From: Ming Lei Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:45:07 +0000 (+0800) Subject: driver core: remove polling for driver_probe_done(v5) X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b23530ebc339c4092ae2c9f37341a5398fea8b89;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git driver core: remove polling for driver_probe_done(v5) This patch removes 100ms polling for driver_probe_done in wait_for_device_probe(), and uses wait_event() instead. Removing polling in fs initialization may lead to a faster boot. This patch also changes the return type of wait_for_device_done() from int to void. This patch is against Arjan's patch in linux-next tree.
