Currently it66121_probe returns -EPROBE_DEFER if the there is no remote endpoint found in the device tree which doesn't seem helpful, since this is not going to change later and it is never checked if the next bridge has been initialized yet. It will fail in that case later while doing drm_bridge_attach for the next bridge in it66121_bridge_attach. Since the bindings documentation for it66121 bridge driver states there has to be a remote endpoint defined, its safe to return -EINVAL in that case. This additonally adds a check, if the remote endpoint is enabled and returns -EPROBE_DEFER, if the remote bridge hasn't been initialized (yet).
