From 4abdcf933f647763592db6bef001d1fae61a5527 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Arlott Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 20:56:14 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (5630): Dvb-core: Handle failures to create devices dvb-core is not started early enough when device drivers that use dvb are compiled in so dvb_register_device fails (silently) since dvb_class is NULL, this runs dvb_init using subsys_initcall instead of module_init. dvb_register_device will now check the return value of class_device_create.
