DESCRIPTION

       This  function  is  called  during  autoconfiguration  to initialise the devices in the system.  For each
       device, the DEVICE_PROBE(9) method of each  suitable  driver  is  called  and  if  a  probe  succeeds,  a
       description  of  the  device  is  printed  and  the  DEVICE_ATTACH(9) method is called.  If the device is
       disabled using device_disable(9) then it will not be probed.

RETURN VALUES
