[PATCH 2/2] PM / sleep: prohibit devices probing during suspend/hibernation

From: Grygorii Strashko
Date: Thu Oct 08 2015 - 12:57:51 EST


It is unsafe [1] if probing of devices will happen during suspend or
hibernation and system behavior will be unpredictable in this case.
So, lets prohibit device's probing in dpm_prepare() and defer their
probing instead. The normal behavior will be restored in
dpm_complete().

This patch introduces new DD core API device_defer_all_probes(bool enable)
to enable/disable probing of devices:
if @enable = true
It will disable probing of devices and defer their probes.
otherwise
It will restore normal behavior and trigger re-probing of deferred devices.
