driver probe deferral mechanism is supported in driver core
deferred_probe_initcall makes sure that deferred probing is
delayed until late_initcall time.
Below is a few of word I got from drivers/base/core.c I thought it helps
to understand the mechanism in complete picture
* If a required resource is not available yet, a driver can
request probing to be deferred by returning -EPROBE_DEFER from
its probe hook.
* A driver returning -EPROBE_DEFER causes the device to be added to the
pending list. A successful driver probe will trigger moving all devices
from the pending to the active list so that the workqueue will
eventually retry them.
