driver core: Fix bus_type.match() error handling in __driver_attach()
commit 27c0d217340e47ec995557f61423ef415afba987 upstream. When a driver registers with a bus, it will attempt to match with every device on the bus through the __driver_attach() function. Currently, if the bus_type.match() function encounters an error that is not -EPROBE_DEFER, __driver_attach() will return a negative error code, which causes the driver registration logic to stop trying to match with the remaining devices on the bus. This behavior is not correct; a failure while matching a driver to a device does not mean that the driver won't be able to match and bind with other devices on the bus. Update the logic in __driver_attach() to reflect this. Fixes: 656b8035b0ee ("ARM: 8524/1: driver cohandle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Signed-off-by: Isaac J.
