Hi

I've got a situation, for which I currently don't have a (good) solution.

Let's say device A depends on device B and as long as B hasn't probed, A 
requests deferred probing. Now B probes, which causes A to also succeed 
its probing. Next we want to remove B, say, by unloading its driver. A has 
to go back into "deferred-probing" state. How do we do it? This can be 
achieved by unloading B's driver and loading again. Essentially, we have 
to use the sysfs "unbind" and then the "bind" attributes. But how do we do 
this from the kernel? Shall we export driver_bind() and driver_unbind()?

Thanks
Guennadi
