[Linux-fbdev-devel] __init questions

[Jani M. <ja...@as...>]

Hi
as I see the
int __init init_XXXXfb functions are called twice at bootup,
once by the fbmem_init() function and once when all __init
functions are called.Is that OK?Well the only annoyance is that it prints
twice that the board is found but still....
Maybe there should (is there any?) be a section where functions which must
be discarded after bootup are placed,but not necessarily and automatically
called like __init ones.
Then a lot of fns could be marked like that without fearing they might be
called unexpectedly due to  link order problems...But unless I miss
something (as usually) this is a lkml topic.

 And what is the difference(in behaviour) of drivers which use
and those which don't use resource management;they are separated by a
comment in the driver list in fbmem.Does it only matter when we have more
than one in the same box?

Thank
Jani.
