[PATCH 10/46] driver core: don't fail attaching the device if it cannot be bound

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Cornelia Huck <[email protected]>

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound.

If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver()
failed and add the device as an unbound device.  As a result,
bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from
device_add().

Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().
