When there are 2 matched drivers for a device using async probe mechanism, the dev->p->async_driver might be overridden by the last attached driver. So just skip the later one if the previous matched driver was not handled by async thread yet. Below is my use case which having this problem. Make both driver mmcblk and mmc_test allow async probe, the dev->p->async_driver will be overridden by the later driver mmc_test and bind to the device then claim it for testing. When it happen, mmcblk will never do probe again. Signed-off-by: Mark-PK Tsai <mark-pk.tsai@mediatek.com> --- drivers/base/dd.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
