This looks good, just a few comments below:

Would not you want to issue a message indicating that the Device Tree
must be updated here? AFAICT with your patch series, this should no
longer be a condition that you will hit unless you kept the old DTB
around, right?

This can be simplified into:

			if (err == -EPROBE_DEFER)
				dev_dbg();
			else
				dev_err();
			goto err_probe_ports;
