Why the i915 driver gets initialized *so late*?
Maybe, because it’s built as a module?
$ grep I915 /boot/config-4.20.8.mx64.245 CONFIG_DRM_I915=m # CONFIG_DRM_I915_ALPHA_SUPPORT is not set CONFIG_DRM_I915_CAPTURE_ERROR=y CONFIG_DRM_I915_COMPRESS_ERROR=y CONFIG_DRM_I915_USERPTR=y # CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT is not set CONFIG_SND_HDA_I915=yThat explains. You built the HD-audio as built-in while the graphics as module. This makes the binding impossible at the time of sound driver initialization.
If you build the graphics driver as a module, built the sound driver also as a module.
Can this be enforced by the Kconfig configuration? If not, should the warning/error message be extended with this hint?
Kind regards,
Paul
