It is still slightly more “complicated” from a distribution perspective, but if that is what makes it a “clean” solution, then that is the way to go forward. I will investigate the fine details, but I fear we may need some “compatibility” magic similar to “new_id” in USB to make it work, because it seems as if you can ONLY force a driver to bind if it _is_ compatible... See also here: https://lwn.net/Articles/143397/ But from what I can tell this functionality (mentioned in this article by Greg) has not been moved into driver-core and bus, so we would need to run our own version of it.-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
