    V4L/DVB (11561a): move media after i2c · a357482a
    Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
    Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after
    base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire,
    usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use
    generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because
    during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct
    i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is
    initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem.
    
    The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see
    what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media
    has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday
    as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it
    would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be
    much bigger of a change, I think.
