I think it's fine to do init_pcmcia_bus early to make sure that the PCMCIA bus interface is there by the time the driver init stuff happens, but I really don't see the point of that firmware load to be there. And all that MATCH_FAKE_CIS stuff is about the _devices_, not the PCMCIA bus, so that whole thing looks pretty silly. It should be done by the device registration (which is obviously device_initcall), not by some bus layer. Hopefully Dominik can fix whatever up (if it even needs it) Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
