SubjectRe: [PATCH] i2c: exynos5: register driver early in subsys initcall to avoid probe defer
Hi Marek,

Yes, I heard of it, too.

Then they need to be worked on. AFAIK the rejection is based on
implementation details, not because the feature itself is not wanted,
or?

Yes, because the above issue needs to be *fixed*, not workarounded. You
still have the option to carry your patch out-of-tree if fixing the
issue is not an option for you.

We already had problems here when someone tried to revert
subsys_initcall to module_init because of other dependency issues on
another particular board. So, the pain should really go where the fixing
is needed.

I hope you understand,
