when trying to add berlin pcie support and came up one patch

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-November/384575.html

when build testing, I also realized this issue, but keystone relies on
hook_fault_code() which is will be freed after boot, so your patch isn't
completed.

And from the keystone driver implementation, it seems assume the driver won't
be defer probed.

Thanks
