Shyam Saini 8f2451ebaf drivers: base: handle module_kobject creation
[ Upstream commit f95bbfe18512c5c018720468959edac056a17196 ]

module_add_driver() relies on module_kset list for
/sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers directory creation.

Since,
commit 96a1a2412acba ("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time")
drivers which are initialized from subsys_initcall() or any other
higher precedence initcall couldn't find the related kobject entry
in the module_kset list because module_kset is not fully populated
by the time module_add_driver() refers it. As a consequence,
module_add_driver() returns early without calling make_driver_name().
Therefore, /sys/module/<built-in-module>/drivers is never created.

Fix this issue by letting module_add_driver() handle module_kobject
creation itself.

Fixes: 96a1a2412acb ("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
