The driver core first registers with the hwmon and thermal subsystems and only then proceeds to initialize the switch driver (e.g., mlxsw_spectrum). It is only during the last stage that the current firmware version is validated and a newer one flashed, if necessary. The above means that if a new firmware feature is utilized by the hwmon/thermal code, the driver will not be able to load. Solve this by re-ordering initializing the switch driver before registering with the hwmon and thermal subsystems.

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.
