The device might have already been probed during the call to device_probe() on its parent device (e.g. PCI bridge devices). In its parent device's probe routine, it might probe all of its child devices via device_probe() thus the codes reenter device_probe_child(). To support code reentrancy, test these allocated memory against NULL to avoid memory leak, and return to the caller if dev->flags has DM_FLAG_ACTIVATED set after device_probe() returns, so that we don't mess up the device.

Looks like a good solution and it's good to have the comments too.
