From 216773a787c3c46ef26bf1742c1fdba37d26be45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:59:06 +0100 Subject: Consolidate driver_probe_done() loops into one place there's a few places that currently loop over driver_probe_done(), and I'm about to add another one. This patch abstracts it into a helper to reduce duplication. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
