It's actually not a hardware issue. This is my test case, just return
-EINVAL in arm_smmu_device_probe. The HW probe(arm_smmu_device_hw_probe)
is just part of SMMU driver probe and the failure may be caused by SW. So
I design this case, just make sure even if SMMU probe failed that cause by SW,
the MASTER also can work. _Because of our SMMU default mode is bypass._

Ditto. :)

Agree, the genuine probe failure may well be transient. But there is
depend on SMMU probe(IOMMU instance) status. There are two situations:

1. MASTER probing, SMMU doesn't probe yet.
	This case will match "the transient failure".
	really_probe get an EPROBE_DEFER from IORT and the MASTER probe will be
	delayed until SMMU probe successful.
2. MASTER probing, SMMU probe has failed.
	really_probe will always get an EPROBE_DEFER from IORT, because kernel
	has build in SMMU driver.(iort_iommu_driver_enabled) And the master
	never cannot do probe.

The case 2 is I want to handle.
