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

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

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
