What is the use case of using: MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: another-external-kernel-module..."); because I completely don't understand. If I have phandle to another-external-kernel-module in dts which is mandatory in my kernel driver then should I put this line in my kernel driver code? If I use function of core.c which is my framework and this is also as external module then should I put this line in my kernel driver code: MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: testframework-core");
Who knows please respond as this is black magic for me.
If you do not understand what this does, I would not worry about it as that implies that you do not need it :) Just write a simple driver, no need for fancy frameworks or anything else, first. Then worry about optimizing it after you get review from the community. good luck! greg k-h
