OK, I'm going to use something like the below while submitting v2:

-	gpiod_rdy = devm_gpiod_get_optional(&pdev->dev, "rdy", GPIOD_IN);
-	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(gpiod_rdy)) {
-		this->dev_ready = ams_delta_nand_ready;
-	} else {
-		this->dev_ready = NULL;
-		pr_notice("Couldn't request gpio for Delta NAND ready.\n");
+	priv->gpiod_rdy = devm_gpiod_get_optional(&pdev->dev, "rdy",
+						  GPIOD_IN);
+	if (IS_ERR(priv->gpiod_rdy)) {
+		err = PTR_ERR(priv->gpiod_nwp);
+		dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "RDY GPIO request failed (%d)\n", err);
+		goto err_gpiod;
 	}
 
+	if (priv->gpiod_rdy)
+		this->dev_ready = ams_delta_nand_ready;

Deferred probes are handled effectively during late_initcall, no risk of 
infinite defer, see drivers/base/dd.c for details.
