From e6b733ca2f99e968d696c2e812c8eb8e090bf37b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 19:22:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] samples/damon/prcl: avoid starting DAMON before initialization
Commit 2780505ec2b4 ("samples/damon/prcl: fix boot time enable crash") is somehow incompletely applying the origin patch [1]. It is missing the part that avoids starting DAMON before module initialization. Probably a mistake during a merge has happened. Fix it by applying the missed part again.
