[PATCH] driver core: fix error handling in bus_add_device
The error handling in bus_add_device() and device_attach() is simply non-existing. This patch propagates any error from device_attach to the upper layers to allow for a proper recovery. From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
