Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] driver core: bus: Fix issues related to
 bus_rescan_devices_helper()

This patch series is to fix issues related to bus_rescan_devices_helper().

The function is improperly used for 2 incompatible scenarios as
explained below:

Scenario A: scan drivers for a single device user specify
 - user may care about precise synchronous scanning result, so the
   function can not collapse error codes.

Scenario B: scan drivers for all devices of a bus
 - user may need to scan drivers for a bus's devices as many as
   possible, so the function needs to ignore inconsequential error
   codes for a device in order to continue to scan for next device.

Fixed by implementing bus_rescan_single_device() for scenario A
and correcting the function for scenario B.
