If not, what is the preferred method if one device or register needs to be set before others?
If you need to initialize a device early you can always do it in auto.c,
but
it depends which device it is..... For example, if it is a PCI device, you will need to initialize the PCI bridge first, and then you can initialize the PCI device.
Yes, but if you don't use auto.c does the order in Config.lb have an effect on the order in which registers are written to or read from?
Hmm, only one way to find out. Move some stuff around Config.lb, and compare the bootlog with past bootlogs. I'd be curious to find out the results.
