Yes, I have verified that for Chromeos case, it is a deferral.

Perhaps. But I do not think that  is a problem. All the functions and
data in this file are in __init sections, and this entry is here to
ensure that the drm probe will wait for the privacy screen driver
(whenever it is loaded). That is the reason, ideally we  would want to
somehow restrict the privacy screen to be built into the kernel so as
to minimize the delay if any.

Ack. This message highlights that the kernel indeed found privacy
screen device in the ACPI and the drm probe will need to wait for it.
I think I agree that this message is not needed here, I think I'll
tweak the existing message in drm_privacy_screen_lookup_init().
