mainlining shenanigans
c8c43cee29
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() has some uninituitive behavior. * From boot to late_initcall, it returns -EPROBE_DEFER * From late_initcall to the deferred_probe_timeout (if set) it returns -ENODEV * If the deferred_probe_timeout it set, after it fires, it returns -ETIMEDOUT This is a bit confusing, as its useful to have the function return -EPROBE_DEFER while the timeout is still running. This behavior has resulted in the somwhat duplicative driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue() function being added. Thus this patch tries to improve the logic, so that it behaves as such: * If late_initcall has passed, and modules are not enabled it returns -ENODEV * If modules are enabled and deferred_probe_timeout is set, it returns -EPROBE_DEFER until the timeout, afterwhich it returns -ETIMEDOUT. * In all other cases, it returns -EPROBE_DEFER This will make the deferred_probe_timeout value much more functional, and will allow us to consolidate the driver_deferred_probe_check_state() and driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue() logic in a later patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
