Subject: driver core: Add deferred_probe attribute to devices in sysfs
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6751667a29d6fd64afb9ce30567ad616b68ed789;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

driver core: Add deferred_probe attribute to devices in sysfs

It is sometimes useful to know that a device is on the deferred probe
list rather than, say, not having a driver available.  Expose this
information to user-space.

+Date:		August 2016
+Contact:	Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is
+		present for all devices.  If a driver detects during
+		probing a device that a related device is not yet
+		ready, it may defer probing of the first device.  The
+		kernel will retry probing the first device after any
+		other device is successfully probed.  This attribute
+		reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently
+		deferred, or 0 otherwise.
