PATCH 1/1 ARM: at91: remove unnecessary of_platform_default_populate calls

The DT core will call of_platform_default_populate, so it is not necessary for machine specific code to call it unless there are custom match entries, auxdata or parent device. Neither of those apply here, so remove the call.

This breaks the platform in two different ways:
- PM is not working anymore because of the missing SRAM node
- the pinctrl driver fails to probe and so many drivers are deferring the probe forever

Relevant messages (once the earlycon crap is removed to let earlyprintk do its job):

at91_pm_sram_init: failed to find sram device!
AT91: PM not supported, due to no SRAM allocated

So the at91_pm_sram_init function tries to get SRAM platform device, but it doesn't exist yet. Of course, that is fragile because while the device may exist, it's just luck that it's driver has probed already. Would using .init_late hook instead of .init_machine work for you?

Ideally, couldn't much of this code be converted to a driver? It's a bit strange for initcall code to have a driver dependency.

pinctrl-at91: probe of ahb:apb:pinctrl at fc06a000 failed with error -22

So this one has the strange dependency that the child nodes probe before the parent node. That's backwards. Probe order is probably changing from link order (all the devices are created before drivers register) to device creation order. I think the fix is the pinctrl driver should just count the gpio child nodes rather than relying on aliases (which I'm not a fan of either). I can write a patch to do that.

.init_late seems to work after testing quickly

You probably didn't see it because they still have a soc_device parent but Arnd wanted us to remove it so it is gone.

PATCH 1/1 ARM: at91: remove unnecessary of_platform_default_populate calls

In reply to Alexandre Belloni

From: Rob Herring <[email protected]>

DO NOT APPLY: breaking boot on at91 (sama5d3 xplained / NAND at least)

The DT core will call of_platform_default_populate, so it is not necessary for machine specific code to call it unless there are custom match entries, auxdata or parent device. Neither of those apply here, so remove the call.

Rob, Alexandre,

This is the updated patch by Rob.
Tested on sama5d3 xplained platform it fails at least with NAND and, as you observed Alexandre, SRAM.

The pinctrl patch [1] applied seem to solve the problem with GPIO/pinctrl.

So, this move is not ready now, but we can make progress, little by little.

Best regards,
Nicolas
