Drivercore race condition fix (exposed by devicetree) 

This branch fixes a bug where a device can get stuck in the deferred
 list even though all its dependencies are met. The bug has existed for a
 long time, but new platform conversions to device tree have exposed it.
 This patch is needed to get those platforms working.

 "Drivercore race condition fix (exposed by devicetree)

  This branch fixes a bug where a device can get stuck in the deferred
  list even though all its dependencies are met.  The bug has existed
  for a long time, but new platform conversions to device tree have
  exposed it.  This patch is needed to get those platforms working.

  This was the pending bug fix I mentioned in my previous pull request.
  Normally this would go through Greg's tree seeing that it is a
  drivercore change, but devicetree exposes the problem.  I've discussed
  with Greg and he okayed me asking you to pull directly"
