I should add that mxsfb does a `dev_err_probe()` already when checking the return value of `drm_bridge_attach()` so the error printed is triggered by the additional check added in the above function while the code path already ignored -EPROBE_DEFER before. This looks sensible to me since upper layers can't known when all the downstream bridges are done probing or am I missing something?
