Gui-Dong Han hanguidong02@gmail.com driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device()
This breaks boot on at least the Arm Juno platform, upstream it introduced regressions on quite a few systems due to drivers registering in the probe of other devices. That's obviously not a great pattern but a regreession is a regression.
