[PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Defer on rproc_get failure

[Luca Weiss]

If we already have gotten the rproc_handle (meaning the "qcom,rproc"
property is defined in the devicetree), it's a valid state that the
remoteproc module hasn't probed yet so we should defer probing instead
of just failing to probe.

This resolves a race condition when the ath11k driver probes and fails
before the wpss remoteproc driver has probed, like the following:

  [    6.232360] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc
  [    6.232366] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc: -22
  [    6.232478] ath11k: probe of 17a10040.wifi failed with error -22
       ...
  [    6.252415] remoteproc remoteproc2: 8a00000.remoteproc is available
  [    6.252776] remoteproc remoteproc2: powering up 8a00000.remoteproc
  [    6.252781] remoteproc remoteproc2: Booting fw image qcom/qcm6490/fairphone5/wpss.mdt, size 7188

So, defer the probe if we hit that so we can retry later once the wpss
remoteproc is available.
