If we are going to support having multiple driver's for a given device which is a bus (like we do now for PCI busses and like I am doing for this concept of a system buson i386) then I think that bus devices do not need to go identify child devices until after they have won the probe and are being attached. Thus, I'm ending up calling bus_generic_probe() in my attach routines instead of my probe routines. Does this make sense or am I missing something? I at least have to do this in the system bus case here for the same reasons that when I added another PCI bus driver, I had to change the PCI drivers to add children devices (equivalent of doing an identify) during attach() time and not during probe() time. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-new-bus" in the body of the message
