From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5e469dac326555d2038d199a6329458cc82a34e5 ] The bus probe callback calls the driver callback without further checking. Better be safe than sorry and refuse registration of a driver without a probe function to prevent a NULL pointer exception.
