Allocating DMA after registering I2C adapter can lead to infinite probing loop, for example, consider the following scenario: 1. i2c_imx_probe() is called and successfully registers an I2C adapter via i2c_add_numbered_adapter() 2. As a part of i2c_add_numbered_adapter() new I2C slave devices are added from DT which results in a call to driver_deferred_probe_trigger() 3. i2c_imx_probe() continues and calls i2c_imx_dma_request() which due to lack of proper DMA driver returns -EPROBE_DEFER 4. i2c_imx_probe() fails, removes I2C adapter and returns -EPROBE_DEFER, which places it into deferred probe list 5. Deferred probe work triggered in #2 above kicks in and calls i2c_imx_probe() again thus bringing us to step #1 To avoid having this problem, move i2c_imx_dma_request() to happen before i2c_add_numbered_adapter(). This problem was encountered on VF610 CFU1 board with CONFIG_FSL_EDMA=n.
