Order in which kernel decides binding device driver

[Hritik Vijay <hritikxx8@gmail.com>]

Hello

I've experimented with two device drivers targeting a single device,
both hot-pluggable. When the device plugs in, both the modules are loaded.
This is expected behavior of udev. After being loaded, only one of the
drivers offered by them is chosen to be bound to the device
i.e. only one module gets to execute their `probe` function.

I tried looking through the source to find out which module would get
the preference but I would really like some clarification on the
topic. 
In what order will the kernel decide to give opportunities to device 
drivers to bind to a device ?
