[PATCH] driver core: add a debugfs entry to show deferred devices

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Tue Jun 19 2018 - 16:59:23 EST


For debugging purposes it may be useful to know what are the devices whose
probe function was deferred. Add a debugfs entry showing that information.

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/deferred_devices
48070000.i2c:twl@48:bci
musb-hdrc.0.auto
omapdrm.0

Changes since RFC v1:
- Remove unneeded ret variable from deferred_devs_show()

Changes since RFC v2:
- Use DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() macro.
- Don't propagate debugfs_create_file() error.
- Remove IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) guards.
- Drop RFC prefix.
