I do think that is same problem which is in the driver/base core.

it should support delay loading driver for the hotplug case at the first point.
that is reason that .start is introduced for acpi driver..to workround
the problem
in driver core.

after you remove that .start, that will the same as my two patches.
except that you patches toggle that per-device add_type for every device.

and my patches is only toggle that per device drivers_autoprobe for
hot-add devices.

yesterday, I replace my two acpi driver delay loading patches with your patches.

during pci root bus hot remove/add test, got the panic...

did not have time to look at it yet.
