[PATCH v4 21/22] driver core: Start processing deferred probes earlier

Show all headers | View raw

Some initcalls in the late level assume that some devices will have
already probed without explicitly checking for that.

After the recent move to defer most device probes when they are
registered, pressure increased in the late initcall level.

By starting the processing of the deferred queue in device_initcall_sync
we increase the chances that the initcalls mentioned before will find
the devices they depend on to have already probed.
