Have moved all this code to base/platform.c instead, as I don't see any reason to have it in property.c.

I have to say I'm still not 100% clear that special casing platform devices makes sense here - I can see that platform devices are usually the first devices to instantiate but there are other kinds of devices and it's not obvious what the benefit of specifically picking out platform devices as opposed to just deferring all devices is.

Some existing devices cannot be deferred without redesigning things quite a bit. What I was talking about, though, was to use an opt-in mechanism for that which could be set for all platform devices, for example, by default, but it might be set for other bus types too if that's useful.

OK, that should go in the changelog then - right now it's just a bit obtuse why we're doing this (and as you say it's a bit awkward). Now you mention this I'm thinking that some of the affected devices might be platform devices on some systems, IOMMUs spring to mind for example... they're one of the main bits of the system I'm aware of that still rely on probe ordering and they do tend to be platform devices. > What I was talking about, though, was to use an opt-in mechanism for > that which could be set for all platform devices, for example, by > default, but it might be set for other bus types too if that's useful. Sure, I got that and do agree with you that a mechanism like you suggest would be good. I just wasn't clear why we were targetting platform devices in the first place.

Delay matches of platform devices until late_initcall, when we are sure that all built-in drivers have been registered already. This is needed to prevent deferred probes because of some dependencies' drivers not having registered yet. This reduces the total amount of work that the kernel does during boot because it won't try to match devices to drivers when built-in drivers are still registering but also reduces some parallelism, so total boot time might slightly increase or decrease depending on the platform and kernel configuration. This change will make make possible to prevent any deferred probes once devices are probed in dependency order.
