I'd rather not conflate component driver probe with component_add()
being called. It's simpler if that is the case, i.e. all component
drivers are calling component_add() in their driver probe routine, but I
don't know if that's always true. I did this poor audit of the kernel

$ git grep -p \[^_]component_add | grep \.c=  | grep -v probe
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c=static int
amdgpu_dm_audio_init(struct amdgpu_device *adev)
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_audio.c=static void
i915_audio_component_init(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv)
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_hdcp.c=void
intel_hdcp_component_init(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv)
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/dispnv50/disp.c=nv50_audio_component_init(struct
nouveau_drm *drm)
drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw-mipi-dsi-rockchip.c=static int
dw_mipi_dsi_rockchip_host_attach(void *priv_data,
drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw-mipi-dsi-rockchip.c=static int
dw_mipi_dsi_dphy_init(struct phy *phy)
drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_dsi.c=static int vc4_dsi_host_attach(struct
mipi_dsi_host *host,

and then peeking at rockchip above I see that component_add() is called
in the mipi dsi attach ops and then I got lost trying to figure out
where it ends up. Maybe it is still in some probe call?

Anyway, I think we still have to do a rescan so that we can try to bind
the aggregate device. Is there a better API to use for that?
