From: Markus Armbruster <arm...@redhat.com> Pointer properties can be set only by code, not by device_add. A device with a pointer property can't work with device_add only unless the property may remain null. cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet needs to be set then. PATCH 1/2 sets it when needed and else documents why not. PATCH 2/2 documents this for future users of pointer properties.
This applies on top of my "[PATCH v4 00/10] Clean up and fix no_user" series.
