arm qemu test failures due to 'driver-core: platform: probe of-devices only using list of compatibles'

[Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>]

Uwe,

Your patch 'driver-core: platform: probe of-devices only using list of
compatibles' causes the following qemu tests to crash in -next.

arm:vexpress-a9:vexpress_defconfig:vexpress-v2p-ca9
arm:vexpress-a15:vexpress_defconfig:vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1
arm:vexpress-a9:multi_v7_defconfig:vexpress-v2p-ca9
arm:vexpress-a15:multi_v7_defconfig:vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1

Crash log:

VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
1f00          131072 mtdblock0  (driver?)
1f01           32768 mtdblock1  (driver?)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

ie the mmc driver no longer instantiates. Reverting the patch fixes the problem.

Bisect log is attached.

Guenter
