(until complete rework is done) How could we re-probe after a register_switch_driver ?

(until complete rework is done) Hi Neil I was thinking the same last night. We know the switch should be there, otherwise it would not be in DT. So returning -EPROBE_DEFER would be valid.

That's a good question, I am not convinced this is the case. Even with the EPROBE_DEFER returned if the list of drivers is empty, you would still very likely run into the following circular dependency, if you make everything built as a module: - dsa provides register_switch_driver and unregister_switch_driver - switch drivers in drivers/net/dsa/* depend on these two symbols, so until these symbols are loaded, the module loader cannot complete their load successfully - dsa will not be able to make any progress, that is, its driver list will be empty as long as no switch driver is loaded If you build dsa into your kernel, you might be fine though, or in a better shape at least.
