Subject[driver-core PATCH v7 2/9] driver core: Establish clear order of operations for deferred probe and remove
From
Date
Add an additional bit flag to the device struct named async_probe. This
additional flag allows us to guarantee ordering between probe and remove
operations.

This allows us to guarantee that if we execute a remove operation on a
given interface it will not attempt to update the driver member
asynchronously following the earlier operation. Previously this guarantee
was not present and could result in us attempting to remove a driver from
an interface only to have it attempt to attach the driver later when we
finally complete the deferred asynchronous probe call.
