BUILTIN_DRIVER(9)                 Device drivers infrastructure                 BUILTIN_DRIVER(9)



NAME
       builtin_driver - Helper macro for drivers that don't do anything special in init and have
       no exit. This eliminates some boilerplate. Each driver may only use this macro once, and
       calling it replaces device_initcall (or in some cases, the legacy __initcall). This is
       meant to be a direct parallel of module_driver above but without the __exit stuff that is
       not used for builtin cases.

SYNOPSIS
       builtin_driver(__driver, __register, ...);

ARGUMENTS
       __driver
           driver name

       __register
           register function for this driver type @...: Additional arguments to be passed to
           __register

       ...
           variable arguments

DESCRIPTION
       Use this macro to construct bus specific macros for registering drivers, and do not use it
       on its own.
