I checked a bit more, it seems the resource will be removed first if there's
a deffer probe error.
static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
.....
probe_failed:
        devres_release_all(dev);
        driver_sysfs_remove(dev);
        dev->driver = NULL;

        if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
                /* Driver requested deferred probing */
                dev_info(dev, "Driver %s requests probe deferral\n", drv->name);
                driver_deferred_probe_add(dev);
		...
	}
So we may not need devm_kfree for the EPROBE_DEFER error here.
It looks to me reasonable that managed resource covers the defer probe
error.
