Subject: acpi_memhotplug.c: bind the memory device when the driver is being loaded
X-Git-Tag: next-20121016~2^2~53
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=711366b0de4e425d4705fc290868db90f096a077;p=karo-tx-linux.git

acpi_memhotplug.c: bind the memory device when the driver is being loaded

We had introduced acpi_hotmem_initialized to avoid strange add_memory fail
message.  But the memory device may not be used by the kernel, and the
device should be bound when the driver is being loaded.  Remove
acpi_hotmem_initialized to allow that the device can be bound when the
driver is being loaded.
