From 23426a25e55a417dc104df08781b6eff95e65f3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Lunn Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 15:16:45 +0200 Subject: net: dsa: Fix load order between DSA drivers and taggers The DSA core, DSA taggers and DSA drivers all make use of module_init(). Hence they get initialised at device_initcall() time. The ordering is non-deterministic. It can be a DSA driver is bound to a device before the needed tag driver has been initialised, resulting in the message: No tagger for this switch Rather than have this be fatal, return -EPROBE_DEFER so that it is tried again later once all the needed drivers have been loaded.
