[2/4] Change function call order in device_bind_driver(). [3/4] Per-subsystem multithreaded probing. [4/4] Don't fail attaching the device if it cannot be bound. Patches 1 and 3 incorporate some comments I received (thanks to the reviewers). Patch 4 comes out of the discussion and tries to handle devices with and without dev->driver set more consistently. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
