[PATCH 06/15] driver model: anti-oopsing medicine

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Anti-oops medicine for the class iterators ... the oops was
observed when a class was implicitly referenced before it
was initialized.

[Modified by Greg to spit a warning back so someone knows to fix their code]
