Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Disable late probes by default

To smooth the transition to late probes, make disabled the default for
DELAY_DEVICE_PROBES and let individual SoCs enable the option as they
get fixed.

Hi Rob,

I'm sending this in case you think it would be best to leave the
on-demand probe series in -next for now but have late probes disabled to
avoid hassle to some people.

Regards,

Tomeu
