The particular case I'm seeing this is the nwl driver probe deferrals if
the panel bridge isn't ready (which needs a bunch of components
(dsi, panel, backlight wrapped led, ...) and it probes fine later on so I
wonder where you see the actual error cause? That downstream of the
bridge isn't ready or that the display controller is already attaching
the bridge?
