I hate to say this, but you are right. Can you suggest a way around this
problem? Perhaps arranging things so that the devlist_mutex is held only
during the actual __device_bind_driver call and not during probe... But
there are so many tricky interactions and possible races that this
requires a lot of thought. I'll get back to you.
