From a85591fd0baf4ed3f03ee1aaac6a985e400cf089 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Sun, 4 May 2008 22:35:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] gdth: fix Error: Driver 'gdth' is already registered, aborting... This message appears on modprobe/rmmod/modprobe of the driver. It's caused because if the driver has no instances, it returns an error from gdth_init, which causes the module to fail to load. Unfortunately, the module's pci driver is still registered at this point. Fix this by making gdth behave like a modern driver and insert even if it doesn't find any instances (in case of hot plug or software driven binding).
