Oh that's right, the -ENODEV case was just completely removed by my change.
Initially this would happen if !of_graph_is_present or if the remote node
doesn't exist.
Now that we are also checking for child nodes, we can't just return -ENODEV
when the graph or remote node is missing: we must also check that there is no
child node that is a panel/bridge.
For the graph remote case, we can reliabily return -EPROBE_DEFER when
of_graph_is_present and the remote exists and of_device_is_available.
Otherwise we can go for -ENODEV. I think getting -EPROBE_DEFER at this point
should stop the drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge process.
On the other hand for the child panel/bridge node case, I don't see how we
can reliably distinguish between -EPROBE_DEFER and -ENODEV, because
of_drm_find_panel and of_drm_find_bridge will behave the same if the child
node is a not-yet-probed panel/bridge or a totally unrelated node.
So I think we should always return -EPROBE_DEFER in that case.
As a result you can't get -ENODEV if using the of graph while having any
(unrelated) child node there, so your issue remains.
Do you see any way we could make this work?

Yes I totally agree. Given that using the child node directly apparently
can't allow us to distinguish between -EPROBE_DEFER/-ENODEV I would be in
favor of dropping this mechanism and going with explicit of graph in any case
(even if it's a child node). I don't see any downside to this approach.
What do yout think?
