Hi Yannick,

Thank you for the patch.

It's useful to know about what caused a probe deferral though. There's
now a dev_err_probe() function that prints the message as an dev_err if
the error code is not -EPROBE_DEFER, and as dev_dbg otherwise. It's
meant for probe time only though, so I don't think it can be used here,
but a similar feature could be useful. Or dev_err_probe() could be
extended to support non-probe use cases, but that would be more
difficult.
