Can SPI be loaded earlier?.

Hi!.
I am experimenting with a SPI display and fbtft driver. I want to load the kernel module fbtft_device at startup so I added it to /etc/modules-load.d and /etc/modprobe.d but I am getting the following error:
So it seems that the module was going to loaded when SPI was not available yet. So that's my question. Is there a way to get /dev/spidev2.0 available in an earlier stage?.
For the record, if I modprobe the module from /etc/rc.local, it loads fine.
Thanks. kind regards.

Perhaps you could try adding the 'spi_pxa2xx_platform' module before the 'fbtft_device' module? That might ensure that the SPI controller driver gets loaded first. I haven't tested it myself though.

Hi Dan.
spi_pxa2xx_platform needs no parameters?
Thanks. -
No parameters needed for spi_pxa2xx_platform

Adding 'spi_pxa2xx_platform' to /etc/modules-load.d did the trick. Thanks.
