Subject[PATCH v7 01/20] driver core: handle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()
Date
Lets implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to
return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for
deferred probing.

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered
before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW
(typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).
