From: Cornelia Huck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound.

If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver()
failed and add the device as an unbound device. As a result, bus_attach_device()
now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from device_add().

Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().
