This was the original method used since introduction of RapidIO + subsystem. Now this method relies on enumerator module parameter which is + 'rio-scan.scan' for existing basic enumeration/discovery method. + When automatic start of enumeration/discovery is used a user has to ensure + that all discovering endpoints are started before the enumerating endpoint + and are waiting for enumeration to be completed. + Configuration option CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time that discovering + endpoint waits for enumeration to be completed.

This initiation method provides more flexibility + for a system startup compared to the option (a) above.

This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display hardware. Examples use-cases include: * The built-in LCD panels on the Samsung ARM chromebook, and Tegra devices, and likely many other ARM or embedded systems. These cannot yet be supported using a full graphics driver, since the panel control should be provided by the CDF (Common Display Framework), which has been stuck in design/review for quite some time. One could support these panels using custom SoC-specific code, but there is a desire to use common infra-structure rather than having each SoC vendor invent their own code, hence the desire to wait for CDF. * Hardware for which a full graphics driver is not yet available, and the path to obtain one upstream isn't yet clear. For example, the Raspberry Pi. * Any hardware in early stages of upstreaming, before a full graphics driver has been tackled. This driver can provide a graphical boot console (even full X support) much earlier in the upstreaming process, thus making new SoC or board support more generally useful earlier.
