How do we know that it's not a kernel misconfiguration? It's common for people to not build some of the component drivers they need.
Is what you described really a misconfiguration? Enabling debug when something does not work seems obvious thing to do, but okay, perhaps anything bellow error level would make me happy enough.
Yes, it's something that's really common when people configure their own kernels.
If you don't like deferred probing please contribute to the efforts to order probing.
As a side note, which efforts are you reffering to here?
Things like Raphael's device dependencies work.
I just tried to make it consistend to other subsystems where patches to silence deferred probing warnings are accepted...
Which subsystems are these? We should look at fixing them...
tty and usb for example. I do not consider wise to looking at them until this very subsystem gets fixed first to not distract ourselves ;-) (Also I have admit, that accepted patches hide error message on deferred probe only, but above occurs _also_ on deferred probe and yes, it would be nice to have that fixed)
This really does make it harder to figure out what's going on when the dependency is actually missing - it transforms things into a silent failure.
