This reverts commit 6751667a29d6fd64afb9ce30567ad616b68ed789.

Rob Herring objected to it, and a replacement for it will be added using
debugfs in the future.

-Date:          August 2016
-Contact:       Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
-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.
