While playing with the device_hotplug_lock, can we actually document what it is protecting please? I have a bad feeling that we are adding this lock just because some other code path does rather than with a good idea why it is needed. This patch just confirms that. What exactly does the lock protect from here in an early boot stage. > Cc: "Rafael J.
