Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] driver core: handle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()

From: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@...labora.com>

Allow implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to
return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for
deferred probing.

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered
before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW
(typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).

Signed-off-by: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@...labora.com>
[changed if-else code structure, adjusted documentation to match the code,
extended comments]

 When a device is registered, the bus's list of drivers is iterated
 over. bus->match() is called for each one until a match is found.
