Subject: [PATCH RFC] driver core: Reprobe consumer if it was unbound by dropped device_link
Date:   Thu, 22 Feb 2018 19:42:46 +0200

Put consumer device to deferred probe list if it is unbound due to a
dropped link to a supplier.

When a device link supplier is unbound (either manually or because one
of its own suppliers was unbound), its consumers are unbound as
well. Currently if the supplier binds again after this the consumer
does not automatically probe again. With this patch it does.

If this patch is not acceptable as such, how about adding this
behavior behind a new device link flag?

The idea to this patch was gotten from this post by Lucas Wunner:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg166318.html

Part of the code and the description is borrowed from him.
