OK, thanks. We may want to wait a bit on those, but I'll reply to
that thread.

I doubt that we want to start messing with the current ordering
of the drivers/Makefile. That always breaks something else, and
the real fix is to get -EPROBE_DEFER to work for us.

With the DSS there are way too many dependencies to various other
drivers to try to initialize it early. We're better off just fixing
it to work with -EPROBE_DEFER.
