If amba bus devices defer when adding, the amba bus code simply retries adding the devices every 5 seconds. This doesn't work well as it completely unsynchronized with starting the init process which can happen in less than 5 secs. Add a retry during late_initcall. If the amba devices are added, then deferred probe takes over. If the dependencies have not probed at this point, then there's no improvement over previous behavior. To completely solve this, we'd need to retry after every successful probe as deferred probe does. The list_empty() check now happens outside the mutex, but the mutex wasn't necessary in the first place. This needed to use deferred probe instead of fragile initcall ordering on 32-bit VExpress systems where the apb_pclk has a number of probe dependencies (vexpress-sysregs, vexpress-config).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
