[Letux-kernel] modprobe twl4030_* hangs

[H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Hi,
after some more tests it is clearly:

twl4030_charger on the GTA04
bq2429x_charger on the Pyra

If I remove these modules and do a depmod -a both systems boot (almost) fine and fast.
On the GTA04 I have no USB/OTG connection.

Then doing a modprobe twl4030_charger on the GTA04 makes the modprobe hang...

I.e. the driver is buggy. Perhaps the EPROBE_DEFER patch we have introduced?
Which waits for the USB-PHY (which appears not to be available).

AFAIK these drivers have nothing in common. Except part of the name and that
both are I2C devices. And both register as "power supply".

Any ideas?

BR,
Nikolaus
