Re: [PATCH] driver core: fix race with userland in device_add()

[Sergey Klyaus <Sergey.Klyaus@tune-it.ru>]

bus_add_device() should be called before devtmpfs_create_node(), so when 
userland application opens device from devtmpfs, it wouldn't get ENODEV 
from kernel, because device_add() wasn't completed.
