I'd write:

	i2c: imx: Defer probing if requesting DMA yields EPROBE_DEFER

	DMA might not be available yet when the i2c device probes.
	Properly handle EPROBE_DEFER on dma channel allocation by
	passing on this error.

It would be nice to point out where/how this failed for you.

Other than that this looks reasonable.

Best regards
Uwe
