Ok after checking drivers/base/dd.c it seems like what I should be doing
here is to simply exit the probe function and pass on -EPROBE_DEFER as
the return value of the probe function, and the system would then
automatically take care of re-trying the probe later, correct? Please
let know, I want to make sure this patch series is converging into an
acceptable state.
