My intention was to specifically pick and handle EPROBE_DEFER while not
changing how the driver handles other errors, whether it because there
is no DMA channel specified or there is a failure to get the channel.

But if you prefer to ignore only ENODEV and report other errors then I
can send v2.
It could expose otherwise ignored configuration error (from DT?) and the
change in the driver will be blamed for the regression.

Would it make sense to add the change you suggested as an iteration on
top of this patch?
