We could restructure the toplevel driver so that it does not call
platform_device inside its probe function. An alternative would be to
add a pointer to a vector of subdevices to platform_device and have it
register the subdevices after it has probed the toplevel device. Do you
have any recommendations?
Use the -mm kernel, this should be allowed in that release, due to a
rework of the driver core logic in this area. Can you test this out and
verify this?
I tested 2.6.12-mm1 yesterday and verified that it allows recursive
calls to platform_device.
