Subject[PATCH v2] driver-core: Return EBUSY error instead of BUG_ON()
Date
I triggerd the BUG_ON() in driver_register(), which was added in
f48f3febb2cbfd0f2ecee7690835ba745c1034a4, when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my case).

Instead of running into a BUG_ON() we print an error message
identifying the driver but continue booting.
