What: /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe Date: August 2016 Contact: Ben Hutchings Description: The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is present for all devices. If a driver detects during probing a device that a related device is not yet ready, it may defer probing of the first device. The kernel will retry probing the first device after any other device is successfully probed. This attribute reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently deferred, or 0 otherwise.
