In order for the hwconf file to augment the properties of a hardware dev_info node, it must match the “name” property, the “parent” property, and the first “reg” property. If they don’t match, you’ll get two dev_info nodes – one from the hardware (PROM) and one from the driver.conf file. 4.11 I want to have two drivers in one module. It doesn’t seem to work by putting multiple entries in the modlinkage structure. Including two drivers in a single loadable module is not supported. However, it can be done in a non-compliant way by making three loadable modules. Put all the driver code in one common module and write two small wrapper modules for each driver. The small wrappers need _init, _fini, _info, dev_ops/cb_ops structures for the driver and a line so the two small driver wrappers depend on the main module and get linked with i
