Sure. The problem I faced was the following. Let's consider the
scenario where while the qce crypto driver and the interconnect are
compiled as static parts of the kernel, the bam DMA driver is compiled
as a module, then the -EPROBE_DEFER return leg from the qce crypto
driver is very late in the probe() flow, as we first turn on the
clocks and then the interconnect.

Now the suggested linux deferred probe implementation is to return as
early from the caling driver in case the called driver (subdev) is not
yet ready. SInce the qce crypto driver requires the bam DMA to be set
up first, it makes sense to move 'qce_dma_request' early in the boot
flow. If it's not yet probed(), it probably doesn't make sense to set
up the clks and interconnects yet in the qce driver. We can do it
later when the bam DMA is setup.

I have tested the following combinations with the change I made in
this patchset:

1. qce - static, bam - module, interconnect - module ->
qce_dma_request returned -EPROBE_DEFER
2. qce - static, bam - module, interconnect - static ->
qce_dma_request returned -EPROBE_DEFER
3. qce - static, bam - static, interconnect - module ->
qce_dma_request returned -EPROBE_DEFER
4. qce - static, bam - static, interconnect - static -> no -EPROBE_DEFER

Thanks,
Bhupesh
