Re: [PATCH] drivers:staging: sources for ST core

[Alan Cox]

Sorry but I can't make head or tail of this and the code flow you are
trying to achieve.

The usual way you do stuff is to put per device stuff in a per device
struct, driver wide stuff in a driver struct (or static variables) and
then run everything from the device end.

I'd expect a low level driver to do something like


	probe()
		create device entry
		initialise device (eg download firmware)
		register itself with anything higher level
