look at drivers/base/dd.c
static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
//snip
        if (dev->bus->probe) {
                ret = dev->bus->probe(dev);
                if (ret)
                        goto probe_failed;
        } else if (drv->probe) {
                ret = drv->probe(dev);
                if (ret)
                        goto probe_failed;
        }
Tip:Whenever you want to see how some function is being called use
dump_stack().This will give you the call chain leading up to your
function call which you are interested in.
