[PATCH v2 2/6] driver core: Add common support to skip probe for un-authorized devices

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan
Date: Wed Sep 29 2021 - 21:05:44 EST


While the common case for device-authorization is to skip probe of
unauthorized devices, some buses may still want to emit a message on
probe failure (Thunderbolt), or base probe failures on the
authorization status of a related device like a parent (USB). So add
an option (has_probe_authorization) in struct bus_type for the bus
driver to own probe authorization policy.
