Typically an ->attach_dev() callback would fetch some PM resourses.

Those operations, like for example clk_get() may fail with different
errors, including -EPROBE_DEFER. Instead of ignoring these errors and
potentially only print an error message, let's propagate them to give
callers the option to handle them.

Given that several patch series using ->attach_dev() are already floating
around and will be in -next soon, what is the plan of getting this in?
Doing it ASAP (in v3.18-rc3)?
Delaying this to v3.19-rc2, which will require an atomic fixing of its users?
Any other option?

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
