      [PATCH] ipmi: use platform_device_add() instead of platform_device_register() to register device allocated dynamically

      The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.
      
      If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
      platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
      platform_device_add should be used to register the device.
      
      The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
      platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add
      won't.

      Getting there.  Hopefully the MSI and other interrupt problems are all
      solved now.

      [PATCH] powerpc: windfarm shall request it's sub modules · d31e8171
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      The windfarm code, in it's current incarnation, uses request_module() to
      load the various submodules it needs for a given platform so that only
      the main platform control module needs to be modprobed. However, it was
      missing various bits. This fixes it. In the future, we'll use some
      hotplug mecanisms to try to get all of this auto-loaded on the platforms
      where it matters but that isn't ready yet.
