Driver registration fails on SOC imx8mn as its supplier, the clock
control module, is probed later than subsys initcall level. This driver
uses platform_driver_probe which is not compatible with deferred probing
and won't be probed again later if probe function fails due to clock not
being available at that time.

This patch replaces the use of platform_driver_probe with
platform_driver_register which will allow probing the driver later again
when the clock control module will be available.

Changes in v5:
- Update the commit message.
- Add the patch "dmaengine: mxs: fix section mismatch" to remove the
  warning raised by this patch.

Changes in v4:
- Restore __init in front of mxs_dma_probe() definition.
- Rename the mxs_dma_driver variable to mxs_dma_driver_probe.
- Update the commit message.
- Use builtin_platform_driver() instead of module_platform_driver().

Changes in v3:
- Restore __init in front of mxs_dma_init() definition.

Changes in v2:
- Add the tag "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" in the sign-off area.

How I see it v3 of this patch is perfectly fine and should be taken
instead of this one. I just commented that to v3.

Not sure if Vinod would take v3, or if you should resend v3 as v6
instead. If you do, you can add my Acked-by.

Vinod, please let us know what you prefer.

Could you please let me know how to proceed? This patch has been pending for
a while and it's a real shame as the change is minimal and fixes a
real issue that is
still present in the mainline and stable kernels.

Thanks and regards,
Dario

Ooops, Somehow this seems to have really slipped. Sorry I owe you an
apology for this

I am still not sure of this patch yet, lets get it right and merged
quickly. I will send my review later today

I just realized that unlike what I said v3 of this patch is still wrong
as it leaves the __init annotation on mxs_dma_init() which is called
from (non __init) mxs_dma_probe(). v3 probably doesn't give a section
mismatch warning because mxs_dma_init() is inlined.

Really v2 is the one we should take which is at:

hmmm, looking at the old revs, that does look sane. My question was why
__init change is there, it needs to be documented and if there are two
different reasons, add that

I agree rev 2 is the right things to do and changelog needs to add why
we dropped __init (i dont think this should be a different patchset as
that leads to warnings ...
