If a client comes up early in the boot process (perhaps was a built-in driver), qmi_handle_init() will likely fail with a EAFNOSUPPORT since the underlying ipc router hasn't init'd and registered the address family. This should not be a fatal error since chances are, the router will come up later, so recode the error to EPROBE_DEFER so that clients will retry later.
