Yes it is harmless. Components already enabled will not get disabled
in the error path. And the prober that enabled that component will see
that a component was enabled, and skip doing the whole process again.

So something like:

    comp1 probed -> comp2 probed -> comp3 -EPROBE_DEFER ->
        comp1 skip -> comp2 skip -> comp3 probed
