[PATCH v5] drm/bridge: anx7625: Return -EPROBE_DEFER if the dsi host was not found

From: owen
Date: Mon Jan 17 2022 - 05:10:04 EST


From: owen <qwt9588@xxxxxxxxx>

It will connect to the mipi dsi host and find the corresponding
mipi dsi host node, but the node registered by the mipi dsi host
has not been loaded yet. of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node() returns -EINVAL
which causes the calling driver to fail.

If the anx7625 driver is loaded afterwards the driver requesting
the mipi dsi host will not notice this.

Better approach is to return -EPROBE_DEFER in such case.
Then when the anx7625 driver appears the driver requesting
the mipi dsi host will be probed again.
