If multiple clients are registered on a single camera host interface,
the user-space hot-plug software can try to access the one, that probed
first, before probing of the second one has completed. This can be
handled by individual host drivers, but it is even better to hold back
the user-space until all the probing on this host has completed. This
fixes a race on ecovec with two clients registered on the CEU1 host, which
otherwise triggers a BUG() in sh_mobile_ceu_remove_device().

Mauro, since this fixes a race, present in the current kernel, I'll push
it for 3.4 later. Or you can just pick it up from this mail - I don't have
any more pending fixes atm.
