Phrased > differently, why does the order matter? I am playing with mtdconcat in MTD (Memory Technology Device). For example: mtdconcat must be called after initializing the lower device and partitions. So, the order of calling functions must be decided always. Actuall, the functions in Linux kernel are called in a order. I want to know how to specify these orders. Sorry for short English.
