+ * Deferred Probe infrastructure.
+ *
+ * Sometimes driver probe order matters, but the kernel doesn't always have
+ * dependency information which means some drivers will get probed before a
+ * resource it depends on is available. For example, an SDHCI driver may
+ * first need a GPIO line from an i2c GPIO controller before it can be
+ * initialized. If a required resource is not available yet, a driver can
+ * request probing to be deferred by returning -EPROBE_DEFER from its probe hook
+ *
+ * Deferred probe maintains two lists of devices, a pending list and an active
+ * list. A driver returning -EPROBE_DEFER causes the device to be added to the
+ * pending list. A successful driver probe will trigger moving all devices
+ * from the pending to the active list so that the workqueue will eventually
+ * retry them.
+ *
+ * The deferred_probe_mutex must be held any time the deferred_probe_*_list
+ * of the (struct device*)->deferred_probe pointers are manipulated
