Not only do you need the probe order to be "correct", you also need some
luck to have the smd code execute its two workers to initialise the
rpmcc driver before your serial driver is probed. So I don't think we
should merge this upstream.


I tried this on my linux-next tree on db410c and it doesn't hide the
problem for me.
