>Problem: what should be the return type of *attach() routines ? Perhaps it should be void to match reality, but it currently must be int for isa drivers to match the prototype in `struct isa_driver'. >The drivers in /sys/pci all return void for the attach routine. They have to, to match the prototype in `strcuct pci_driver'. >- move all actions which might fail (e.g. allocate memory ?) to the > probe routine; Impossible, e.g. since probe routines shouldn't allocate memory.
