Hi Ohad, Suman

I'm about to send out some patches that depends on this functionality,
how do we move forward?

I still think it's wrong to not return -EPROBE_DEFER, but I much
rather have the code returning NULL than not having it in the tree (we
can always argue about it later...).

@Suman, do you remember if there was any other comments on the patch?

@Ohad, do you object merging Suman's patch in it's current form? I
think it should still apply cleanly.

Regards,
Bjorn
