From c6a46696f97ff260a4ecce5e287f8de4b9d7fe14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cornelia Huck Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 16:15:26 -0800 Subject: driver core: don't fail attaching the device if it cannot be bound 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().
