[PATCH v1] driver core: Add "*" wildcard support to driver_async_probe cmdline param

[PATCH v1] driver core: Add "*" wildcard support to driver_async_probe cmdline param

[Saravana Kannan]

There's currently no way to use driver_async_probe kernel cmdline param
to enable default async probe for all drivers.  So, add support for "*"
to match with all driver names.  When "*" is used, all other drivers
listed in driver_async_probe are drivers that will NOT match the "*".

For example:
* driver_async_probe=drvA,drvB,drvC
  drvA, drvB and drvC do asynchronous probing.

* driver_async_probe=*
  All drivers do asynchronous probing except those that have set
  PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS flag.

* driver_async_probe=*,drvA,drvB,drvC
  All drivers do asynchronous probing except drvA, drvB, drvC and those
  that have set PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS flag.
