Drivercore race condition fix (exposed by devicetree) 

This branch fixes a bug where a device can get stuck in the deferred
 list even though all its dependencies are met. The bug has existed for a
 long time, but new platform conversions to device tree have exposed it.
 This patch is needed to get those platforms working.

Pull driver core deferred probe fix from Grant Likely:
 "Drivercore race condition fix (exposed by devicetree)

  This branch fixes a bug where a device can get stuck in the deferred
  list even though all its dependencies are met.  The bug has existed
  for a long time, but new platform conversions to device tree have
  exposed it.  This patch is needed to get those platforms working.

  This was the pending bug fix I mentioned in my previous pull request.
  Normally this would go through Greg's tree seeing that it is a
  drivercore change, but devicetree exposes the problem.  I've discussed
  with Greg and he okayed me asking you to pull directly"
