Hi Marek,

Thank you for the patch.

This might be a stupid question, but as you only call driver_sysfs_remove with 
failed set to true in a single location (in the failure path of really_probe), 
how about moving the blocking_notifier_call_chain to that location ? The code 
seems to be a bit out of place here.
