Master probing succeeds (so priv->kms is set), then kms_init fails at
runtime, during binding of the master device. This results in probe
deferral from the last component's component_add() function and reprobe
attempt when possible (once the next device is added or probed). However
as priv->kms is NULL, probe crashes.
