Yes, which is why this series is _WAY_ on the bottom of my list for
reviews...

I wasn't aware of that prior discussion, it would have helped to know
that this is a major concern for you ...

If using device_is_bound() is a no-go then _find_onboard_hub() of
the onboard_hub driver could make it's decision based on the
presence (or absence) of drvdata, which is what the function ultimately
returns.

Sorry, that was on a different thread for a different feature, I thought
it was this one.  Too many reviews at times.

That suffers from the same problem.  I'll take a look at this later
after -rc1 is out and see what can be done here...

Did you have any suggestions or pointers to places to further research
what you're looking for? I think at this point both Stephen Boyd and I
have given the patch series a fairly thorough review. If the only
problem left is the export of device_is_bound() then we should find a
better solution to the problem so the series can move forward.

Thanks!
