That's not a signed tag :(

Anyway, I REALLY don't like this series (sorry for the delay in
reviewing them, normally I trust Rob's judgement...)

I can't see adding calls like this all over the tree just to solve a
bus-specific problem, you are adding of_* calls where they aren't
needed, or wanted, at all.

What is the root-problem of your delay in device probing?  I read your
last patch series and I can't seem to figure out what the issue is that
this is solving in any "better" way from the existing deferred probing.

thanks,
