Remove V4L2 async re-probing support. The re-probing support has been there to support cases where the sub-devices require resources provided by the main driver's hardware to function, such as clocks. Reprobing has allowed unbinding and again binding the main driver without explicitly unbinding the sub-device drivers. This is certainly not a common need, and the responsibility will be the user's going forward. An alternative could have been to introduce notifier specific locks. Considering the complexity of the re-probing and that it isn't really a solution to a problem but a workaround, remove re-probing instead. If there is a need to support the clock provider unregister/register cycle while keeping the clock references in the consumers in the future, this should be implemented in the clock framework instead, not in V4L2.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
