For some unknown reason, Orson was missing in this list :) I'm adding him back. This is not the latest version of our FM driver. You can find the version we're using within Spreadtrum here [1], and the kernel version we're using is v4.4.49. > > Any objection for me adding it to the kernel tree so we can fix up the We have no objection to adding this driver to the kernel tree. > issues that Arnd points out in it (not to mention the coding style > issues...) Actually, our FM driver owner Songhe (cc'ed here) had checked by adding logs, the probe() function was called only once during the whole initialization. They have made a few times of review on the driver and haven't found any suspicion in it, so Zhongping thought out the solution you can see in this patch.
