Subject: [git pull] drivercore deferred probe bug fix

Hi Linus,

This was the pending bug fix I mentioned in my previous pull request.
Normally this would go through Greg's tree seeing that it is a
drivercore change, but devicetree exposes the problem. I've discussed
with Greg and he okayed me asking you to pull directly.

Cheers,
g.

  drivercore: deferral race condition fix (2014-04-29 15:44:05 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Drivercore race condition fix (exposed by devicetree)

This branch fixes a bug where a device can get stuck in the deferred
list even though all its dependencies are met. The bug has existed for a
long time, but new platform conversions to device tree have exposed it.
This patch is needed to get those platforms working.
