Subject: ACPI / memhotplug: bind the memory device when the driver is being loaded
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=61d8eff14417fb6d6c5d57e4f0f7925e9e99fce3;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ACPI / memhotplug: bind the memory device when the driver is being loaded

We had introduced acpi_hotmem_initialized to avoid strange add_memory fail
message.  But the memory device may not be used by the kernel, and the
device should be bound when the driver is being loaded.  Remove
acpi_hotmem_initialized to allow that the device can be bound when the
driver is being loaded.
