When both a device and a driver have been registered, then the probe
routine will be called.

Normally, the devices are registered in your board files.

first and then HDMI driver.

The order is determined by how they're registered (i.e. which initcall is
used:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.6/include/linux/init.h#L209

module_init maps to device_initcall

Within the same level, the order is determined by the order that the files
appear in the Makefiles.
