I think it means we are safe - since either way, we make sure ufs-qcom probe will be called and finish before dealing with ufs_variant device in ufshcd_pltfrm probe. 2) you are right. the fix added as you suggested. let us know your thoughts about the V3 once it's uploaded thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
