I really hate this type of patch, as it's papering over the real

Yes, it's crude, but it's currently the only way to express a preferred
probe order.

Does the same problem occur with the generic PWM subsystem?

The atmel_pwm driver apparently is the last PWM driver that has
not been converted to the generic subsystem yet. Doing that would
also let us drop the atmel-pwm-bl driver in favor of the generic
backlight.

The atmel pwm driver is on the way to generic subsystem. more information at:
