Couldn't we use the probe defer mechanism here ? (until complete rework is done)

How could we re-probe after a register_switch_driver ?

Hi Neil

I was thinking the same last night. We know the switch should be
there, otherwise it would not be in DT. So returning -EPROBE_DEFER
would be valid.

Hi,

It makes sens but does a module insertion triggers the differed probe ?

I will still post this change in a next set of patch.

That's a good question, I am not convinced this is the case. Even with
the EPROBE_DEFER returned if the list of drivers is empty, you would
still very likely run into the following circular dependency, if you
make everything built as a module:

- dsa provides register_switch_driver and unregister_switch_driver
- switch drivers in drivers/net/dsa/* depend on these two symbols, so
until these symbols are loaded, the module loader cannot complete their
load successfully
- dsa will not be able to make any progress, that is, its driver list
will be empty as long as no switch driver is loaded

If you build dsa into your kernel, you might be fine though, or in a
better shape at least.
