[PATCH v1 3/3] driver core: Avoid deferred probe due to fw_devlink_pause/resume()

From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 15:43:16 EST


With the earlier patch in this series, all devices that deferred probe
due to fw_devlink_pause() will have their probes delayed till the
deferred probe thread is kicked off during late_initcall. This will also
affect all their consumers.

This delayed probing in unnecessary. So this patch just keeps track of
the devices that had their probe deferred due to fw_devlink_pause() and
attempts to probe them once during fw_devlink_resume().

Fixes: 716a7a259690 ("driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing")
