[PATCH] base: driver: store probe deferred reason in device structure

Johannes Zink j.zink at pengutronix.de
Thu Jul 7 01:25:08 PDT 2022


This ignores prevents probe deferred warnings in the log output and stores the
probe deferred reason in the device structure. 

If a probe is permanently deferred, the last deferral reason why it was displayed. 

Other dev_err_probe outputs are displayed as before.
