies

It's easy to describe: Sort driver probe calls and forget about the
whole device-stuff.

The real target is to sort the driver probe calls and ideally the whole
device stuff could be ignored, leaving it as however it may work.

Unfortunately, that's not as easy to implement as it sounds. ;)

I've too hit the device-stuff very late in my driver-probe-ordering
experiment and just did it somehow, because I already was at the limit
of the time I wanted to spend. ;)

So to repeat myself, I think the first target has to be to identify
drivers either without having to call their initcalls at all, or by
making sure their initcalls just register and do nothing else (what I've
called "well-done").

Regards,

Alexander Holler
